Actually, the only thing against a monster is the lack of wind protection. You really do know you're going 60+ (and you will )

I'm glad I have some fairing on my bike, it's a little, but it helps and you have the option of popping a double bubble on if the fairing's there.

Like you have the option of putting a nose fairing on a 696!

they don't like the cold or the wet.. and could work out expensive in terms of servicing / repair...

In the 90's, maybe. Although I have used all four of my Ducati's all year round with no problems (apart from minor carb icing on the M600)

They are much more reliable and more in line with Japanese bikes to run from new!

I would have the 696 as a first bike. In fact I did get it's predecessor as a first bike, an M600 and it was great!

Always a shame when these talented guys meet their untimely end.

Well done and good luck with the rest!

Bugger, I was planning on popping down there maybe 7-8ish tonight, but I'm sure you'll be gone by then!

Dagnammit! I've got a bloody christening to go to!

Well done!

I know nowt about this new fangled test!

Does that mean you're good to go??

Which part?

I may be able to do this now!

I've posted on the relevant link. Just waiting for confirmation from her indoors!

Lucky sod!

Have a great time. Wish I was going!

Thats good. I'm not working, I'll have to check the kids social calender though!

When is this Korben?

I can hopefully meet you at Leicester if (I'm not at work or busy taking the kids to football/ballet/beavers/rainbows/swimming etc etc etc! )

I need to get some more riding done this year!

3rd time, but I did the first two before they cancelled them for bad weather and managed a 20ft skid in torrential rain on the emergency stop on my first one!

On the second one I nearly got hit by a car doing 70-80mph in a built up area and even the examiner was gutted to fail me as I was gingerly pulling out of a junction between parked cars and he appeared round a bend! I wasn't very happy to fail for that!

Third one was ace!

£2 on the wife!

ALWAYS, I sometimes wave an arm or leg too!

That'll be us reaping the fruits of our motorcycle youth training scheme then!

Britain will produce great riders year on year. When it promotes a healthy pro active, non discriminate, equal terms, approach to bikers in general.

(Don't hold your breath people! )

I was there on Sunday in the car

14.2 at 108mph with the a standard gearbox, so I couldn't launch it!

I was chuffed!

Here is me on the line (right)

Weather was great on Sunday!!

Next time I'll be on the bike!

I'd imagine they could fixed penalty you still though?

Mirrored visors blinding others! LMAO only if someone had a flat head!

In that case!

If it can be confirmed!

Maybe we should go on the protest and have a few more!

Out of intrest do you guys carry your spare visors with you when out playing ?

All the time.

Although I may leave my dark one off for the time being as I'm nursing 'a few' points!

Me too, but never say never!

OOPS, bit

OK, But I'm at work and can't see pics there!

I'm not at home until Friday either, but someone else will help you out long before then!

Next time you need to relax before the cuffs go on!

Is it a screw in lug, or welded in place and did it fall or get snapped off?

Either way it shouldn't be that big a job, although I'm not familiar with the type of bike.
