Greta read guys Itchy for post of the year!

So my first rideout of the year. Barring 10 minutes from my mother in law's to my house, it's my first ride of the year! I haven't swung a leg over it (apart from that 10 minute trip) since I moved house in October! So I was a little nervous ...

... life? Am self employed after 40k or something anything g after that I have to pay 40% why should I have to 40% because I grafted me arse off all year. My lass is part time they don't know that so am paying extra because I worked hard stupid

Haslem did good shame about elison crashing out hope it doesn't go same way this year for him.

... players. That said its not as bad as if we'd had the Euro, we still currently have to buy colossal amounts of Euros to protect our prices for the years forecast trade, so customers don't get nailed when the Exchange Rate goes nuts, that will still remain the same, although the Pound might go up ...

... and sunlight will degrade the rubber, however if you want to check the date on them it should be on the sidewall as a number, showing month and year of manufacture, i.e. 2415 - the 24th week in 2015, that way you'll know if you've got a 3yr old tyre or a 8yr old tyre. A good way to check condition ...

Not sure on warmers either....location is everything....we used to get told 2 laps to get them up to temp....but then it's hot as fcuk to begin with??


3 year old tyres should be dumped....means you just had them 3 years,,,,God knows when they were made....?

Good spot kwacky... I'll take it down! Thanks!

Damn phone camera's being good enough to get a high quality picture.

Sorry, not sorry Rossgo! haha. I'm itching to get back out too but can't afford to tax it until next month so Silverstone is going to be my first proper ride this year!

I did have it as a daytime mot but it ran out in start of March so i didn't bother i did alot more track miles on it last year

... also the speed element as well. To be honest he was very polite and civil. He didn't come across as a job's worth. I suspect it's that time of year when they know a lot of people are wheeling their bikes out of the garage for the first time in months. Don't they do you for driving without dare ...

I must admit when I come to get a new lid I think I will go to different places and try on a fair few, my previous ones have been HJC and NEXX but want a Arai or Shoei as my top brands I want...I should be looks g on around a year and half so kinder looking forward to it haha!!

It's been cleaned more than it's been ridden this year. That'll soon change.

I had some black screen bolts on before. I'll see if I've still got them.

Lots still to do on the bike but it's getting there.

I don't think Stoner has any interest incoming back to race on a regular basis. I wouldn't be surprised if he only races in Phillip Island this year and then only if Ducati have no interest in the Championship. I think that's a spot on assessment of how things will pan out. You've got to give ...

too old he's 30 already

Maybe , maybe not , but he has already won a WSS title for Yamaha and finished 4th in moto2 last year on possibly the worst chassis in the field

... age expected. Had to do an EGC as well being over 40, no dramas there either. BP was 115/79 at 55 bpm. All good to abuse the body for another year (lol)

I'd agree with you Jack.. Iannone had a better performance last year and was the number 2 rider

I believe there is a control winglet for motogp next year.

Could hear it on the 636 last year so I followed a guide on YouTube on how to tighten up by forcing it to ratchet. Was pretty easy it was just a bit of a Pain to get to. Anyway started the bike and the chain noise has gone and was singing like a good un again.

... made then, i'll get them done 8) Blade, you're only allowed one modification recommendation per month to me though (lol) Seeing as it's a new tax year tomorrow I think he is allowed to make another... (wasntme) Err, Cav, for goodness sakes dont tempt him please 8)
