    Sorry for the site being down guys! Yes the site is now two years old, and the domain had expired. It was setup to automatically renew but my card details had changed and rather than nominet just send an email explaining that the card number was no longer valid they just swithed off the domain... nice hey! Anyway all back up and running and should be stress free for me for a few more weeks until IPB2.2 arrives!

    ...today. Not as warm Pete in Spain perhaps but some nice blue sky and sunshine and cracking scenery. The original pictures I had in mind didn't work out as the hills were a bit too haze shrouded so after a round-a-bout trip I ended up here, near to where I work a lot. The hill opposite is where I went next, top right hand side you can make out Loch Ness. Then across to the other side of the Glen for a better view of Loch Ness. Then back down to the main road and along the side of Loch Ness to a hotel, and guess who had waded ashore? Didn't look too impressed by the Divvy though! Probably not too many days like this le…

    Great little run today on the XT! Temperatures have dropped dramatically down to the mid 20's....so it's warm off the bike and cool on it. Unlike July and August when it was regularly 40 and above, and riding just wasn't an option. I went up the Sierra de Segura mountains on the Santiago road again....where you have 25 miles of hairpin bends on narrow roads, with road surfaces so bad it looks like they've been hit by Allied bombers in places! This is not a road for self-professed internet riding gods! This is real life and you're playing for keeps. :lg: You don't get a smooth racetrack surface with good visibility....in fact on some bends, vision is red…

    About 4 weeks or so ago now me and the misses went for a much earned break in the Lakes (Keswick to be exact). Monday morning I was woken by the phone going off... bloody great news, new job just came through. To celebrate... we took a ride out to Windemere. Weather was great, not a cloud in the sky... perfect Almost at the lake with the misses on the back we noticed that someone needed to cross on the zebra crossing so we stopped to let her over... however the elderly lady behind us had other ideas A quick THUD and I was off down the road at a rate of knotts and the misses went skywards and landed back on top of the bike... great! Police, ambulance, fire brigad…

    My friend drives a Toyota Supra that just recently did the quarter mile in 13 seconds. Can my 1989 yamaha radian 600cc beat that? Would it be close? Anyone know what a 1989 radian can do on the quarter mile? Any quick tweaks I can do before the race to give me that extra edge?

  18. Hi Guys, I'm actually from US and registered here on the forums to get some advice and help. I recently just bought an 06 r6 blue and have been in love with the white/red color combo. Now I want to convert my bike into that color combo. Do you think it'll be cheaper for a paint body shop to replica such a color or would it be smart of me to just buy all the parts from UK. If anyone is selling please advice. I would really appreciate the help and info. Thanks Oz
