It's a cold bath.

Cage for me all the way now. Specially since I am trying to sell my bike and cage to buy a newer cage .

Zuky had her one and only slide down the tarmac and she didn't like it so she told me to put her in the garage and tuck her up. Honest she talks to me LOL

Brrrr, no way.

I think I'd have to think again before committing suicide if it ment getting into a cold bath?!

I mean.. It'd be cold!


I had 3 wobbles on way to work tonight, I blame the grit. the roads are not particually damp, nor is it particually cold.

Quite - if I'm topping myself, I'm at least going to be comfortable while I'm at it!

Good shout out Daz.

Some parts of my commute are like a skid pan, I must look a right tw@ hanging off at 20 mph so I dont stack the damn thing into a bus shelter full of miserable looking folk.

bit scared of riding with a new front tyre this weekend, I hope sunday is dry, even if its only for a bit, so I can get some scrubbing in done.

Had a spin-up on a manhole cover or something when pulling out of a junction today, real nicky hayden stuff

I've got the same problem - brand new rear tyre, no real opportunity to get any heat in it to scrub it in. I don't think nailing it hard in first down the Kennington Road is really going to do the job.

Why not drive the Ka off a cliff or into something solid... that way you kill 2 birds with one stone.

Ay twas quite slippery today, but fun. Mine spins up in 1,2,3 & 4 before I realise Im being silly and back off. Noboby around as I use some very very quiet roads to commute. Its great in the summer. I have a van from Dec 1st until mid January so will clean the bike and put it away until next year after this weekend.

Driving a Ka is not a comfortable experience.

No but you'd be doing a good deed getting it off the road, and surely some measure of satisfaction knowing that that particular box would never drive anyone else to suicide.
