Country lane my arse!!!

Check!
Right up to the pegs, which was my first time through a flood on a bike.
Just wish the cop who drove past me 300 meters up the road was polite enough to warn me about the flooded road around the corner.

Ran the bike on the low fuel light for about 10 miles today and then filled up expecting to put a lot in, but only squeezed in 19 litres.
Which suggests 3 litres left which given i had ridden 275 miles meant i had another 50 odd miles which means i was getting well over 300 miles to a tank.
Is the fuel gauge that inaccurate?
What do you think?

I can't wheelie, i admire people who can. BUT i believe there is a time and a place, certainly not past a speed camera van, I mean how stupid can you get?

I'm not an extreme poster but you may of noticed i had gone quiet for a while.
Well the reason was because of moving AND the complete and utter uselessness that is Virgin Media's moving team.
It all started ok, i phoned the team to tell them i was moving "no problem sir would you like to keep your land line number"
"Yes please"
"ok i'll arrange everything and even call BT about the line rental" Sorted says i.
Well no.
I won't bore you with the in and outs, but 8 different individuels, 3 unanswered phone message left on there system, an incalculable amount of broken promises and lies, several hours spent calling them, 2 different dates for connection, one official complaint (which turned out not be true just notes on the system one of the lies), lots of we will email you the details hello i don't have internet that what i'm trying to connect, a new number despite me requesting the old one in the first place,  one soon to be written complaint letter to the CEO and Chairman and OFCOM, later i am now back on line.
Virgin are good unless you want to move.
SO hello, whats been going on?


Love Nick

Trusty Fazer usage

Telegraph Sport exclusive - usual reason why plus Burgess is retiring due to personal reasons.

So Hayden has put the GP12 onto third position for the race today, admitedly 1.0 sec off pole, and Rossi is the last prototype bike in 13th position, 3.5 seconds behind.
And i got slagged off for saying its not the bike its the rider, now i feel vindicated.
Don't get me wrong i am a fan of Rossi, but even Parrish is quoted in this months fast bikes as saying he is not the rider he once was.


Agruments start now.....

Everyones a comedian nowadays.
Even the paramedic who was unable to resuscitate Whitney couldn't avoid the odd gag when he radioed dispatch and said...
"It's Houston, we have a problem".
 

Haven't used the bike for a couple of weeks started up fine on sunday didn't rev well until the stale fuel had been used, used it a couple of hours later no problems.
Started up today, no choke fired first time but backfired for the first time i've had, a couple of years now.
Is this nothing to worry about or the precurser to something else? Never had a problem before.
02 model.
cheers
