Well China sure is a busy place! I think everyone must be called Wayne as thats all i can understand. Not too sure what are more dangerous the cyclists or the pedastrians. No wonder there was no shortage of kamikaze pilots! We had proper chinese food yesterday which was quite nice surprisingly, we also had 2 quart bottles of beer and the whole lot came to under a £5 with tip, mind you this was a nice restaurant but would definatly be shut down if in england.

Well i must be the only person in the UK who is not out on their bike! Unfortunatly for me my bike has no front wheel on at the moment, and no front disks either. And not being able to wheelie that well dont think its a good idea to try riding with just the back wheel, mind you have seen it done. A nice warm dry day for a change and im stuck indoors

Anyway going quite fast round twisty country roads here in North Devon, I found that a couple of times when going too fast into a corner ( judged it wrong --let's be honest ) trying to lean over more and grabbing a large handful of front brake, the bike suddenly tried to go straight on, and tried to come upright. I was really lucky on a left hand hairpin (VERY tight), when I realised I was too hot into it, braked hard, and the bike stopped turning and carried straight on over to the outside lane....if anything was coming the other way I'd be "daid a…

Hi, I've found a brand new Yamaha TZR 50, the cheapest insurance was off a motorbike comparison website. I was quoted £350 third party fire and theft and I wondered if anyone knew where I could get it any cheaper? Any help would be appreciated.
