Industry would never find such a project, it would be too dear !!!

I once encountered a deer driving through some 'S' bends late at night on patrol.  Managed to avoid it, but scared the living crap out of one of my colleagues, the young deer was wearing a high viz jacket !!! We worked out that it had been stunned by another vehicle and refused to be moved,...

Astle, aka Marshals of Grimsby, been good to me so far, then again after spending £20k with them, that's what I deserve....

Can't believe it, my LC has started to bubble up in several places on the upper rear quadrant of the final drive!  No paint chips or broken paint, just lots of pinhead sized bubbles, mainly near recesses and flanges. Only done 4360 miles, kept dry and garaged, ringing dealers tomorrow, shal...

Had a Triple Black for loan this week, very nimble, felt like half the weight of the RT.  Didn't like the draught up the sleeves through. ...

Took mine in for 12 month service, gave me a GS loan bike, they are replacing the slave cylinder, mind's the first RT by Astle Laceby to be done.....

Interestingly white is not the best colour for being seen, that honour goes to Pink. Anyone for a pink bike and helmet then. Police using white helmets was about distinguishing them rather than being visible. Someone's got that wrong, when I put my lid on at work I'm still ugly, not distinguished.....
