    It's a good idea to read the fucking manual before fitting a Power
    Commander to your expensive sports bike because if you don't then you
    might think that the grey block connectors on the PC slot into the
    matching ones on the bike instead of going between the totally
    dissimilar brown ones tucked under the fuel rails. If you get it wrong
    the bike runs on three cylinders and the FI light burns holes in your
    retinas.

    It's also a good idea to buy all the parts needed when you change your
    front master cylinder for a Brembo one because it's not good to find
    that the pipe from the reservoir to the cylinder is a different size
    to standard when you've already stripped out the brake lines.

    Luckily both problems were resolved with no harm done and all I need
    now is another sunny day tomorrow so I can road test the fucker.

    It ain't just expensive sports bike, Pal!
    Are you fucking colour blind or what?!
    Wow, that's a bright bulb, man.
    That's where your grey lead shoulda gone, innit.
    Phew, so you decided for a Gixxer thou then?

    I didn't think he was that way inclined. Anyway, how would that help
    sort out testing his bike?

    I waited until the frost cleared and took the bike for a quick spin
    and everything worked perfectly.

    I'm in a state of shock because I've ridden both my 10R and Adies 9R
    this weekend and I've not even got near 100mph.

    I'm scanning this for euphimisms and can't make anything out of it.

    Jesus wept, some of us have a crying need for double-entendre man!
    Nope, no better.

    Gyp, can you give me a hand and apply your head to this to see if you
    can come up with something?

    I rode with a few Leeds folks to Whitby over the Dales. Thank **** for
    heated clothing. Lots of wheelies/stoppies and 140ish.

    These newbies are nice folk but it ain't like riding with yourself,
    champ, bear, christo, etc etc. I had to **** off ahead eventually to
    lean off the vertical some, torture motorists, then stop and wait.

    One guy was running in his new GSXR750K7. **** me it's a gorgeous
    looking bike.

    I didn't go out of 30mph limits either time. The bike's taxed again so
    I've no excuses not to ride it and it'll be doing what it was designed
    for very soon.
    Are we doing a trackday this year? I'm sure one of two hooligans will
    come out and play if we book somewhere sensible like Oulton or
    Silverstone GP.

    Now we need to find a 'sacrificial lamb' to make the day complete. I
    wonder whether Ash wants to try his luck at another trackday?

    I'm still waiting for Mark at No Limits to email me details of what
    trackdays he's taking bookings for.

    They are, aren't they? Shame the GSXR1000K7 is such an abortion.
    Dunno why they couldn't have made them look the same.

    On the same day, with non-motorway road sections between them? Maybe
    WUN would be interested in Blinging along and embarrassing Champ.

    To you and Loz: hooligans, not tracks.

    Only at Silverstone mind, as the A&E is likely to be more local for me.
