Took my restored CBR600 for its MOT today, needless to say it passed. Going out for breakfast tomorrow but can't decide between my Ducati 900ss and Benelli Tornado TRE900 [emoji16] hard life eh?

Yah, they aren't for everyone! I'm a biker so everyone is used to seeing me in leather (though normally a one piece suit) Interestingly if you spend proper money to get good quality (my pair was £100 nearly 10 years ago) and go to an expert to get a proper fit for your body type they look a...

I know what you mean, but there is an easy way. I have four bikes and a car, so I have to keep quite organised with insurance. I use the Yahoo mail app on my phone which makes it super easy to set up folders. I have a folder called 'insurance documents' which is where all of my email...

The public insurance database is not updated as quickly as the one the PO use for tax - that one is instantaneous where as the public accessible one can take up to ten days - sometimes more.

About 10 years ago I bought some leather jeans from a shop in Camden. Carefully chosen they do not look odd (don't go too tight / loose or too shiny) and are extremely comfortable. I haven't worn them in ages but they were awesome in winter when worn with a chunky jumper, would be ideal for...

Yikes, get well soon. [emoji15][emoji53]

My first proper camera was my Canon 400D which is my current DSLR. My first camera capable of taking a semi reasonable shot was a Haminex 35mm compact when I was about 12.. Of course back then there were no mobile phones or any other way of taking a photo, but it seemed like a step up from...

Couple of recent ones from me, black and white shot on a Zenit TTL using Kodak T-Max 100, and the colour is Colorama 200 expired 2003 in a Zenit B. In both cases it was shot with a Helios 44.

It was a tongue in cheek reference to their complete lack of grip [emoji12] Gotta love Chinese ditch finders!

Ditto my seat Leon. (True of every automatic I've owned.) is this another case of a new system as keyless being touted as 'progress' while offering no advantages, but lots of drawbacks?

The Chinese already have, sold under dubious names at very low prices.

As a novice I've had a few days like this, but things are improving every time for me. It sounds silly but for me one of the best moments was getting a photo you could never have got with a mobile phone. DSLR's have the ability to take great photos due to their ability to be set exactly right...

That's the one! (Great photo BTW) my folks live at La Siesta, just down the road. I had pulled in there to try an photograph flamingos on the lake, but they were being uncooperative and were on the lake further back which you cannot get to.

Been on a road trip to Southern Spain in my old trusty Leon. On Thursday we head up through northern Spain and south of France

H7 is also less intensely lit. Portway (H5) gives you a tan driving down it at night..
