Has any else bought the latest book by Neil Spalding on MotoGP Technology 3rd Edition? I had a knee replacement operation 3 weeks ago, off work and cannot Ride or Drive.  I bought this book and it arrived 3 days after I came out of hospital and can say it has kept me sane for the past 2 weeks. Without doubt one of the most interesting books I would say I have ever read. I usually speed read, but this I have read word for word and definitely the best 40 notes I have ever spent.  If you have any interest in the MOTGP it is definitely a book worth reading.  My problem now is what the foc am I going to do when I finish it this evening After 3 days of Daytime TV, between ads for Over fifty Life Insurance, funeral insurance , leave something in your will to some crowd, elderly go karts, save the tiger, the snow leopard the dog, the elephant, cats and every other foccing thing you could think of, Jermy Kyle and Doctors  I couldn't hack it any longer. Thankfully I am getting a bit more mobile and can head back to the garage to finish fixing my Serow this weekend.  Back the the original reason for the post if you do have an interest in MotoGP the book is worth buying and if you can get it for less then 40 notes all the better Roll on the next month to be back biking

Out of curiosity, any one out there like me, who never uses a GPS when going on Holidays by bike. Definitely think the GPS takes all the fun out of going on holidays by bike,  Taking the wrong route and finding out it is far better than the one a GPS would have taken you.  Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction only to have the fellow you are trying to speak to is stone deaf  Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction from a couple in a car and discover they are totally naked :  Nearly missing the ferry because you took a wrong turn  The fun in the high speed ride to get back on the right route and making the ferry by 5 minutes.  Going through Belgium for the first time and discovering they have the worst road signage in Europe.  Trying to find your way out of Mons in Belgium when both routes to the motorway are completely blocked by overturned trucks.  Discovering the sign for Paris in Belgium is also the road to Masstricht which is in the opposite direction. Watching a fellow with a GPS getting into a total panic in Southern Spain because the GPS battery went flat I think I will stick with the ould general area map, my €50 phone and my €80 Tablet with maps downloaded to it; way more fun and a lot cheaper than the GPS.

Back on the air again, 5 days after that bitch Ophelia  hit, we have seen the light Power went out at 11am Monday when 2 hours of sustained 110KPH (70MPH) winds took out the main 10Kv line supplying the whole valley south of Cork Airport. After much fault chasing by the Electrical supply linesmen and 7 faults later they finally fixed the last fault that had our power out. Still hundreds of homes east of us still without power. Glad I wired the house for a generator 4 years ago now, at least I had light and water and the freezer was maintained to save all the food in it.. The unfortunate side of living in the country is that the lovely pure clean water we have, comes straight out of the ground 35 metres (110feet) down and the 1 KW submersible pump was pushing the 3KVA generator hard on start up. Must buy a bigger avr equipped generator with to allow us use the other bits we would like to have working like heat and Internet

Sad to see one of the True Heroes Racing Team, Mark Fincham lose his life yesterday at Thruxton.
A tough blow to a group who are so involved in the rehab of soldiers with life changing injuries from war, restoring a sense of direction and focus to them when they were entering the dark days after their medical rehab had finished.
RIP Mark and thoughts to his family, he died doing what he enjoyed.
My thoughts also go to his teammate who was involved in the same incident, but not injured.

Out of curiosity, are there many owners like me on the forum who bought their Fazer new and still have it. I bought my 600 new in November 2003 for €7250 with 1 mile on the clock and still have it now 87312 miles later. Going through its history the other evening: it is on its 24th rear tyre 18th front tyre, 3rd chain, 3rd rear sprocket, 10th front sprocket, 4th gear shift rubbers (needs changing), 2rd set of footrest rubbers, 7th set of front brake pads, 4th set of rear brake pads, 11th oil filter, 2nd set of downpipes (original being on for 70,000 miles) and 2nd set headlight bulbs (Changed originals for Osram Night Brakers and use the originals as spares when touring) and 2nd clutch cable, 2nd set of brake hoses, 2nd set of discs, 2nd set of front wheel bearings and 2nd set of rear wheel bearings, 2nd fork springs, 3rd rear shock (original changed at 20000 miles and replacement Hagon shock returned to Hagon last year at around the 83000 mile mark (It started leaking) and they replaced it completely for half the price of a new one. Only real extras were Yamaha Engine Bars, Progressive Fork Springs, Hagon rear shock, Meta357t-V2 alarm, Scotoiler with touring kit behind number plate, Tank cover, Tank bag and complete Non Fango Touring kit. It is still as enjoyable to ride as the day I bought it and very clean for the mileage, thanks to AutoGlym and WD40

Anyone else get this scam email which is trying to get your paypal login to do a little buying on your behalf or more Looks very authentic, but the paypal site login address in the email is not all it appears because the hidden address behind it is the real address www.sisel.co.in/signin and clicking the link will take you to a very good copy of the paypal login. Hovering the mouse finger pointer over the signin link in the email and you will see the real address behind it www.sisel.co.in/signinUsing a clever bit html coding it is easy to make the real link appear as something else. Attached is a copy of the email I received again. If you see something like this in your inbox it is best deleted.

Was doing a clear out yesterday and came across this in an old Bike Magazine.
Out of curiosity I went through it and answered all questions as honestly as possible and scored 36. Well it appears I am not a total nutter on a bike
Any one else care to try it, just to see how daft you really are

Anyone else have a problem with notification when you post or reply to a topic even though it is set to on in the profile and slow loading of the site?  Just realised, I have missed many replies to topics because I am not getting notifications. Site has been very slow to load with a while. Thought it was a DNS issue but changed the DNS to a few dfferent ones, but no change in the finding and loading times.

Went in to the Side attic of my dormer to get the Christmas decoration a few days ago and saw this. Oh Crap! Air went blue while I was in there. The local building maintenance man tells me the wind dislodged the ridge tiles and will cost €2500 to €3000 to fix as long as the roof timbers are ok. Would not tell me what it would cost if the roof timbers are Focced. Foc, Foc, Foc Hope my insurance covers it Foc, foc, foc and double Foc  Insurance assessor to contact me next week.

RIP John, what a sad day for the famous Road Racing Traveling Doctor who attended every road race in Ireland and TT. He died today after a crash at Skerries Road race practice yesterday.  My condolences to his family and Friends. Anyone who ever attended a road race will know him and many racers are alive today because of him http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/tt-road-races/2015/july/doctor-john-hinds-has-died/
