Strange, technically, they could have still towed you out... But I'd have loved wheeling my bike through the office! lol

Errrm... TWO motorbikes actually. But we sold the brand new XSR125, our lass decided she was happier on the back than in control!

Are Facebook Raffle Sites a scam? Well, there's quite a few of them around these days, and I don't doubt some of them are scams, but not all! The one I want to talk about is https://www.revcomps.com/. I know this isn't a scam because I've won on it (quite a few times actually!), including a first Gen Hayabusa! For those of you in the UK, check them out. And if you throw any tickets on, maybe you'd tag my reference code "https://revcomps.com/?ref=33003" It works for me whether it's your first ticket or 100th. Using it gets both of us in special raffles where we could both win something.~ Anyway, check them out guys, and post if you have any questions! Gamble Safely..!

Well, that sucks! I've gotta say, I love the Michelin Road 6's, I have them on all my bikes.

Woo!

It can't be any worse than last year! lol

I'm concerned that I understood that...

Happy Humbug!

You could always say you deliberately dropped to the left side in case the car behind you didn't stop in time! 😉

Relaxing...

So far, everything seems good and runs very quickly! It's very plain & black though! However, it may be a bit boring at the moment, but my eyes REALLY like it! Relaxing... lol

Yup! And I couldn't find my contact details for Alex this time... :( lol

Yup, Wakefield...

Oh, I've done a LOT of miles on my Ace... Not only did I ride year round in all weathers just for shits & giggles, it was my daily driver for commuting too! I can't be far away from another gapping! lol But this time, I think I might give it a go myself. I'm trying to work out if I can afford a new garage / man cave, if so, I'm going to strip it down completely and do a full refurb. Aaah, I have a stainless exhaust system, exups aren't a worry for me! lol.

The really big cost I had with my Ace was having my valves gapped... 5 bucket type valves per cylinder, the price mounts. But it was well worth it performance wise. And I was spending an upsetting amount on chains & sprockets (three chains in the first two years! (I like my acceleration! lol)) But I solved that one by uprating my chain to a bigger size and haven't changed it in the last four years now. I've spent a mild amount of money putting things back to how they should be from strange upgrades from past owners. Right now, my concern is my radiator, it's rotting in the bottom corner and I've got reduced cooling. Finding a decent 2nd hand one is proving to be difficult currently, and a custom replacement is NOT going to be cheap. I'm looking around to see if anyone can re-core mine, but not everyone does curved radiators... P.S. Front tyres! For some reason, I go through front tyres more than back tyres..? I put it down to not doing burnouts & such, but taking every opportunity to get my knee down (not really, I'm a little creaky for that but getting it well leant over). My front often vaguely resembles the old V shaped racing tyres by the time I've finished with them! lol
