well according to the nice calculator on XP it is!
or perhaps it's 65 day suspension, £250 fine, £45 costs & £15 victims fund

In court 23rd September, the ban finished midnight of the 27th of November
I'm just about ready to take the stabilisers off now

One of those moments of madness on a seemingly empty road.
Well it was empty apart from the unmarked Silver police Golf in the lay by - strange, never even saw him in my peripheral vision - but then I was concentrating on the road ahead as there was a bit of a cross wind on an open section.
Had I seen him, he may have copped me in double figures, as it was I was still accelerating as I rode passed him. Something which he relished telling me. Alternatively - I'd have not stopped around a mile away to wait for my friends on old Brit bikes doing 50 tops on the way to the Isle of Man for the Manx GP.
Anyway that's me back on the road and thankfully didn't miss much good riding weather. That said, the commuting to work and back was pretty bad, especially for someone who despises buses. MTB to the rescue well that and wor lass in the car.
Morals, yes lots of them
Lessons learned, yep, a few of those too.
Won't list them all as I'll be here all night .... Oh go on then ..... (Joking!)
According to the 'forum clock' I last logged on here:
Tue May 19, 2009 10:12 am
Was pretty busy around that time and missed a few days logging on which became a week, then 2 weeks.
I am / was very anal (or should that be OCD) about this forum. When I've missed a day or two or a week, I like to log on and read all 'new posts' to catch up / keep up with what I've missed.
The longer I missed not logging on, the more uninterruptible 'me time' I knew I needed - vicious circle (told you I was OCD!).
I have popped on a few times to find stuff in workshop or whatever, but never logged on.
Apart from the beginning of the thread, no major drama's from my side, wor lass is fine - credit crunch is biting a little, but then only Lotto winners seem to be immune from that - oh and the feckin bankers who caused it all in the fist place :mad2
(Been on FB far too much

The sad news re Marty Zer0Zer0 broke the cycle - a sad loss.
Fittingly my first post of a new era was for Norma & Marty of course - The World is a far emptier place without him in it.
So now I'm back, from outer space ....
Go on sing!
By the way ---- K&N still in and still running fine - LOL
