Shame you let it go but needs must .
Is it the one you used on the stag run your changing into a attack war craft ?

Yeah still got the stag run bike, need to do a bit on it once I've got the storm on the road, one of the front exhaust studs has rotted to nothing as well as the clamp so need to drill then all out and put new studs in, while I'm at it I might as well do the rears, that means stipping the swingarm off (well you don't have to but it's a lot easier) so with that off might as well fit the nitron shock I've got, just need fork springs and an oil containment belly pan and it's ready to race or scratch on the road or tour, then got to find money for race tyres and entry. I'll see how far I've got come early June and enter a race if I've got the money.

Bloody road works at Forest Hill on the sarf circular, I even got trapped in the traffic on the bike.
Bus 2" from an island, clear cycle lane on the inside, police bike stopped behind me, 15 minutes stationary.

I got off and asked him if going round on the cycle lane was ok, and he waited a bit, then said "I think that's probably illegal".

My bike currently ticks over at 1500 when hot, and runs on Super, so he got to breathe that for another 15 mins........
Our an a narf commute, what's the world coming to, might have just as well been in the car, could have had a snooze waiting, pish.

Part form that, nuffin

I felt like that the other day Tony, and I was only popping across to Marty's. I avoided Parliament sq as there are roadworks there and traffic is diverted down Whitehall, so went the other side of the river and then Stamford st is closed because of roadworks and got diverted to Waterloo East and ended up going down the Cut by the Old Vic there. And then.... there was more roadworks further down. :lol: Bloody nightmare. London traffic and roadworks is becoming a total joke. And how long does one have to sit at a Red light for before they change :twisted: :twisted: It's mental.

Fake laughter in American sitcoms. There is no need for such crap, it kills the programmes.

Without the canned laughs how will we know where the funny bits are??

What's annoyed me today?? I sold a 2001 Kawasaki Concors last week. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles has an online form you can fill out that informs the powers that be the you no longer own said motorcycle. This is necessary just in case theh new owner neglects to transfer the title. It lets the state know that you no longer own the bike and any tickets, tolls or judgments it collects are not your responsibility. Like I said, I accessed the on-line form, filled it out and hit "submit." A print box pops up. You can't submit the form electronically. You have to print it out and take it to the DMV! Why not just have a scribe ink the information on parchment? Here is the best part. I will take the printed form to the nice lady at the DMV (I am being facetious because the ladies at the DMV have a reputation as being hateful, angry and rude) and she will type it all into the computer. It must be some type of state jobs program.

What's the point in the online form then or do you have to fill the form in to get another one.

I reckon it's because they need to see you face to prove you are who you say you are, so next time, walk in there wearing a Scream mask :lol:

Going to the Jamie run, helmet blew off the saddle due to the wind, chipped, then getting lost following the wrong group of bikes somewhere near Colchester and riding home billy-no-mates stylee.

On the bright side- wife commiserated, then told me to buy a new helmet asap.....
And the bunch I followed were riding quicker than our lot :D

Alls well that end swells
