  1. This is mine. You know you love your bike just a little too much when you drop over £200 on this :eek::eek:. Well I actually only paid £25 for it as my local dealer owed me some money for some parts that I paid for when I ordered the bike, that they weren't able to supply, but still :eek::eek::eek:

  3. Tax disc. You buy it for your bike because you love but you get nothing from it. Roads are still congested and full of holes while to add pinch of salt to it some do not need to pay for it and can still go on roads and brake law.

  5. mine would come under increasingly obsessional 'just in case it breaks items'. On a plus side, the option of building a spare bike starts to become a possibility.

  6. Dunno about superfluous, but I popped into Hein Gericke to buy a sunstrip for my lid and came out with a new lid and jacket. How the hell did that happen..?:eek:

  15. Hmm. I'd have to admit to owning more than my fair share of Dainese leathers.

    But there seemed to be a very good reason at the time for each purchase. Still, I do use them all. Rings the changes.
    Haven't succumbed recently (have run out of excuses).

I look a prize dick but at the age of 41 I dont give a shit. Thank god I have a tinted visor so no one knows its me. Im sick of kids asking for my autograph cause they think Im a f**king power ranger
