We'll do Day of Champions again i think but we don't live far away. IOM TT is well worth it but it's getting popular now. If you want ferry tickets and accomodation for 2026 you need to book it almost immediately after the 2025TT.

Hotels are a nightmare to get, homestay is worth it - campsites are a no for me, the IOM is notorious for shite weather.

Booked 3 days at MotoGP Silverstone beginning of August. Hopefully good weather.

I'm usually a hotel type of arsehole but they do pre-pitched tents at Silverstone. £249 for 3 days is not bad for two of us in 2 man tent.. £115 for 3 days is not too much for the tickets either. Fuel from Edinburgh is what it is. Although tempted to upgrade from General admission. Not sure where's best. I fancy being in the main grandstand.

Should be a good party in the evening. The Kooks are playing and I'm going to invest in a portable fridge. There is power on site.

Anyway very excited. I don't get away overnight very often.

Anyone recommend viewing areas? I was thinking Stowe corner.

So since Scotland got put out I've been routing for Engerland. Watching the final, too much stress. So I have turned the TV off after Spain scored. I will check the result in 45 mins.

I doubt it will be coming home hope I'm wrong.

Not to worry have bike.

On another note my mate ith a Tiger 1200 decided that doing an offroad course was a good idea. Bent handlebars and a sore leg later he came to the conclusion that a tarted up attempt at an adventure bike doesn't hit the mark offroad. Would be better with a CRF I said. He now agrees. Laughing

EDIT, Shame for England. Gareth has had his turn. Need a boss with a more attacking philosophy.

Why ,in general, do bikers not give a monkeys about football?

Great weekend at Silverstone, first time at motoGP. Great that Jake Dixon won the moto2. Pity we don't have any riders in motoGP. Spent more money than I can afford.

It was a great weekend until the car engine blew on the way home lol. Had to get a taxi from Weatherby to East Lothian, thankfully I wasn't paying for it.

I will likely go to the Formula 1 next year. That would be a good weekend.

It had just been serviced before I went. Weird the engine failing like that. No idea what's up but pools of oil under the car makes it not look good.

Not to worry have motorbike

Shameless plug.

Honda CBR 600 F2
1 year MOT.
Reg. K282KNU if you want to check MOT history.
New battery
Complete fuel system checked, carbs cleaned, fuel system flushed. New Inlet manifold rubbers, Vacuum pipe and fuel filter. Fluids checked.
It is in good condition, not mint. No dents on the tank, no broken fairings.
Bad things, wheels could do with being refurbed, they look like been kerbed somehow, and some of the fittings could use a wirebrush and a clean. Not much wrong with it really.

£1650

I know I'm not normal but can't help myself. Going to sell my Rebel 500 as well as the cbr 600. Had it nearly a year, a long time for me. I like the bike but is very unstable at slow speeds in traffic, pain in the arse putting my feet down at 3mph. Very underpowered really. Scrape the pegs too much which gives me the shits, it's got a brown seat and it's basically an A2 first big bike kind of bike. I bought it because I liked the look of it at the time. Now not so much

2023, 1200 miles only, very small dent in tank when it literally blew over, fuck not happy. But it is what it is.

Fairly priced at £4100. Due to fucking dent in tank and the need to immediately cut down my monthly outgoings.

Another shameless plug

Still in love with the Street Triple though. Excited about getting it dusted and out of the garage.

It'll be weird only having only one bike. At least I'm not so stressed due to 6 bikes not getting used and feeling bad for not riding them.

Honda Rebel RIP

Not yet it's been sitting in the garage for quite a while. I'll get it serviced and sorted. From what I can gather the stator or rectifier could be faulty. Will get my trusted mechanic to fix it. Took me years to find a proper mechanic. Stinkwheel was too busy.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can only change form.

So what happens when someone gets cremated. Does the body's dead mass energy turn into heat energy?

What about the charcoals that are left, well they must be energy as well?

So when a person dies where does the energy go from the electro-chemical body's brain and nervous system.

I find it hard to get my head round conservation of energy. Basically everything is a form of energy.

What happens with conservation of energy when I can't be arsed getting out of bed in the morning?

Wish folk would agree to a face chat so I can show them my bikes live. Why don't people tend to do this. Just my experience.

Actually loving live with no female. Won't be doing that again ever. Too selfish and really can't be bothered with that.

Motogp riders wear Alpinestars Tech Air airbag. Doesn't seem to bother them one jott whether they crash or not. So seems to work.
