Re: Pension stuff, how's it all looking ? HAve you prepared ?

Funnily enough just been talking about this with my missus (an IFA) - we have 2 properties and how the changes may affect us going forward. Whatever way, pants get pulled down! Can't disagree.. Puzzled that she didn't approach it form the other end, so to speak, and limit the relief on contribution...

So .... the Budget... bastard move on the IHT situation, eh?

What do you guys at the sharp end think of Ms Reeves' changes?

Re: Is Racing Getting Too Expensive?

Just been chatting to a racing pal. He's doing the BMW 900 BSB support class. He told me the costs and was shocking. None of the sponsors money goes to the riders. For some reason they're forced to use race fuel at £4 a litre. And must buy tyres from designated seller who has huge mark up. Needs 4 ...

Damn selfish if you ask me. Never done keeping your followers waiting. It's the same old story. Once the wins and the ensuing fan adulation arrives,they forget their old pals. :( As we all know, Tricky is not one to skimp on the accounts and pictures of his various two-wheeled exploits so I believe...

Never sat on one yet... Think it'll be added to the list of potentials for next year's fun n games. That'll be about "9" now. 😁👍 I've not sat on either of them, Paul...however, I can't see it being any more comfortable/ergonomically suitable than the Triumph or MV which you kicked into to...

Re: Unsuitable for old folk.........

It had some stuck on wide angle mirrors that I thought were terrible until I took them off and it somehow got worse. The standard mirrors were terrible for me. Yeah, they're worse than useless. I've had a play with them and can't get much improvement. Bar ends aren't an option really imo. I think I...

Re: Unsuitable for old folk.........

Nice dry day here in semi-rural Hampshire so I checked the tyre pressures and filled the new steed with 15 litres of Esso's finest and have just got back from a 35/40 mile shakedown first ride. Roads were still wet in places but not a lot of leaves on the ground so all was good :thumbup: Well, despi...

Wow......you don't make life easy for yourself, eh, Rich. Plenty to do and four or five weeks less to do it in :crazy: , but I'm sure you will, as long as the painters/powder coaters/wrappers do their bit. As for the MiniTwin idea, Bemsee has a good spread on the grid there but you'll definitely com...

Re: Unsuitable for old folk.........

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I know it won't be the most comfortable ride but I'm looking forward to my first trip out. If the weather dries up and the roads are salt-free it would be nice to get out before Xmas. There's a possibility I may have a trip to the south coast just after Xmas which w...

So, I am nearly 64 years young and, today, I am the proud owner of an early noughties Italian superbike. I've been watching this beauty from afar, ever since dern bought it. When the old girl came up for sale I was tempted to strike up a relationship. Weeks passed and it seemed that the RTTL massive...
