This is going to be a quick update and an overview of the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion because i haven’t had the motivation to reinstall my Word Precessing kit yet. Naughty me. Anyway, today i went to my local bike shop as they have a really great offer on for Yamaha’s XJ6 Diversion. I’ve always liked the bike since Yamaha brought it out in 2009 and i had a sit on one of the new arrivals last February and was pleasantly surprised, so when 0% finance and free this and that came up i had to go down. I had a really long penis look at the bike and i think i have fallen in love. Every time i see one it grows on me more and more. I didn’t test ride the bike so my initial thoughts can’t really stem beyond the showroom interaction but i have to say that i am very impressed.

It has to be one of the most practical bikes i have seen with decent weather protection, a centre stand AND a kickstand, grab rails and an accommodating riding position similar to Kawasaki’s ER6F (Ninja 650r). However, sitting on the two i do prefer the XJ6 as it just seems lighter to me (it actually is 5 KG heavier), after all it is probably the half fairing which does this. I’m not ure which one I’d choose though; the torquery twin or the linear inline? The seat seems a little uncomfortable on both models yet i am not the greatest judge on this coming from a cruiser. The comfort is – as expected – much greater than a super-sport as the upright position and gentle sloping posture make for a more sport tourer style. That’s about all i can give without actually riding the bike and if it wasn’t for the insurance i would take one home now…
Besides this i also bought some new leather trousers which match my jacket and Gloves. These are the Lewis Apexx Jeans with knee sliders. First impressions seem good and i should have a full review by early February. Now i have all of the Lewis leather sport suit, no guesses to what my name is then?

Sorry i haven’t been around the past few days but my PC contracted a Worm Hole after a friend sent me a “safe link” to check out. It wiped all of my Windows drive out but luckily i dual boot with Ubuntu so i was just able to copy my files over, format Windows and then away we go! I’ve not installed Word yet and it is late so forgive me if i have made some spelling errors. Things should be back to normal tomorrow with a new review posted and some riding tips (possibly a vlog as well).
Remember kids, always install multiple operating systems on a drive (preferably Linux) so that when you get viruses off of all that porn you can just log on, copy everything and then format your drive instead of losing everything! A valuable lesson!

THIS has to be one of the funniest things i have ever read in my life.
Here are some quotes from the article that might get you interested, and by the way it IS safe for work. It’s a Yahoo news article after all.
“the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused”
“The anxious man, aged about 40, gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck”

As you are probably aware much of England has been blanketed in heavy snow over the past few days (make that weeks for where I live) so I have not left the house in a while, therefore I have not had a chance to test out the Viper helmet I bought a couple of weeks back. It’s really starting to get on my nerves now though. I live in the Pennines, an area of moorland and hills, in fact the road I ride pretty often on my bike was featured on the latest episode of Top Gear (James May with the Vauxhall) if you watched it.
On average the temperature is three degrees (Celsius) colder where I live in the country than it is in the centre of Sheffield – my nearest city/town. Add that with the altitude difference and we get some pretty bad snowfall. Right outside my house the road is covered in about 4 inches and all over my back garden the snow is over 1 ft (12 inches), there are drifts that go well beyond this as well as I experienced yesterday.
I just thought that you might like to know what’s going on at the moment. I have some pictures (pretty poor quality to be honest) that I took the other day with my video camera. The snow is about twice as deep as it is on these pictures as I took these Tuesday morning at around 9 AM. I’ll try and get some better quality pictures tomorrow but we’ll see.

My poor baby under a blanket of snow. Still starts first time however!

Winter motorcycle boots work great in snow! Review coming soon!

As you can see, the council do an impeccable job of clearing the roads!
