Glad you're pleased - did you speak to Sean there?

We'll have to meet up and go out for a blast soon. . . .

Just read that on PH Hope you make a quick killing on the stock market so you can buy another. If the insurance quotes look bad, perhaps consider an F like mine or perhaps a non-sports bike?

I did indeed. It was him I did the purchasing with. Seemed like a nice bloke, but don't they all when they are selling you stuff

Let me know when you want to meet up for a blat. Do you not fancy Brands Gp on the 9th?

gutted. i took a dry bvmming on my shares today too, just to rub salt in.
waiting to hear from insurers what they want to do. i want to rip a chav in two and paint an angry picture with his blood. but i'll probably just have a pint.

Unlucky Hope you don't have too much hassle with the insurers and you get sorted. Hope this hasn't put you off bikes too much.

Have any of you bikers owned an early CBR900RR with the 16" front wheel. Just purchased a little track project but there's lots of debate over what front tyre to run to keep exact rolling radius ect. Just wondered if anyone had any personal experience of what does and doesnt work.

I do fancy it, but with Cadwell the week before I'm struggling to see how I can sneak that one in without my accountant noticing

Probaboly not get a chance this week, then I'm on hols for a week and a bit - so not until July by the looks of it.

I know someone with one of these. I'll try and get their opinion for you.

Sorry, I've been busy at work and also on holiday - a poor showing on my part though. I'll try and sort something out over the Summer months, when Philip is back from his annual jaunt and I'm back in the UK (for the next few weeks I'm mostly in Athens)
I'm back - see my taster thread. All pass reports now done. Now we just have to sort the photos and write the reports of each day's ride.
