  1. It's obivous isn't it?
  2. Still not managed to get mine to record in 45mins isntead of 3 min clips .. >.> ALso anyone know if you can buy replacement adhesive patches for the helmet holder.
  3. Shit ... they're on to me.
  4. Haha, but i suck! I bow before your mad skillz haha.
  5. I'm wondering how long before this post gets locked o.o Think people need to chill a bit, this is just peoples opinions and thoughts unfortunately people have different opinions and people don't like that! But let's not start making enemies here.
  6. I've never seen them out and about either tbh. Only place i saw them was one bloke at orwells waiting for his service. and selling them at last years excel motorbike show.
  7. Was in the car that time haha. Bikes been garaged untill i get a new tyre. checked the tread it's pretty much dead on 1mm!! >.>
  8. Not going well around colchester lately for me. Driving to the gym and came to the roundabout at avenue of remembrance (town end not lexden end) turned to go towards leisure world. and as i came off there was an audi driving in my lane skipping all the traffic like a massive cock. Thankfully no one was in the left lane as i swerved left in such a rush i would've smacked into them. Traffic may be bad but it's no excuse to drive like a dangerous lunatic.
  9. Goodluck! If you can do mod 1 mod 2 is a piece of cake =D Just take it slow, do your checks (shoulders and mirrors) over check if you have to. Signal and move smoothly.
  10. I think the point of it is people act like arses when the cops arn't about. So when you act like a dick to a biker and he passes you and you briefly read what you think is "Police" on a high vis, you might think "Shit i should be more careful". Now i know drivers should be more careful (riders to we make just as many mistakes) but it is a "scare" tactic as such. I personally don't have a problem with them same as people who wear all black and ride around with their lights off =D
  11. Totally.. Road had so many cars on it bet they were all thinking "What a twat" and i still feel like a twat for making such a stupid mistake!! Gonna be nagging myself for weeks hah
  12. Myself big time today.. Riding down the A12 stuck behind some guy doing 60 in outside lane with a clear run infront of him. After 10 minutes of him passing lorries at 1mph faster i had enough and did a dickhead move of undertaking him. As i roared past feeling pleased with myself. I failed to pay attention infront and if i had i would have seen that traffic had completely STOPPED. Fortunately my bike can brake quite well. Unfortunately for me the tread on my tyre is less than perfect.. (I'm getting a new tyre fitted tomorrow) as i pressed the rear brake in the slightly damp road. My bike suddenly felt lighter than air as my rear wheel slipped around behind me trying to get some grip. THankfully i kept it steady, steering my way out of the potential death i was staring in the face.. The most worrying part about it was a little voice in my head telling me i shouldn't bother i should just go down which creeped me out a bit. I pulled over for about 10 minutes checked the bike over and calmed down before i carried on but i feel ashamed with myself for being so impatient, that impatience nearly cost me my life.
  13. Utter oxygen thief dithering bumbling as*hole driver on the A12 this morning that nearly caused me to crashed into the back of them at 70... Driving down past kelvedon turn on (south a12) see a car coming on so i lay off the throttle a little create a small gap for him. Car is going about 50 - 60 by now so i decide to itch my itchy nose.. as i lift my visor and scratch away (bliss) ar*ehole decides i've not left him a big enough gap and slams on his fudging brakes before realising IT IS BIG ENOUGH and tries to accelerate past me in his 1.4 something or other. So emergency stop with a van behind me and a car infront of me. Quickly dropped down 3 gears and accelerated into the clear outside lane before i got crushed. Now i know i should have expected this to some degree. But i kind of hoped that as i had given this pathetic excuse of a driver a reasonable gap they would know what to do. Moral of the story. Accelerate past everyone flipping them off as you go.
  14. Fitting an exhaust is pretty easy. pretty much just slides in. bolts on. Don't get a garage to do it better of trying these things and building your skills up! =D
  15. How can they not show you any manouvers apart from figure of 8... There should be no reason they are charging you more unless you were hopeless and they had no confidence to take you out..? But still seems a bit bad.. Mine i went there kitted up talked about the bike rode around the testing area then after a brew went out on the bike for a couple hours came back, good to go.
  16. Visor is staying down all the time now.
  17. The summer savior that is =D Hot face, but bugs in your eyes. Though i have had a fly somehow circumnavigate the visor and hit me in the face..
  18. Specifically went out to find one for myself. It's been very helpful. saves wearing sunglasses or a permanent tinted visor.
  19. Basically what Rant machine said. I have bought 2 lids so far. I bought a £25 a few years ago just to use on the back of my mates bike, fairly naff tbh cold, let air in everywhere, felt a little flimsy. I bought a caberg V2RR when i started riding for £130 it's lovely, Warm, Great safety rating, Looks awesome. It's quite big but at the end of the day i dont mind if it will save me =D Go try some on and be prepared to spend a little bit of money. Go to a shop KNOWING what you want and how much you want to spend and if you don't find it move on. Also don't buy online. Or second hand.
  20. The others are all fine. It seems fine i think. Chain is tight enough but not to tight and it doesn't make much of a big deal to my day to day
  21. Ah fair enough. Didn't want to be doing damage to the chain or engine ^^ Mind is at ease now.
  22. I've noticed whenever i'm stopped IE at traffic lights and i put it in neutral cause sod holding the clutch in for 10 minutes. When i put it into first it really clunks. I have the clutch pulled in properly and it's no issue if i put it into first while moving slowly to a stop. Any ideas? Just a little annoyance not a major problem =D
  23. Ah top man, Will check these out later on =)
  24. Harsh! Go to the excel one in london feb =)
  25. Can anyone recomend a good brand of frame sliders for my bandit 600? I just want a set as a precaution especially in this slippery wet weather we're due to have soon.
