  1. Well same here tbh. Ive had the ZXR since 1996 and the R1 since 2001 so im kinda attached to them. I used to use them all the time, but had about 4 years when I didnt use them at all due to house DIY and work etc. Then last year the missus told me she was pregnant so I immediately MOT`d the R1 and ran out & bought a 996 too. Think ive probably been out a dozen times maybe this year. Its laughable really, I bought the 996 and immediately dropped about £1500 on a major service, plus new brake pipes, brake fluid, new uprated calipers, fuel filter, all the belts, etc... then 200 miles later the clutch blew up, which was another £400 and now ive had to just fit £230 of new tyres as the old rear tyre had a tendency to slide out on bends ....and i thought the zed was expensive to run! You'll have to let me know if you fancy a blast out soon, you're in Cambridge aren't you?
  2. I barely have time to ride one (bike - not Mrs).
  3. Very true. When I was a lad, bikes were expensive and insurance was sky high, so you`d start off on a 50cc or maybe a 125 if you were old enough. Typically your first "big bike" would be a 2 stroke 250cc. Mine was an RD350. Then you`d probably work your way up and get a 600, then maybe a 750 and finally then jump up to a 1000. But, these days, nearly everyone I know jumps straight onto a 600cc as their first bike. Mad really when you think that something like a modern R6 or GSXR600 has more power than a 1000cc bike had back in the 90`s. how many bikes!!?
  4. I thought the road test was a piece of cake, not like car test with instructor sat right next to you.
  5. I'd disagree on the warm up point of view and with respect to being dangerous, do you mean over excursion? They constantly tell people to check their heart rate and anyway surely it depends on how hard you push? He's always saying keep good form too. For my needs it's great as it's really helped my fitness and recovery times. I can only assume Husky that you didnt warm up properly or went at it too hard too soon. I know my limits and always work myself in gradually.
  6. Yeah I got through it earlier in the year. Now I just do the top end ones a couple of times per week. My fitness still has a way to go and losing more weight will help obviously but the insanity has vastly improved my recovery times. At TKD after a session I used to be utterly FUBAR but now I feel like 'yeah that was hard work but could do some more' and it's been the insanity that's done it. It helps a bit that there's some fit birds in the vid, Shaun T is quite fit too
  7. I've lost another 2lb this week. Small meals 4 times aday seem to be working + hour walk in the morning and taekwondo/insanity/jogging in the evening. I'm constantly aching, roll on Dec when I can have a break!!
