Just a troll like question - do any of you people use your motorcycles 
I'm 3 months into daily commuting on a 125 - and I quite like it really.
The only time I've got the pegs down is when I dropped it during cleaning
, and the scariest moment was when I met a car coming the wrong way up the dual carriage way towards me (what is it with L plates - they seem to be looney magnets 
).

In my current contract I work different hours each day so I can only use the bike for a couple of days each week
I use the KL250 most weekends but only use the R1 enough to keep it running until next spring.

uk journeys only started in dry weather only.
did use a CBR600 for commuting, but reverted to other transport in the end.

Shame really. I thought Ellison was going to do well this year after the "Official Test" in Barcelona. I guess we'll have to wait for Bradley Smith to work his way up. I can't see Haslam getting a good ride in GP.

He will be the first guy we have had for sometime who has worked his way up through the formulas on the premier circuit . Lets hope he does it and gets the right ride.
As for Haslam , i dont see him stepping into world class tbh , he has been into the premiere class before and got seriously burnt , along with Walker , I will be surprised if he is ready for a repeat
