on your own or with a friend/group? i have always prefered to ride on my own, the only person i feel comfortable riding any distance with is my dad, if i ride with a mate it just gets daft :roll: it also attracts alot of attention if yer riding fast, people think you're racing even if ya aint. i find in groups people think they need to ride faster than they actually do and it pushes people into riding beyond their capabilities. not a good idea esp if there is an inexperienced rider amongst the group! i think it is really irresponsible of the other rider if they push it knowing there is someone of lesser experience there. ride on your own, you get to learn at your own pac…

off to scotchland tomorrow...1st off Moffat for a quick round, then upto the lovely west coast for a couple of rounds at Troon :wink: and plenty of infiltrating will be had for :wink: so lock up ya daughters 8)

Right what would you lot do in a situation like this, you share a lock up with a "mate" who decides after 5 years yes 5 !!!! that he wants rent :evil: :?. But thats not it. his borthers bike's in there too (and has been for over 2 years), now I sad to him this afternoon about the rent, I also said "it'd need to be slit 3 ways, since we all have keys". He then said "I cant take money off my brother, he helped over the years", I didn't say anything there n then. But he seems forget (yea right) about the time I gave a loan of my bike for week to start his new job!! (been there 4 years now). Or he wouldn't have his fuckin' 12 bandit :evil: And the bike he's g…

Ok so I was planning to go to Brands at the weekend but I just got notification that my racing hound qualified for the championship on Sunday! What do I do now? It's a great achievement for him and I am very proud but the chances of him winning are a million to one! I suppose I can always video the racing. What would you guys do?

I got back from Donnington late last night and I am off to Brands Friday anyone else going?

im riding an R type bike (no grab rails u gotta hold onto the tank) and its achully bloody hard to hold onto the tank, is there no like 'tank handles' or anything which can be attached so that the pillion can achully hold someone, as i do not trust pillions to hold on tight enough tbh

me an the old man have been out from 12 till 5.30 on the bikes today, covered a good couple hundred miles 8) tell you what, the xj aint so comfy after a while, i'm sore in places i never knew i had :shock: apart from that it's a bloody cracking bike 8) loadsa bikes on the roads today, all very friendly, waving etc... things are deffinately looking up round here as far as bikes/attitudes are concerned. anyone else out for a sunday run today?

Tried it yesterday for the first time on the way back from Bristol. And I tell you what....I'm VERY impressed. Bike seemed quicker on pickup and even idled smoother. I'll use it at every opportunity from now on, but unfortunately there's no Shell stations in this area, so I can't use it on a regular basis. Have you tried it?

well just been and treated myself to a long over due new jacket, it's black and made by frank thomas(force 10 is the model i think) 8) seems a real good quality bit of kit too. it came in at £129 so should be well put together, i had seen flasher looking ones but tbh the ft suits my style better. any others use this brand? looks like my leather jacket will be getting a break now, good job really, the zips were starting to get rusty :shock: :roll:

Hi Guys, I've been trying to get some bike insurance quotes all day and was wondering how should be paying? I tried Norwich Union at for for a quote on a 2003 Yamaha R6 and it came out with £3000 TPF&T!!!! WTF!!!! :shock: I came across Insurance2000, which I found on the back of Ride Magazine and gave it a go with the following bikes (All are TPF&F quotes): 2003-2004 Yamaha R6 = £761.00 per annual 2004 Honda CBR600RR = £761.00 per annual 2004 Suzuki GSXR600 = £680.00 per annual 2004 Honda CBR125R = £450.00 per annual What do you think? Are these good prices??

PINK OR BROWN??

What's Yours? Mine: 1974 Norwich to London. I had a Triumph Tiger 650 (Bonny with a single carb). I had been up to see a mate and hooked up with another rider on a Norton 750 Commando, who I got talking to - as you do. Two Brit twins thundering down the A11 on a beautiful summer day. I can remember it as if it was yesterday. I've done 10s of thousands of miles all over the UK mainly and some in Europe and enjoyed them all, but this ride was pure biking heaven.

hi all i have a fs1e(fizzy) it is a 1988 model can this be classic insurance??? plz help thx

I will be styling and profiling through Rhayader, Llanidloes, Machynlleth, Borth, Aberystwyth, Devils Bridge, and back via Elan Valley Lakes mountain road! 8) And XT Alan....I should be in Devil's Bridge cafe about 2pm.

i dont know if anyone else has heard but i've just received an email from the Auf Pet site...(big fan you see been a geordie and that) it appears Pat Roach has unfortunately passed away after 3 hard years of trying to fight the Big C. My respects go out to all concerned and out of respect i'm gonna do an Auf Pet watch-a-thon tonight..and watch all 4 series :cry: .

Hi, Kenny Roberts showed his class once again in final qualifying for the German GP. It is possible that he is the only rider out there who could actually go head to head with Rossi. I know the Americans like him, but I cannot see what all the fuss is about re: Nicky Hayden. Another interesting point, I think: These races are finally proving how much better Moto GP riders are compared to WSB. Only Xaus seems to have any real natural speed and he's a crasher. Bayliss is too ragged. Hodgson is just average. Edwards is being outclassed. All this begs the question: Just how good was Foggy really? In my opinion he just happened to be better than Corser and Chili, but any of…
