Looking like surgery for shakey

I 2 finger brake. I also 2 finger clutch.

Part of the reason I switched to short levers was because I was operating the levers like that and I snapped my left little finger knukcle to knuckle as a kid and the lever hitting the regrown bone lump on that finger hurts. Short levers I don't get that issue.

Sugru is ok if you are putting it round a cable to protect it where the casing is coming apart. Can also patch holes in buckets if done right.

But it is NOT a glue. Do not use it where 3m tape would normally be used.

Peter Hickman is normally there or close on either tbh.

A lot of the road racers use BSB as testing of the bikes and practice and don't normally do the preseason BSB testing as a result.

How much would it be to drop the kit off at the riders for life truck?

Doesn't cost a huge amount off memory.

It was that Mawsley fella.... he turned me into a Newt a while back , but I'm better now and fully recovered

as someone said just block people you don't like , I along with Westbeef expect to be on that list at some point .

I haven't blocked you yet so I think you are safe....

Would be good to have [mention]TC1474[/mention] back though.

Come back!

And thanks for providing the offer.

They couldn’t punish him anymore because of the poor decision with cannet in Moto 3 practice.

 

that was a joke, deliberately bringing a rider down should be a race ban as a minimum

 

Yep....agree, as long as it’s not Rossi though, he’s special. He’d never knock another rider off and not get penalised, or try to apologise to another rider in the pit lane garage !.....oh wait, hang on...he did knock Stoner off , he wasn’t penalised and he did apologise to CS in his pit garage!...which CS accepted face to face......with good grace.

.....unlike Rossi at Argentina, he sent his bum boy big bad Uccio to do his dirty work.

Rossi fans are so blinkered and have short memories.

I'm a Stoner fan and I'm not sure he took it in good grace.

But I totally saw the hypocrisy from Rossi in that situation as well.

Needles and heights for me.

I did CBT and DAS all the way to mod 1 failure in a week's intensive course. I decided to do in Exeter - a place I still get lost in - which wasn't a bright decision as I was always in the wrong lane. And I found the whole experience pretty tiring, so I wasn't functioning at my best at the end of the week. Friday was meant to be mod 1 and mod 2, but on the emergency stop I clipped a cone with my toe: it rocked to the left, then to right, then back to left, and then it fell over. Gutted. I think if I'd spaced it out over a month it would have worked better, but in the end it all ok: I found another school to continue with (as I was no longer in Exeter) and got through mod 1 and mod 2 with just a couple more lessons.

I did my test at Exeter back when the test center was deeper in Marsh Barton.

I had a month of lessons solely round Marsh Barton as it is pure hell if you aren't comfortable with it.

Morning all!

I have a hard drive that I removed from a laptop about six years ago after accidentally killing it with a mug of tea. I've been meaning to see if anyone could retrieve the files off it ever since, but as none of them were critical I never got around to it. I've just come across it again in a drawer, and thought I should pull my finger out and get it done.

Can anyone recommend a good data retrieval company, and is a light historical poaching in tea likely to pose any problems?

If you shut it down straight away it might be fine. Also a date recovery company can be mighty expensive.

First thing first, buy yourself a caddy for it and plug it into an existing machine via USB. If it works you just avoided hundreds to thousands of pounds.

And next....how many lines of Wasabi can you snort?

None. But I do get very cold hands hence why I run a higher setting than most.

From yesterday. The white BMW who tanked it the wrong side of the road past me and 2 other vehicles waiting to do a right turn due to the HGV pulling out of the junction.

BMW boy clearly didn't see it till too late, and only just avoided taking the roof off his car or going splat on the HGV. Bellend.

In winter I can easily run at 100%, most normally it's either 50 or 75.

Iannone just shouldn't be in the MotoGP paddock. He's just disappointed massively either through inconsistencies on the Ducati or just being crap on the Suzuki.

Not sure why a phone would be any more dangerous than a dedicated GPS unit?

 

 

A GPS shouldn't chime when you get texts, ring when you get a call, chirps when someone you love tweets, flashes across the screen for extended times when Facebook misses you...

GPS are much calmer than most phones.

Both iOS and Android can reduce notifications when driving. iOS apparently does it automatically when it detects you are traveling in a car, android does it through the android auto app. Calls get through, buy social media won't on android auto.

Alright, alright. Settle down with the wise cracks about my colossal bulk.

I'm a 32 waist, 34 leg. I think the old ones were a bit oversized so I could layer up in the cold - can't find any labels on them though.

Sure you ain't got those numbers the wrong way round? Might explain the first case

Tbh with the age they where it was probably time. I'd stick with RST again if you got that much life out of them.

The 17 litres is in a sealed metal container.

I know a guy who had a crash in a Range rover with a gallon of petrol in an open boot. The crash didn't hurt him, but the petrol filled the passenger compartment and exploded. He is disfigured for life.

Sorry megawatt I was just being a bit of a smart arse.

I imagine if he used a metal Jerry can he might have avoided that one. :/

Anyone got any suggestions?

 

Try a salad?

Don't fart so hard.

If you must

or

same thing but dearer.

But as Megawatt says, do you want 1 litre sloshing about under your seat.

As opposed to the 17 litres I let slosh between my legs in front of my seat

To be honest I know cars normally give the fuel light on 40 miles remaining so I always assumed the bike would warn on a similar range due to potential distances to a petrol station. It's certainly how I would design that system...

His music does naff all for me, just uninspiring. I can't get what all the fuss is about.

At least he doesn't talk live a chav like Adele tho.

Unlucky to fail but you proved on your subsequent attempts you can do it. So I wouldn't fret about it.

The nicking the pen was brilliant though.

Just watched the highlights on ch 5 good first race.....as for the Rossi haters he won't win many races nowadays but he has achieved more than any of the young guns ever will and will always be a threat vr46 may have become a brand but he his the goat

 

Marquez will have won more by the time he gets to Rossi's age

Depends if he can keep bouncing like he does when he crashes..... Age and luck will catch up at some point it's just will he get the record before that happens?

I'd agree if it doesn't, he will have more than Rossi.

I'm all booked in @Stu

Just me on me todd

 

Nah.

You've got Lewis

 

I'm not babysitting, he sounds bigger than me! And it's my weekend off .

Don't ask how I've managed to a blag a week at the TT and this weekend with 2 little uns

Doing better than me, I have to sell my soul to go kart atm.

Ah by Bridgnorth. My family comes from there originally (I know the house my great great grandfather was born in and our family Bible was a gift from the local Lady who my relative was a lady in waiting for.)

Will see if I can get permission.
