...are great but GSXR750's rock.
Finally sold my GSX600F. Now where did I put that pink paint?

Got home from work and fitted the new (to me) Akrapovic system and
it's a bit f.cking loud. It's also blowing from one of the headers
which is a pita because I'll have to slacken everything off and put
some sealant on them in the morning unless it sorts itself out after a

First of all, don't ride a motorcyle for ages.
Then go out wearing f.ck all, but most importantly without earplugs.
Weeep, weeep, weeep up through the cogs, must be doing at least 120mph.
Look down and it's 80.

If you had a pair of plates stolen off your car, would it be recommended
to apply to the DVLA for a new number? [1]
Or would you just inform the police and reply to any future NIPs with
the crime reference number?

No, I hadn't talked to Wik about this despite Adie giving me some

Doing the clutch on the Pan, and I am *really* struggling with the
gasket on the clutch cover.
I've got it off the crankcase, but the residue on the cover is a
*bastard*. It's rock hard, and stuck like the proverbial to a blanket.

Many years ago I had the misfortune to have a fairly new chain snap at <eek>

In part this has directed me to shaft drive. A couple of years back I got
the F650 and at a later stage replaced the chain for a nice new DID O ring

...Apple Snail.
My son has a fish tank with 3 goldfish and three applesnails.
Obviously we're doing something right because there is a baby snail in
the tank and a couple more clutches of eggs on the lid.

Do you know if there's any cage parking by the Corn Exchange?

Due to a move tomorrow, I will and shall not be posting for a while. Play
nicely and DFC.

In case you missed it, there's a party a Chez Veg on the 21st July.
Oodles of camping space, a fair amount of floor space and quite a few
B&Bs within a few minutes taxi ride.
Also, this year there's going to be a dance area outside so I need all

was on the road at 6:30am-ish
2 miles from my house there's a car stopped in the middle of the road.
I drive round him to see why, and note that the road is flooded.  But,
