You dare moan about not being paid enough or not having enough time off... I work in a school, and i work the 6 weeks -
if you know your dog has the tendency to wander off when not on the lead, keep it on a lead!! -
Think you may have to slow down then Lol! wasn't that fast new 4-1 section sticks out further than the old one -
Scratched my link pipe and scuffed Cay's boot on a roundabout though

Think they need to have a better way of getting bikes out of silverstone, two years in a row ive been and almost been knocked off my bike by ***** trying to race out the exit. -

good news! got a set of avon storm 2 ultras fitted this morning.. Bad news, f****ng screwdriver in it on the way home from skeggy! 200 miles and that happens. Good thing is, it went in the tread, not down through the tyre!! -
excited now

Yep, i did look a while back when i first got the bike and im sure it says **03 which would mean the tyre is infact, a year older than the bike ( unless the bike was made in 03 on a 04 plate? ) -

Yeah, not sure but seems odd that the previous owner went for a conti on the front and a bridgestone on the back. Mixing models of tyre is fine to me as long as its a softer compound on front IF different to the rear, but not mixing makes. Might bite the bullet and get a set of maxxis supermaxx fitted in the morning then take the bike for a 200 mile run to scrub them in. Either that or order a set of Avon Storm 2 Ultra. Either way i'm looking at £200 ish the pair fitted -

Don't worry, the bike came straight home from work and is now parked up in the garage, wont be using it till i get a new set ( i don't do singles and i wont touch part worn's ) tyre was fine this morning, so it was a case of getting home and putting it away. -

well after the ride home, i counted at least 10 bubbles in the tyre. The tyre was on the bike when i bought it in february and from what i can work out its a bloody old tyre! -
Can't say i've had this happen before on a motorcycle tyre, I know it was getting low and needing to be changed soon ( just about on the wear bands ) But got to work this morning to see this!! tyre was fine last night and when I left. Got a 15 mile journey home and not looking forward to it at all!! Its like this, every 4-5 inch around the tyre!

Bit of a plea here, the other halves dad's parrot has escape from his cage in studley. If anyone around the warwickshire area ( stratford, redditch, studley etc ) could keep a eye out for a African grey parrot, his name is Max and would probs be sitting in a tree somewhere barking. He does have a habbit of calling 2 names, Cayleigh and Craig, barking and pretending to be the phone ( pretty much all he does . Anyway this is him -
Remus Grand Prix exhaust, oval shape, carbon fibre, lovely sounding exhaust! comes with both springs, this is the race version with 54mm inlet, but its quiet enough to pass a MOT, and roars like mad when you open it up. £60 inc postage if anyone is interested? Only had roughly 1000 miles use if that. Nothing to say its not road legal 2thumbsWill post pictures tonight
