Excellent evenings racing in the Irish sunshine with everybody finishing safely :thumbsup:

Not surprised Hutchy is emotional after the shit show of luck he had had in the last few years. 2 leg breaks that almost meant amputation followed by a stroke that nearly killed him. To be back riding is ...

1. don't have copper pipe
2. can't solder or have soldering kit
3. simple options preferred

I avoided social media today so i could catch up on recorded BSB this evening. Just watched the Supersport race start and said straight away to missus ....."thats not looking good and i have a bad feeling"

Sadly i was correct having seen the suspension of the event then the subsequent cancellation ...

The 2 biggest organizations are IAM and Rospa and these are the ones that the insurance companies like and offer discounts for. Ironically both are self governed and managed and none are qualified advanced instructors but observers appointed within the group who can comment on your riding after an ...

@Beancounter

Cam, re the belts, get hold of Funners either here or FB as he has done them on the Multi which is a similar engine/process and fairly sure he did a step by step guide on one of the Ducati forums

Doesn’t seem to be unless they are going really big on the gag as it was announced late in the day and also affects the WTF road racing branch for the TT

I do wonder how much the loss of free to view in the UK with BSB going from Eurosport to pay channel TNT has hit the sponsorship opportunities ...

A beautiful,cloudless,dry and sunny morning here. Not a hint of moisture or frost. Guess what? All those lovely bone dry roads are now gritted. No rain forecast for a week.

Why do they do that? What part of a dry road is going to freeze?

Bah. :(


The joys of cleaning all the unrequired salt ...

That sounds like you're referring to Rhem, they use transponders and group you with them like FE do, Rhem have optional races one the last the day including what they call the "silly old man" ( ISTR) class for the oldies amongst us :wave:

There is a German one that the 44 teeth lot have used as well. Think they refer to them as chronodays as there are transponders for lap times in sessions and a “race” at the end of the day.

Do you work all year round? Or skip the shitty winter?

I tend to skip Dec and Jan as the weather is crap and there isn’t a lot of work so I leave it for the full time instructor so he can earn. This year I waited till March as I had a horrendous cough since Dec

Been out on the Fazer this morning as it’s been laid up for ages due to front tyre issue and a leak on the bead so won’t hold pressure. Finally got the tyre off, sanded the rim and tyre back on so all sorted.

Lots of the dusty salt on the road but managed a couple of hours hooning about locally ...

Yep, it's 79(3) the disappointment is palpable


The dates just show when your provisional entitlement is valid from …… everybody has it on their license but the 79(3) is the restriction on the license . If it says 01 that’s a restriction to say the rider needs to wear glasses/contacts for the ...

Ah the joys of winter commuting and the entire bike covered in a nice layer of crap

Snetterton have days at the end of this month for £149 for the 300 circuit. Silverstone are taking the piss and hoping "but this is the GP track" justifies the costs

My dad is a very quiet man, never smoked, swore or drank and will do anything possible to avoid confrontation ..... He rarely shows any negative emotion at all but occasionally breaks out in loud laughter when something hits the mark. In character we couldnt be more different in all honesty.

He ...

I have bought assorted parts and tyres for them mail order over the years and can’t fault the service I had or prices as well.

The service lads at Swansea also helped me out big style when I needed a chain supplied and fitting on a Saturday morning at no notice to get me home.

I remember ...

I'd do that,but you can't record with a stick afaik.


Looking into that as i know someone who has recently one that allegedly has a record function but yet to see it tried



Not sure about that mate, pretty much everyone/everywhere are doing deals, EE phone contracts, Sky, BT, etc etc ...

To add to sky will hit me 348 quid on top of the current monthly cost ….. might bin off the entire sky package and get a fire stick instead

Will set up the multiple records on the Sky box and see which one fails, must get the most out of this season before it gets locked away on a pay channel

Scratch that, it looks like it's already left Eurosport, so I'll not be watching.


Gone to TNT sport and also lost on the Discovery plus app ...

Watched that last night, not bad at all with some decent content from behind the scenes
