I have a Polish friend who has a job as a sound engineer, I have a Czech one too.

They've just opened a Bob Marley restaurant in Kingston where you can sit down for a nice goat curry....... But you have to stand up for your rice.

Yes another one here got stung, I was only answering a phone call, couldn't believe the bill when it came through, since then I always turn roaming off and don't ring or answer phone when out at sea, just for the record I was on the Plymouth Santander crossing last week and just used the ships WiFi ...

Had a 660 ten for about 3 years now and I think its an excellent road bike but a very tall one, i'm 6'2" and still think its high, its got an aftermarket touratech seat on it but not sure if it makes any difference to height to original seat, it was on it when I bought it.

Great bike, bought mine new in 2004, still got it 83000 miles later, ultra reliable and no slouch either, as been mentioned keep an eye on exup valve and thats about it.

Great read, thanks for posting, already got Norway planned for summer 2018 so a very interesting and informative read for me.

If you struggle with getting anywhere near NW200 circuit I would recommend Brooke Lodge Guesthouse in Magherafelt, stayed there last year for the Cookstown 100, had a lovely stay there.

Stayed at the Pinetrees Bed and Breakfast in Ballymoney couple of years ago, very nice and lovely landlady.

Another Planet Rocker here, still listen to radio 2 now and again but never Chris Evans,he is smash the radio up with a lump hammer material, not recommended.

Getting the 660 ten out this weekend, off to the Yorkshire Dales for couple of days, staying over in Reeth, got a b&b booked, definitely no camping on this one!!
