It's quite unusual for a CBR to break down... Must be the way you ride it

The bottom part of the B2042 Ide Hill road too
It seems to me they've gone overboard with this stuff this year, many more locations and much deeper gravel.
Or is it just me?

Yup exactly what I was thinking on the Bessels Green end of the B2042 last week, it was like an inch thick of ball bearings and the Caddy with traction control was sliding all over the road..... Sad to see there was a fatality on that same stretch the next day from a head on crash between two cars 
Not sure whether is was caused by the ball bearing like surface or not but strange that I found it so bad and 24hrs later one guy is dead and another is in a serious condition in hospital

Yet another list of unecessary work on a car MoT'd from National Tyres Redhill.  . Since when does "excessive play on front suspension struts top mounts mean that any more than just the top mount bush/bearing replacement rather than the whole strut including shock. 
Do not take your car there, however good the £39 MoT offer sounds.

Nope, but told the person who's car it was to tell the little prick there to poke it up their arse.

after a week of working in the west country am glad to be home....i swear to god the nhs are using it on the drivers as a testing ground for prozac and valium, i mean ffs i witnessed a tractor pull out on a car from a feild and then actually manage to pull away from it under acceleration.
national speed limit roads and they drive along them at 35-40mph.....on the up side i think i may have found some of the best roads in the country, great surfaces endless twisties and eeven a mini alpine stylee zig zag road ... i forsee a long weekend break in the furture
