@pageboy - Google is your friend. Google Skype and you'll find where to download. It installs free software, and it uses your laptop camera - no additional camera reqd. I have separate profiles for home, office and laptop - same name with slight variations. High speed connection definitely...

Dean, GCC is just round the corner from me, and they used my bike way back to make mould for some of the Gen 1 stuff they produce. They can do some parts in different colours, and their stuff is first class. See my profile pic. @PatC - it attaches with the double-sided tape used to attach...

Great race, and specially the last few laps. I didn't think he was going to do it, but Lorenzo has learned - you have never beaten Rossi until you have crossed the line in front of him.

Always try and bring her home wanting more, even if it means building slowly on a short base. When I have a new pillion I suggest, no, tell them, that when we corner they should gently lean closer to me (not snug - it's more in the mind than physical - I find it's 'comforting' for them) and...

Another suggestion - establish Facebook accounts, because they can put up albums of pictures (and make them private or public) and you get to share more of their experience. When our young ones were travelling (Taiwan, USA and mostly Canada) that's how we kept up with their experiences. I also...

Molly, our cross Cocker Spaniel/Minature Poodle (Spoodle): and in one of her many favourite positions:

Thanks Mark Our Molly is a little bigger (25lbs) but maybe worth the try - I do have a spare set of bags.

Mark, how tall and heavy is Duke? I have a second set of bags and am considering a similar arrangement for Molly. She is a Sppodle (cross Cocker Spaniel Minature Poodle, weighs 11kg/24lbs) thanks David

For the second MotoGP in a row we had the riders facing changing weather, and having to judge when to come in to swap bikes. I thought it was a great race - interest all through the field. These guys have incredible skills (and the last 2 laps of the 250 race is a 'must watch'). Casey Stoner...

Spyder, Brian and Steve, my heart is heavy, and I agree with what has been said about taking care of yourselves, and watching for the signs that you need to not just rely on your own coping mechanism. Well done on doing what you could. And guys, what a tough job telling Lee's wife. When you...

Based on the evidence as presented, I rest my case :rolleyes: Yes, I should have posted a smilie - whoops and sorry. After many years of FJR riding and forum-following (david1300 on other forums) I have great respect for many here, and elsewhere. I have respect for OC, based on what he has...

OC - thanks for sharing your info. I haven't been around here all that much of late, but this thread was a great read. And no, you won't die, and your nuts ain't gonna fall off (I think), but did anyone ever think to warn you that putting a CT on your FJR will wear the engine out? I should...

In early November I got this email from YouTube: Dear UL090, Your video "Amnesty Is Granted" has been identified by YouTube's Content Identification program as containing copyrighted content which UMG claims is theirs. Your video "Amnesty Is Granted" is still available because UMG does not...

Not sure where you get Corser and Aprilia in the same sentence. Old news that he is going to BMW. https://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...7-23770,00.html

Feelin' good??? :clapping: :clapping:

I think it's the scaphoid bone in the wrist. I also heard from our Aussie 'expert commentators' (specifically Daryl Beattie, ex MotoGP rider - who fill the gaps during the pre-race stuff) that Casey was riding without painkillers, and it probably didn't need much of a jolt to hurt like hell...

Casey Stoner clinched his 7th pole in a row with a last-lap effort, relegating Rossi to 2nd: https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Stoner+...e+pole+position Hopefully this translates to anothert epic battle, with no offs. BTW, Stoner is riding with a brace and bandaged wrist to protect a...

Ride on Tim. Our prayers are with Patty and your family and friends, that they may know the peace that passes understanding.

Great racing. Rossi now 1 full win clear at the top of the table, with Pedrosa 16 points further back. Interesting that Pedrosa sat it out, and if you look at the way Lorenzo's season has gone after his first big crash you have to say that Pedrosa is being smart. Take a break, let the body...

For info, here are 2 shots of the pegs of a mate's FJR. I do scrape pegs occassionally, but not generally on the road (always on the track), but these are fron road scraping (feelers, what feelers?): It is frightening though to hear of guys sitting up and crossing the centreline after...
