Happy birthday mate, have a good one

That had a topbox

Probably heading here with a few friends on 23rd March. Anyone else? http://www.classicshows.org/manchester2013/index.php

Ride safe mate and will catch you later in the year

Bit far for me mate I'm in Manchester that weekend at the bike show.

I'll be there mate!! Air the tent nearer the time.Bike is getting serviced etc as we speak!! Looking forward to it

Looks good mate Looks like one of those fast red ones, so keep an eye open

I'll pick .....

Looks good mate. Hopefully see it in the flesh later in the year

I have seen them all, got Skyfall to watch which am hoping to see the weekend. Some I like, some I don't. Like everything, it's a personal choice. My favourite Bond? Brosnan. Daniel Craig has a good handle on it, but not sure I'll ever forgive him for Quantum of Solace

Better in the flesh It would have to be. I don't think I mind it, it just looks strange!?!!

What is that???

Good work mate

Bit belated. Hope it was a good one

Congrats mate Well done to you and the rest of the lads

Looks good mate. Hope it as you expect

Well done mate Good news We'll share an orange or a lemonade when we meet

Welcome on board mate Like the bike The youngest had the Firestorm before he got his R1. If it had been an SP1 I think he would have kept it

f n idiot. Agree with all the above. Hopefully the guy recovers well

Think I'll read the website info later on and see what the detail is. Given the price, may go for it. Will let people know what happens

Good work mate. Got no idea what half of it means, but sounds good

Good luck mate. As everyone else has said, get the op, do the rehab then back on the bike!!

Little b s. Hopefully you get everything sorted out mate. The Police do this, then wonder why people start dealing with things on their own? For me, take a hand. No-one steals more than twice!

Most of it already been said. However, Macie_UK has a point: "Should every 'SMIDSY' constitute a 'careless driving' charge, regardless of road conditions? Personally I think that it should, but all you will get then is "well I did see him, but misjudged his speed / the gap" and then your into a new can of worms ruling on personal perception and judgement." Same as Stue: "Same as the drink drive law.....because theres a limit folk will try and drink whithin it...if i had my way i'd ban all usage of mobiles whether it be a stupid ear piece or an hands free then theres no arguements simples" I agree with both. Maybe it's what we need. Too many people on the road, both cars and, unfortunately, bikes as well seem unable to properly judge distances and are unable to look ahead and assess what is likely to happen. I don't know how you'd do it, but this should be monitored. I think we've all been behind the guy doing 50, or even 40, on a mainline trunk road with a 70 limit!

Sort of loses a bit when you have to explain
