Ians Ramblings Ian's ramblings, daily, ish

Christmas is almost here!

And I still haven't finished my shopping and wrapping yet booooo. Though in better news I have passed my car driving test at long last. After years of riding motorbikes all year round winters to come should be a lot more pleasant.

I hope all is well with everyone who comes across this site especially my Azizam xxx

MD5 Checksums and Windows

Ever downloaded an application realised the site had the MD5 Checksums there but you didn't bother to check them because you couldn't be bothered to install something and faff just to generate MD5 hashes on Windows?

Motorbike Show 2009 – NEC

Yet again I have been a very lazy creature regarding posting anything on my site, but thought I would put a few links to some more recent pics and whitter on a little about the motorbike show over at the NEC I went to this year.

I had a good time over there as usual, still tons of bikes being displayed there as you can see in the pics, particularly BMW, they had a huge stand this year and a massive range of models, also great to see Norton there and Triumph.

With regard to BMW, their sports bikes are looking amazing these days. They are pretty pricey but in the same kind of ball park as the Ducatis. Here's a link to a site about one of their models, I included it just because it's a really novel site take a gander.

It was a little dissapointing to not see Honda, Ducati, Harley Davidson or Aprillia there though. Hopefully it's not a sign of bad things for them economically.

As always they have a huge amount of biking kit on sale at really decent prices, so I ordered myself a pair of scorpion exhausts for my Yamaha really looking forward to their arrival probably early next week!
