Thats very good, and done quite professionally, well found

I must admit i didn't know engines were grown from embryos

Nice one Chris, most helpful, thanks.

You're right Chaz,I can remember reading that. The guy had to keep going back and forth and i think he was going to lose his job if he lost his licence.Cost him a packet as well. Hope everything got sorted for him in the end. Having said that, i went for 10 days last year and had a brilliant time ...

As with previous replies, stick with it a couple of months. Your mileage will improve as you get used to riding a twin.Fuel economy is not THAT bad its a case of a small tank equalling reduced tank range to what you are probably used to. My light used to come on around the 90-95 mark when i first ...

About 6.30 am I was on the old lockgates in Spalding, warming the bike for Silverstone away from the house,<baffles> and a red one passed going into town.

Bluesman, no need to book hotels etc, just go with the flow, have a general itinerary and route but other than that go where it takes your fancy. Hotels are as cheap as you want, barter for everything, they love it. The Marco Polo hotel in Tangiers on the main road near the port was 100 Dirham ...

BSB at Silverstone this weekend, i shall be there, yippee!

I would say that of the people i came across/encountered/worked with over the 8 months i was there, 95% were okay,pleasant,friendly etc etc. Only one small incident in Tangiers one night and a bit of awkwardness in Rabat but other than that no problems. The road from Tangiers to Casablanca via Rabat ...

Well if anybody is thinking of going to Morocco on a storm, just to let you know its 1452 miles from Le Havre to Casablanca. :o When you do get there there are few petrol stations, mostly taking cash only, the diesel is very sulphur rich and dirty, not sure about the petrol. Surprisingly the roads ...

The bloke has phoned me back and admitted that things were a bit quick early on. They stopped further on and he got my text so they knew i was okay and that i had turned back. Thinking about it now i know i did the right thing and that they really were pushing it, but i still can't get my head round ...

Got a text mid-week from and old mate inviting me for a rideout this morning. Leathers on and off to the arranged meeting place. A few old faces turned up, some i never even knew had bikes. About 15 of us then left for a run, all makes of bikes but all superbikes/race bikes.R1's,Gixxers,Busa,Mille ...

Saw a red storm along with three other bikes today travelling through Corby Glen and going on to Bourne in Lincolnshire.
The rider of the storm had a crazy looking red devil mask thing on the back of his helmet.Looked a tidy bike though.

Red one in Oundle this morning at about 10.30 am.

Looks like a set-up to me

I'm ready for it now, i know its a bit early but got a glass of young homemade Elderberry and Blackberry, very nice

Plus it will stop me going out and trying to emulate Rossi and co.
