this was held at Sheffield Arena in 2010 and for a free show it wasnt at all bad,loads of displays and you could go out for an assesment with a police rider.This year its at Doncaster racecourse

well worth a look and the assessed rides are really worth it no matter how experienced you are.

opinions please is it ok to wear red leathers on a blue bike or is it a massive fashion faux pas?

looks like a gooden don't it! Free pit walk, Free entry, Free to watch them practice. Going to guess and say the food will be bloody expensive though.

but if its free entry you dont have to buy food from the circuit, theres a supermarket in castle donnington thats got a pretty good restaurant.

Moan over

we got there at about 1 ish and were leaving at 1/4 to 2.seemed to be something missing,oh yeah some classic japanese bikes.dont think I'll be going to this one again.

your probably better off having them shot blasted and powder coated

as in a local French charity?

good luck Dave I hope everything works out for you, Its definitely got me thinking as well because I like a drink and usually have way too much on friday,saturday and sunday night.I'm thinking about cutting it out or down drastically so at least I can still have a drink if I want before I'm told I have to give it up alltogether

but I cant decide between one of these

a crossplane crank R1.
like the idea but hate that huuuge back end.nearly as big as a b-king

never get tired of watching this, the guys a star.

Im not normally superstitious but theres a few bike related superstitions I will not break under any circumstances,First I will never buy a bike with an X in the registration,this is because in my time Ive written 3 bikes off and they were all X reg.second I will not ride on May day bank holiday weekend because the three bikes I wrote off were all done on that weekend,thirdly whenever I get any new kit I have to pacify the tarmac gods by rolling around on the floor wearing it before I will wear it on the bike and someone has got to witness this as well,and finally whenever I get a new bike I always scratch it somewhere where it cant be seen so its not perfect any more,the last time I didnt do this i kept dropping spanners,locks and everything else on it.any more superstitions or rituals?

I put something like this in my water when I do a change, it gets rid of all the chlorine and as long as the temperatures ok you can put tap water straight in http://www.amazon.co.uk/Interpet-Boiactive-Tap-Safe-30ml/dp/B004TDW0KW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1359066919&sr=8-4

i got mine today from the petrol station first thing this morning.

have you tried taking it to a really high building,at least 300 feet and launching it off the top,probably wont fix it but it will make you feel a lot better.

Was going to but at over 2k i cant afford to get them nicked

fortunately for me theres not much demand for alloy wheels off a 10 year old Rover these days

took mine off and put normal nuts on.

after another conversation with the guy at the shop,they seem to think it could be the big end thats just started to break up.cant see that being very expensive,on the positive side theyre going to try and get Ducati to stump up some money as this shouldnt happen on a 10,000 mile bike with a full service history,if not its getting traded in for something else and soon.

well took the bike in today for a service and to find out whats causing a rattle and I got a phone call a couple of hours later to tell me they found swarf stuck to the magnetic sump plug,this is not good.

been thinking about this and imho the worst thing he did was to hit the brakes when he saw the speed camera van,the highway code rule 163 says move quickly past the vehicle you are overtaking, once you have started to overtake. Allow plenty of room. Move back to the left as soon as you can but do not cut in.
so I would interpret that as spending as little time as possible on the wrong side of the road and if that means breaking the speed limit then so be it.
so to be fair who amongst us bike riders hasn't done 113 mph in a 60 limit,if the van hadn't have been there all he would have done is gone past the leading car and pulled in.
