1k to spend... Should be able to get some good gear mate!! As has been said, fit is important with the lid... You shouldn't have any problems with getting some good leathers, good boots, good gloves and a good back protector.... Pick helmet first, back protector 2nd (if you are getting one), then work from there mate...

Sounds good mate!!

Yeah... Hopefully you will have the same weather we have in Derby... The odd very very light shower and slighty cloudy... Bloody windy here though..

Ouch!! To be honest mate you may struggle to get an answer... With this new course only just coming in prices are probably all over the place at the moment.... Bloody expensive compared to the old price though...

No worries Akey, Will do mate!! Any reason to ride the B6013!!

Unfortunately mate it's the outside of the shell... You might be able to change some of the internal pads, but not sure that will acheive the desired effect...

Just read this from another forum about Draggin Jeans he was wearing in an off at 65mph. (American if you hadn't guessed)

If the weather does what it says, count me in mate. What time you leaving yours? If it's ok with you would not mind meeting you there and riding down together.

Just to warn you mate... For every 1 item you buy you will add 2 more to the list... Honestly it never ends!!!! My Current list (Just Clothing) 2nd Helmet (Shoei Multitech) 3rd Helmet (Shoei XR1000) Custom Paint Job for 3rd Helmet Goretex Boots Goretex Textile Trousers Goretex Textile Jacket Red Route Jeans 2nd Alpinestar Leather Jacket 2nd Pair of Alpinestar Gloves 2nd Pair of Alpinestar Boots New Cotton Balaclava Knox Hip and Pelvis Protection Shorts (Top of the list in the real world) It never ends!!!!

Im currently double booked... It's down to finances at the moment. If I am rich I will be at BMF (Heard good bargains to be had) otherwise I will be watching the Marv race.

Look through the pages QB... We have found a lodge type place. Good quality place!! You know me, I am the same as you when it comes to staying somewhere!!!

Of course mate, go for it!!

Wouldn't it be safer on your head?

Too true mate... Was thinking about this just last night. Really pissed off about not being able to make it yesterday. Going to take a look at my diet and try and get back into some exercise. Although I ain't anything like overweight my cardio is screwed and I need to build some upper body strength.

Yeah, not looking clever with the weather at the moment, but saying that 3 days ago it said Monday was going to be glorious here and it's raining pretty much from 8am onwards now....

Yeah, I have a legal tinted visor, but to be honest it's not brilliant... Still find I struggle with the sun in my eyes... Have not used it since I got my mirrored visor...

Well was meant to be going to Cadwell, but was simply too knackered for a 200 miles round trip and standing around for a few hours in between... Managed to get out though for a couple of hours and had a good blast round my favourite route this morning. For those interested this is the route I take when I just want a quick blast... http://www.a-trip.com/tracks/view/19709 Stopped of at CMC's in Chesterfield... Very strange when I pulled in as it was empty... Me, and 2 other bikes in the car park... It was only when I looked at the time I realised every one must be at home getting ready to watch the MotoGP. Had a good ride back to Derby and literally sat down on the sofa just as they were lining up after the warm up lap for the MotoGP!!!

Was a great day out mate... Just shy of 150 miles covered and at times it was a little "Enthusiastic" so my legs are feeling it now... Jacket is this one. Alpinestars Dyno Blue Leather Jacket http://www.flyinbriansdeals.com/images/alpinestars/jackets/womens%20jackets/stella_dyno_blue_lg.jpg

All bikes are different mate... Probably just need to get used to it...

Very well done Stu!! Had it once in a McDonalds car park... A load of us saw a bloke hit a car as he was reversing out... Thinking he was doing the decent thing when he got out of the car, all he did was look at the damage to his car then get in and drive off.... About 4 people called the Police all at once. He turned up half an hour later with a Police car following him!!

Well it's been a very very good day for riding.... Set off about 9ish heading towards the TAG I have done today... Can't say no more although the roads nearby are fecking bumpy!!! Anyhoo lots and lots of new roads from home to there then from there to Chesterfield to complete the TAG game... Nipped up to CMC's after that for a drink and a rest. Sat drinking my coffee and paid attention to what I was looking at.... Made me feel good for some reason so grabbed a picture. http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc324/bikerkorben/Tag%2002-05-09/100_0076.jpg Set off from there and suddenly every car driver on the road was not happy about bikes filtering... Didn't stop me though!! Started to head home back to Derby... Got a mile from home and ended up back in the Derbyshire countryside having fun again.... After more fun headed back to Derby but decided to stop in at my local Bike School. Got myself some details about Bike Plus.... Gonna do it soon. Two people (A couple) had done there's that day and said it was great. The guy at the school offered me a coffee so stood and chatted to them for a while.... After that shot through Derby city centre where I came across some shockingly bad drivers!!! Not road rage, just really really bad driving!!! Have to say though my riding today was about as smooth as sandpaper.... Awful at times...

Piccie easy for stevie to understand!! Bloody hell, she is in big trouble.... Did you give the other driver your contact details? If you can turn round and say you informed her she had hit another vehicle and that leaving the scene was illegal, she ain't got a leg to stand on!!

On a hunch, I will add these people as well Philgale Korben Vicky + 2 Techno Slugworth1987 Bex - ? yorbandit and lad Dan + TheWife Jive nman1 Taz mojobanana Tc Akey and Willow +2

Nice one mate... Should be able to find you... I assume you won't have your niece on your shoulders next week?

Bit difficult for the average joe.... You will find (Normally in the small print) if a visor is road legal or not... If not sure ask the dealer.
