currently in Telford area, shropshire, regualrly travel out to stoke too. :smt006

Have familly in North Norfolk (so pass by kings lynn often) and Burnley, so often visit lancashire.
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).

not too far from oulton park then, lucky sod! I'm in Newport, not many of us about down here. Maybe we could meet at the raven's cafe (truck stop on that little bit of dual carrige way just below whitchurch) for breakie and a ride out one day?

not sure i'll be around here too long though, am trying to rent a new property down peterborough way. raven's cafe has postcode of SY13 2AF, follow A41 down past whitchurch, and it's on the right at the end of a little bit of dual carriage way on a roundabout. Ask for the gutbuster breakfast. Then leave your leathers undone whilst you ride home cos you don't fit in them anymore!

maybe sunday 30th. I'm off down to huntingdon that afternoon, leaving about 11ish i'd say, so sounds like a good excuse to get up early for a good meal, and go straight from there. Maybe have a quick blast first.

not yet. in the morning i'm gonna finally get out the bucket, and give the gpz and the zxr a damn good wash. Refit the mud guard, bleed the brakes, fit the stick coils (gotta sort out how to attach them to the loom though!), tidy up the wiring (see the heat shrink), and take her for a spin. then i'll get some pics. i'm doing a diary in the other bikes section, not much to see yet with pics. she's a bit of a frankenstein's creation, mismatched bodywork (it's the wrong colour and badly scuffed, but it's got all the lugs, and was £12 of ebay, GET IN!)

damn, the guy (read butt) i bought my zxr off had one, and i didn't bother with it (i did direct access). He might still have it 01952 462616 ask for lee, mention the zxr he sold in the summer, ask if he still has the restrictor kit. failing that, ebay. ask around on the forum, some one will have one!
