i'm kettering and be up for a wee run before going, where you got planned and what time? Sorry dude - I missed this. If you're free on Wednesday night there's a bike meet in Northampton. Come along
-
Anyone going from Northamptonshire? I might set off early and take a long route to get there if anyone else is up for it?
-
I may venture out that way
-
Paint WRX in daventry, top quality lads, tell them Tom from next door sent you 01327 600021 Cheers Tom. Got it booked in at Kettering now. Ill keep that number should I need them again (hopefully not!)

Anyone know of (or is) a body repair professional? Looking to get two dents fixed, both about the size of a 50p and unrepairable via paintless dent removal methods due to location

I didnt mention pulling out in front of people doing 90mph + people who choose to drive at excessive speeds meaning I have to slow down to be able to find a gap to overtake frustrate me more than middle lane hoggers. Excessive speed kills - lane hoggers are less likely to cause fatal accidents (unless they're doing well under the speed limit of course)
-
Yes, because that's how the Highway code says you should drive - 15 seconds is a plenty big enough gap to pull over into! Obviously if you need to pull out again after 3-5 seconds then that's different. It's because people don't pull over to the left and continue to drive in the centre lane that causes the situation where there are no gaps to pull out into. It effectively reduces a 3 lane motorway to a 2 lane motorway! Yes, but it also states that the national speed limit is 70mph! If I'm travelling at 70mph in the middle lane overtaking two lorries then theoretically it shouldn't make a difference if I pull back in or not!
-
I don't get the lane hogging thing. If I'm on a motorway overtaking a lorry at 70mph and there is gap of say 15 seconds between the lorry I'm currently overtaking and the next lorry I want to overtake do I have to pull in to let the moron doing 90mph + approaching my behind past? By the time I've pulled in ill be trying to find a gap to pull back out. What time period is classed as "lane hogging"?

Genuinely gutted for you mate!

If no one on here can help you try asking the guys on 675.cc A lot of the guys on there use tune ECU on their Daytona's so might be able to help

Sorry dude, didn't think to post on here until yesterday. Come along on Wednesday night to the cafe in Northampton if you'd like to meet everyone (see my other post) -
Drank an energy drink and it gave me a bad head Burnt the roof of my mouth eating my dinner too quickly before it had chance to cool down Realised there's no biscuits left to go with my cup of tea. Worst day ever

Awesome. There'll be barbecues in the summer months so I'm told. -
Search for Northampton Bikers Club on Facebook. We regularly have ride outs with riders of all abilities, from L plate riders to 1000cc riders. Hope to see some of you joining us

Anyone from Northamptonshire, there is a Wednesday night meet at the All Seasons Cafe in Billing Garden centre. Dave usually puts on a meal deal for £6. Hope to see some of you there.

Still not answering my question Zod?
-
Serious question for Zod: Would you take a job at McDonalds if they offered you one? have you tried applying there?
-
Without mentioning anywhere in particular there are numerous places with careers that offer excellent career progression, all it takes is hard work and commitment and the realisation that a tough badly paid job can turn into whatever you make of it. I do think there are many genuine people who need help. As usual it's the minority that tie everyone else with the same brush.

CBT booked for next week!
D282 replied to Abraxix92's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Buy the Highway Code book from whsmiths! Take your own kit there's will probably have a million other people's sweat inside it. -
Ignore the speedo, you don't get enough time to look at it. Open it up to what feels about right. A couple of practises and you should get it easily. My instructor had booked the mod 1 track for an hour for me to practise on on the morning of my test...
