7 grand on a car …are you mad ..you could buy a bike for that…. 😆

new shape Focus is not as good as the older Focus.
Vw hold their money better.

Civic wins every time 😀

98 Malvern Classic…..lol
I remember them..was that the year Peaty came down on the dinky kids 50 motorbike.

and what ever happened to ‘Massive Matt Farmer’

Looks nice.
Whats the rear tyre clearance like ??

I think I will give it a miss this time I’ve just been told I will be decorating my daughters bedroom tomorrow.

Also been a bit Cleeved out of late after having a couple of holidays in Pethybridge of recently .
Enjoy the ride though .

Whats the forecast for tomorrow ..?

I’ve just bought a Lumix TZ8.

very impressed.

oldgrump08.

Sadly it had to go to make way for the Aprilia.

I sounded like a chinook(spelling) with those pipes on.

In contrast this is what I chopped it in for
😯

A triple trumpet soul less??? Stick a decent can on and wind it it up and see how soul less they are!!!

The sound was great . But the power delivery seemed to electric motor-ish.

Imo 😉

Damn you Bream …..NOW I WANT ONE ….. 👿

I think I’ll keep mine and …..Live on the edge….. 😛

955 is a slightly better engine.
Keep an eye out for the rear shock and linkage bearings as its a common problem.

As said very smooth motor (I had the speed triple)and does everything you would want.

I did get rid of mine though as it was almost honda like in the way it just does everything well…….but kind of soul less. 😐

I now have an Aprilia Rsvs-r which has far more soul than I can handle at the moment… 😆

11/23 Is fine for most things 11/25 or 11/27 if its hilly
But it depends on your legs.

I am size 10 and wearing a 46
I tried the size down and they felt too tight.

Assos = prevention
Sudocrem = cure

Bet he would have been faster on a 29er ……….

Personally sad though it may seem I think the Grand Tours were more exiting to watch when they were all doped up.

they seem to be a bit boring now. 😐

bloody ell
good job they didn’t have the Sultan in Medium or I would be in trouble 😯

In the ‘Armstrong’ years how many contenders DIDN’T dope…

Thanks all will mail ‘sponging machine’

or *whispers* take road bike 😯

Sod that …..
Matt can you not just summarize… 😉

so….do you think with Danny out for a while another rider may ride his bike for a bit …maybe a Honda rider…?……maybe thats not riding for the FULL factory team..????

just saying like 😉

sorry for the ‘Hijack’
but I have just gone 1×10 no chainsuck but when in top gear ie 11 sprocket it keeps jumping and rolling over the sprocket..??
