You sir are a cock.

Took a while for a bite on that one!

Are you sure about the choice of words? We already think MTB's self confessed fanny magnetism is just a mask to try and convince us he's not 'that way'

Ken you can't say anything as a joke on here these days. I'm as good a painter as a lover. Which to be honest, as long as it's in the dark is fking awesome.

It's actually above freezing this morning. I barely had to de-ice the taxi. If it keeps this up then I'm coming.

My only concern is my bike being covered in salt and st all the way down. Yazza messaged me to say put a cover over it. Has anyone done this on a trailer. Or will it

A) rip my cover to fk
B) fly off
C) do nothing
Or
D) the first decent wind will send my car paragliding across the m6

Ok that bodes well, we've had some snow in Sheffield and it won't go away, I'd assumed it would be the same on the other side of the Pennines.

Do supercorsas warm up properly in these temperatures?

It's too soon for me to have the bike ready but I might swing over to watch for an hour. any of you lot fancy Anglesey in either may or June?

I've already got loads booked.

[Tim85]

There's a 99 quid Anglesey Friday that looks tempting at the end of May although il just get back from le mans so may get pre married divorced if I dissapear again the same week...is it worth it

How come donnington is so expensive in comparison. I think the 200 quid ones are the women's only but even so the other days seem the best part of 50 quid more.

[LoonR1]

Donington is easy to get to and one of only two circuits in the UK that can hold international races. It's also the home of MotoGP now. You'll be able to drive to Donny on the day as well, so no overnight stays at £x.

It's worth paying extra, as a track, as its superb. As good as Anglesey is, it's not got the same status or feeling about it.

I know you wont, but if you look at the prices for knockhill this year, its £170 or £190 on the day for a full day. It is an open session for knockhill admittedly, but your hard pushed to do more than you would on a session day.

They have announced like 3 session days for the year at £100. That's more than reasonable, but at 170-190 they are taking the piss a bit.

even their evening sessions, 2 hours, are £80. fk that

Why aren't you coming to Oulton?

[LoonR1]

Fair enough. It's only going to be a jog round to shake off the cobwebs

[Fleegle]

I still can't decide where my shakedown is going to be.

I'm not liking this cold weather too much, and the thought of the new bike out for the first time on cold tyres frightens me a bit

It's easy. Just follow Schnellman round

How the hell will I be able to keep up with an RC30?

It OK, he'll only be riding at 70%, so you might be able to keep up. He's pretty awesome if you ask him.

I'd have thought that as long as you tie it all down properly so it's not just a big parachute you'll be ok
