I'm glad I'm not the only one ....

You would certainly think that but it has been known for me to lose my motorbike ...... I shit you not, a few years ago I parked my bike on a multi storey car park in Leicester, went of in to town and when I came back my bike was gone!! I called the Police and decided to have a walk around the different levels of the car park to see if maybe they'd ditched it somewhere ...... I found my bike on the next level down, realising, embarrassingly, I'd parked it on another level. I had to call the Police back and explain my mistake which they found highly amusing.

FFS!! Fair play to the rider, kept his shit together and avoided what could have been a serious RTC ..... Hard to believe that bus drivers are allegedly classed as "professional drivers" on insurance proposals, there was f--k all professional about that stunt, don't understand why some people were judging the biker?? job well done on his part....

Just been looking on their web site, expensive but they do look good, and also get good write ups and reviews from others who have purchased them .... My problem is I have a tendency to keep losing the damn things and at that price it really would hurt

Very novel use of a Jacuzzi .... I like it

Really sad news, made me think of what my dad used to tell me ..... Don't live in the past "you can't change history", Don't plan too far ahead "you never know what waiting round the next bend", live for the here and now because that's what matters.

No thanks .... I’ll stick to getting wet and cold

Have fun mate .... Nice bike

Good to see, especially when organisations are willing to work together. Refreshing to see well organised groups like this willing to support us through representation, give us a voice and make a stand

Ouch .... you were both unlucky but also very lucky ..... seen some nasty accidents with circular saws

Done similar ..... forgot to take the disc lock of ..... only ever done it the once though

Mostly I test ride, but I have bought bikes without doing so, if you’re happy and satisfied that it’s right for you then I don’t see a problem

It’s as tidy as it’s ever gonna get

Nice tidy job, ideally I would have liked to have done the same we just don’t have the room, no room to turn around in our utility.

Yep, unfortunately, with everything else being cancelled it was a no brainer really ....

I've got some citronella thing in the garage that the wife bought, I was dubious, but in all honesty it does seem to keep the spiders away, don't seem to have a massive problem with them

As expected sadly! https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2021-03-10/isle-of-man-classic-tt-and-manx-grand-prix-2021-cancelled

It's not until September so fingers crossed, as far as I'm aware no announcement has been made to say they're considering cancellation "as yet"

Eventually got round to putting this on the wall in the garage. Easy to assemble and install, well made, strong and robust, powder coated .... If you're with Bennetts Rewards you get a discount on the cost of purchase. I'm happy with it, bike gear was normally sat on top of the bike, on the floor on on top of the tool box, it's all in one place now and nice and tidy .....

I reckon if they've cancelled this that there's a strong possibility the the FOM (MGP) will also be cancelled this year. I was also set for the NW200, not gonna happen now, I was also planning on a trip to the IOW for the Diamond Races, all gone rat s--t .... Seriously missing the road racing!

Very, very sad news, really sorry to hear that mate, take care of yourself ....

Yes, the one there before it was basically an old shed, loads of character though, Cracking cafe / restaurant favourite spot for breakfast

Gets packed out with bikers on sunny weekends and during TT, great atmosphere https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/the-sound-named-one-of-britains-best-biker-cafes/
