Been out on the mighty Tlr this afternoon covered about 150 miles and whilst i was riding within my comfort zone there were one or two times i had to "have a word with myself" in particular whilst having some fun with a Porsche 911 on duel carriageway somewhere near Northampton/Kettering at....well lets just say i couldn't get my wrist any further back and the only other 2 cars on this vast expanse of tarmac decided that they needed both lanes squeaky arse time for me but being in front of the man and his "midlife crisis mobile" meant i was in charge of the situation rather than him although I lost as much speed as possible it wasn't enough my only choice was the 4ft gap between the 2 cars and the armco barrier . once back on the country lanes and mr mid life crisis a distant memory things were better traffic wise but i was pushing harder and harder with every mile that passed chin on the tank and my guardian angel on my shoulder the bike was on song i have never ever felt the need to go that hard on a ride out especially whilst out alone i made it home safe and sound this time ..next time i may not be so lucky stay safe out there people

Ask your mum I'll bet she's got the book with at least 50 different shades of grey in it

was there a lot of pics ? Yoouuu cheeky f**ker I reckon I could read it again and still find it funny

Just finished the book really enjoyed it and some proper laugh out loud moments and a good insight into the TV stuff

I've been following this guy on instagram for a while now he's recently started a blog charting his racing life along with features from other racers and sponsors etc http://mightykwacker.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Spotted another date for a meet in Lincolnshire on Facebook today I have shared it to the forum page

"buy cheap buy twice" that's what my old grandma always says Price is based on quality of the materials I suppose .... You've only got one head so buy the best you can afford I'm lucky enough to be in a position at the moment to be able to get a decent lid. It pays to do some research though Bit the bullet and went and fetched it it is a thing of beauty £400 f**king though I must be nuts lol nice one Ross why not ? You work hard enough mate Cheers Dave it'd good someone appreciates me could you put your previous statement in writing to my boss please

Same here pencil me in

I agree Dave but as Bell isn't a "mainstream" brand in the UK I was concerned with the quality of the product which was really the reason behind my asking. Why do they cost so much ?

fit is more important than name or price IMO I agree Dave but as Bell isn't a "mainstream" brand in the UK I was concerned with the quality of the product which was really the reason behind my asking.

The fit was great to be honest and seems to be really well made. But as it wasn't a brand I'd considered I came away empty handed to do a bit of research £400 is a lot to shell out to find its a pile of Having posted on here and the tarmac terrorists Facebook page also read a dozen reviews online it looks like I'll be going back to j&s in the next few days as everything I've read has been positive fit is more important than name or price IMO I agree Dave but as Bell isn't a "mainstream" brand in the UK I was concerned with the quality of the product which was really the reason behind my asking.

I'm on for whatever provided I give work enough notice....already got a weekend in Paisley/Glasgow penciled in the diary.

it's a late starter aswell 630 rather than the usual 5/530 so no need for us more local lads to knock off work to early

Been down j&s today and the range of Bell Helmets really took my eye in particular the carbon m6 model. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this gear in general http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/m6-carbon-helmet-matt.html

Is there a set date yet? If not I will add it as soon as there is
