Is that like a padded room environment and porn studio environment !

I know I would need 20 mins to adjust after leaving the porn room

Over priced laptops :lol:

It means the virtual machine I do programming in, and the one I test my code in. Some smart ass thought it would be a good idea to use 2 different ones

That or go with lloydie's idea
Try a GSXR 1000 mate I still get out,

I have the world's worst mental map of roads as I'm the sat nav generation.

Banksy was saying right you go down this road which connects to this and that and the other, I had to say right... I won't lie you lost me with the first road as i don't what any of what you said means. He said follow, I nodded.

My journey home from work is 1 hour of hell in my car or 25 mins of joy on my storm. So that keeps it used daily :thumbup:
If you're getting bored of biking you need to alter the type of riding you do. Have you tried track days? Have you tried touring! Have you tried rallys or race meets? There's so many different ways to enjoy a bike.

I think I might just do that one evening this week, go and ride some different roads :)

just ordered some oil and new filter, I'm also tempted to go down the straight-bar route at some point as it looks so much more comfortable and my storm literally kills me when riding slow+ two up
