okay so my home cinema sub woofer has not been working for a while,like since we went away to caravan for a weekend ,pesky kids!! so had a look at it and it had blown the 4amp slow blow fuse inside. as it was sunday went to pc world and curries which are next to each other, don,t sell fuses of any type in either store so I says to the salesman in curries ok so practically everything you sell in here depends on fuses but you don,t sell them. the cheecky fecker say's to me "we sell TV's but we don't sell the programs" part of me felt like dropping the tit there and then, only my sensible side and the wife being there stopped me. anyway got the fuses from maplin in the town but the sub keeps blowing them as soon as its turned on, looks like a trip to richer sounds for a new one. bugger.

well I never believe all the hype when a new bike comes out, seems lots of manufacturers have lumpy throttle action nowadays trying to keep emissions down at the cost of rideability. one of my m8's had the 650 versys up Scotland and I followed him for a while I could not believe it was the 650 what a good motor,and seemed to handle well the 1000 must be great. got to be worth a try.

bollicks , he was intent on killing him and would have used any tool to do it ,just so happens he had a gun. if he had used a car would you try ban cars. unfortunately you can't legislate for people like him,perhaps if the americans had a decent mental health system in place they could spot these people and the threat they pose. even if they banned the sale of guns now , it would change nothing just too many people own guns in America. I'm not a gun freak don't own a gun although I have been field and sport shooting I also have American friends one of them being a qualified gun coach who myself and my sons have been coached by when we visited them, these are decent law abiding people doing something they love. as usual they are being tarnished by a minority. sorry to get on my high horse about this but it pisses me off when people think banning something will fix the problem when it obviously will not.

cheers dave, we ran a different system for the rides, we had a fast group and a slower group and every one loved it, we all could have route maps if you wanted but the route was explained before we set off and we set certain meeting or coffee break points at suitable places where the slower group would meet up with the fast group again you could swop groups if you wanted but if you dropped off the fast group you either carried on to next meeting point on your own or let the slower group catch you and drop back in with them. caters for all bikes and riding styles and works well with a big group of riders.
