Well I was gonna go down the a1 but I could be tempted by a Cockfosters detour if you want

Just saw too 2016 sucks

yeah but they are still in my "maybe yes" category as opposed to the people who I think are in the "yes yes" category we will send you some pics Mr B!

...is that what you were using on the last run? I'm not convinced then

Hey Johnny I think maybe your best bet will probably be to get the seller to measure the distance between the top fixing holes and see if that will fit. Also from internet'ing the exhaust fix point looks slightly different on the Suzuki.... maybe try and get a measurement from him for that too?

*bump* Just a reminder that the ride of joy is tomorrow *looks at MrBrightside* At least me, Hoggfather, Glorian and Gin will be in the pub from 12 so if you can come be cool to see y'all

Yeah watched this today! Slightly insane? Fking mental more like

Miller should have done at least one year in Moto2 rather than jump right up. Also Rabat was quite injured at the beginning of the year - I'm willing to give him another chance - although Vinales is putting people to shame by doing so well so fast Rins is one of the few riders of recent years who has done well straight away in his first year of Moto2 after stepping up (although the pressure seemed to get to him at the end of last year and he did start crashing a lot!) so it will be interesting to see how competitive he would be from the off in GP. Sad that Cortese doesn't seem to have clicked in 2... also Alex Marquez needs to get his act together too! As I recall he had... 2? terrible terrible seasons in moto3 before he won it though! Think the record was 7 crashes in a weekend

Jonas Folger is confirmed, second TBC Crash have the following list! MotoGP rider contracts Repsol Honda Marc Marquez (End of 2018) Dani Pedrosa (End of 2018) Movistar Yamaha Valentino Rossi (End of 2018) Maverick Vinales (End of 2018) Ducati Team Jorge Lorenzo (End of 2018) Andrea Dovizioso (End of 2018) Suzuki Andrea Iannone (End of 2018) ? Aleix Espargaro to continue? Or Aleix Rins (looking for factory ride) or Johann Zarco (who has a Suzuki option)? KTM Bradley Smith (End of 2018) ? Long list of possibilities from MotoGP, Moto2 and KTM's test riders - but Pol Espargaro looks to have emerged as favourite. Aprilia Gresini Sam Lowes (End of 2018) ? It seemed likely that one of the current riders would stay, meaning Stefan Bradl or Alvaro Bautista, but Aleix Espargaro is also in contention. Marc VDS Honda Jack Miller? Tito Rabat? No decision likely until further seats decided. Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Jonas Folger (End of 2017, Option 2018) ? Pol Espargaro is leaving, so should Herve Poncharal go for an established star or second rookie? Pramac Ducati Scott Redding? Danilo Petrucci? Scott Redding (who has an option for 2017) and Danilo Petrucci could well continue, but likes of Chaz Davies and Eugene Laverty may also be in contention. LCR Honda ? Option in place with Cal Crutchlow and Honda's Livio Suppo is keen for the Englishman to stay: “I think Cal and Lucio are doing a good job and it should be important for Cal to stay in the same team.” But if LCR switches to Suzuki, maybe Johann Zarco? Aspar Ducati Yonny Hernandez? Eugene Laverty? No decision likely until further seats decided. Team has expressed interest in Aleix Espargaro and Alvaro Bautista. Avintia Ducati Hector Barbera? Loris Baz? No decision likely until further seats decided. Interested in Pol Espargaro, but Spaniard thought more likely to go to KTM.

I thought he had signed already for KTM but the internet seems to suggest this is just "very likely" rather than "happened"

meh as long as it fits I don't really care what the number on it says!

Says the guy who didn't shout at the garage that fked his rims

Aww sorry you can't make it Aleyj hope it's nothing too bad and hopefully see you for the next one B you spoon well no rush just turn up if you can

Just watched the extra show. Loads better!! Ditch Evans get that Rory bloke to host the main one!

Haynes website only lists one for the 900 not 1200 (so points for Johnny! ) https://haynes.co.uk/catalog/manuals-online/motorcycles-online/triumph/triumph-fuel-injected-triples-1997-2005-manual" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Ebay and Amazon probably your best bets

November!! Dunno what I'm doing next week

You know the ride out is on Saturday right? well we'll be in the pub from 12 till at least 1 I reckon so feel free to rock up if you're freeeee

So I should watch it?

Sadly that's true. Make it shorter with less pockets and pink stuff on! It's definitely getting better but the one lone rail of women's jackets Vs the 8 of men's at shows generally means it's more luck than anything if you find one you like Defo go try stuff on, if you think "normal" clothes vary a lot between brands they haven't got anything on bike gear!

Looks good just got to make sure we all get to the end point now

Bike monopoly get a picture of the bike by a street sign matching each of the monopoly squares. FINALLY LIVING IN THE M25 PAYS OFF!

ooh we were at Loomies the other day and they have upside down helmet hanging baskets which are pretty cool!

my bag though played a trick on me. got some takeaway, returned home, the zip failed and no food in the bag have to take extra booze instead Oh man that sucks well... The no food bit not the more booze bit

Can someone go let priest's tyres down so the rest of us stand a chance in hell of catching him

yeah not sure how entertaining it will be... I may give it a try.... first one to watch can report our findings back to the group
