  1. Just sat down with a beer reflecting on a very narrow escape whilst out for a ride earlier. Turned left off the main road into a housing estate rat run with a 40mph speed limit to be confronted after about a 100 yards with a car popping out from behind a parked car on my side of the road accelerating towards me on the wrong side of the road at a closing speed of 80mph. The driver couldn't seem to grasp that there were 2 motorbikes heading straight at them. My quandary was do I swerve onto the wrong side of the road or will the driver eventually realise they were on the wrong side of the road and swerve back onto the correct carriageway. The driver clearly didn't understand my rather robust Anglo Saxon ideium but I think they got the point even if English wasn't their first language. Quite frankly I feel lucky that Carole and I are unscathed. Also fairly glad I'd done my ablutions earlier in the day, all my underpants are currently in the wash. Andy

  2. Spent the afternoon removing the rear parking sensors and giving them a good clean as they had stopped working then I remembered the switch next to the steering column that didn’t do anything when you pressed it ........

  4. Finally got
    To demo the v4s today from my local dealer. Spent a good couple
    Of hours putting it through its paces and can honestly say I felt a bit cheated.
    Quickshift was gash
    Didn’t really enjoy it. Engine sounds sweet but the build quality was like a shitty Asian suv.
    I’m now lost as I had told myself how good it would be.
    My f4 puts more smiles per miles on my face.
    Bring back the L twin please for the mainstream bikes

  5. I had a good loom today. What's in the red box above the rear wheel? Is it for the battery or part of the fuel tank?

    Also, the shit plastic over the fairing, under it appears perfectly good frame so why hide under shite plastic???
     
  6. Lol
     
  7. Fuel
    Tank
    Is under seat yeah.
    The plastics are shite! Utter shite!
    Riding position is just like riding

  8. At least you can hand them back at the end of the day. Bouncing off the ceiling full of full fat coke, Skittles and Haribos. :imp::imp::imp:. Whilst I don't want to wish my life away I can't wait until my daughters have kids and I can get my own back.... he he he.
