  1. what bike you got? is it that sv650 if so you got wrong tyre on, you have a 180 and should have a 160 on
  2. ok my bad, i am on the same page again lol fully comp all the way though, not worth loosing anything
  3. why does everyone who has tp and tpf&t all look at it like, "the bike is only worth xxxx amount its not worth it" yeh ok so your bike aint worth much and you can repair it, but what happens to the other damage that you could cause and have to pay for, you fall off on your own acount that is fine but the bike slides into a parked car and damages it / slides and hits someones fence or garden or property / god forbid it happens the bike hits curb, flips and hits someone. how you going to pay for that?
  4. not sure if i will be going this year, i know my mate marc aint racing and there is likely to be lots of snow still, so will have to see what happens
  5. full kettle of water, so you can have a quick and constant supply of hot tea, cos its cold out there and your going to be there a short while lol, other than that take your time and make sure you tighten everything at the end, also take this time to check all over the bike.
  6. oh dear not looking like a big meet, unfortunately i am still in swansea then so i not be able to make it but from what my rents are saying and knowing matlock, i cant see it being clear of snow mate, they still got over a foot and all that is happening is its icing over rather than melting. good luck and stay safe to all that venture
  7. as much as i would love to join you i dont think my mother would let me, its her birthday and she would string me up by my delicate bits if i missed it lol
  8. before you consider racing, as stu has said, have a few track days, and if you find paying for them easy get saving, on average its around £400 per race, and then there is the tyres, maintenance, van, kit, fuel, practice, hotel/camping. buying a bike in the first place, the trick bits, liquids. your not to old, but i would look into a bigger class of bike, maybe 400 or 600. that way if you are good enough and go for a proper racing career you will win a little lol but you could go out to impress other teams and maybe if you can prove your worth people will start to sponsor you
  9. most helmets cope with glasses but i honestly can say that i would rather get the best helmet then get glasses that fit in, my safety is paramount, i have had fm,agv and arai and worn a shoei and all have been fine
  10. i have wondered that but i supose its the families choice how its pronounced lol
  11. i have a pair and people told me they were good, well, they are hot n sweaty in the warm days and wet and cold in the rain, i dont know if i had a duff pair but they aint rain proof, maybe a little bit but not as advertised. other than that they are comfy but i like tight narrow footed boots.
  12. Kersh you have transport, why you need me to come pick you up on the broomstick? you lazy git get driving lol
  13. as i love this time of year i am opening up to everyone a dam good night out, in fancy dress in Swansea with me and my mates. it would be great to meet some of the guys n girls that live in this area and to get a beer with the people i already know. so the date is 31st oct, in swansea, open to anyone, people that need somewhere to stay i recomend the Dragon Hotel, reasonable rates and in the centre so not far to stumble home lol. please come, its as good as the nights out in notts we have had and would be a good winter warmer pm me if you fancy it
  14. with low maintenance they can do that, its happened thru vibration slowly turning them as you ride, its probably been happening for a few weeks and you aint noticed, its what happens when the thread on the bolt slowly gets smaller than the thread on the nut. nothing major and can be found in most breakers
  15. i have a lump in my throat, he was such a happy smily lad who had his career firmly at his feet. doing so well, just shows that we love one of the most dangerous sports around and that life is for living. fingers crossed for DeAngelis and Reading
  16. sounds good to me if i am around, let me know what the plans are
  17. none of you moaning about skint can beat me, i am a bum iam a student and petrol money is long way down the list lol. as for time, well i do manage that a bit ll but yeh, when i am back i'll post up and we can get together
  18. ok so here is a rarety.....anyone fancy a trip out tonight, i am in the area and fancy a ride out seeing as i havent been on the bike for a while
  19. as dan said, your not the first lol. i ended up drilling, they are made of light metal which also means that if they bind like yours has they become a nightmare. defo on the WD40 overnight, that will help. then try cutting a slot, if not drill time. good luck mate
  20. He cocked up on that last corner though. Amateur haha yeh ok, you could have done so much better he didnt cock up he rode with self preservation in mind. if not injured there would have been paint swapping going on. i am not a huge rossi fan, yes he is one of the best riders, yes he does win races but i just cant get behind him like others do. but hats off to him this weekend, he has gone up in my estimation now just so glad i swapped depuniet out of my fantasy team on wednesday lmao
  21. yeh me, kipper and northern monkey are in swansea most of the time and i have quite a few mates with bikes here so soon a ride out will be arranged
  22. theory = 1 CBT = 1 Test = 2 i did it before rules changed lol and failed first time cos even though weather was shocking i did not prove i could do national speed limit. apparently not being able to see where your going aint a problem as long as your going fast enough lol theory = 1 car = 3
  23. decor dont leave without me lol
  24. i agree, i aint got room to be chewing gum without chewing the inside of my mouth. but thats cos i like my helmets nice and tight
  25. can i be a real plank and say i am traveling from near skipton, but i have no idea as to where i can meet up with you all lol, someone help
