Must admit, I'd been having thoughts of replacing the Bandit and the

But it seemed like sacrilege to put full Givi luggage on a 'Busa, and
the whole car thing has put paid to it anyway. The GSXR is enough for
me.

So car it is. Ok it's going to be 100 quid or so going out every
month, but to run a car for 25k miles a year, it's got to be the
cheapest way of doing it.

Thread hijack. The brakes went on my SO diesel Clio at the weekend. The
road was quite wet and for some unknown reason I decided to do a test
brake to see how slippery it was. Something went pop and the pedal sank
