  1. Most our customers insist beans are pushed as they want to hear it from the sidelines I would doubt the person working on the car had a drivers licence, and would rather someone i trusted in a more apropriate enviroment if i wanted to hear it.
  2. Just watched a video on youtube by calmbiker where he says about his recent experience having some tyres fitted and the shocking service and workmanship. Reminded me of a time i visited a garage. I used to have a civic type r and took it to a garage i trusted one day in luton to have a blown resinator cut out and straight pipe welded in place. As it was going to take a while i went to a local cafe for a fry up. After some time as im sitting by the window watching the world go by i heard a car going at it down the road (sounded nice) and so i waited for it to come past and to my horror i see my car go past the cafe (30mph limit) at im guessing 60+ Fuming i go back to the garage where i unleash hell as its me that will get a knock on the door if it was seen and reported or even captured by a speed camera. Needless to say the job was free and i never went back again. So what stories have you guys got of shocking service, crazy mistakes or arguments with garages ect
  3. Can a bike rim not fit on a car tyre machine?..... If so..... I change all my tyres myself, second bead is the toughest as the first just falls on with a twist. When you have got half the tyre bead in kneeling on the side you have put on already makes all the difference. Me and a couple mates are gona chip in and buy a nomar tyre changer i think
  4. Change the sprockets and try it first before you go buying speedo healer ect, my last bike came with altered gearing and i hated it, makes it too twitchy for me, millions are spend on r&d and thats the sprocket sizes they come up with, much smoother and if you want to accelerate harder twist faster or get a bigger bike is my opinion.
  5. Glad you stopped ok ect. To be fair though the lights were amber and people waiting, plan ahead and judge the lights for yourself rather than follow the flow of traffic and it will make for better rides.
  6. Nice review. Enjoy! Another fellow gixer rider

    New Top Gear

    Chris evans is a try hard and not my cuppa tea but mat le blanc i could watch, he is entertaining and eould have fitted in well with the old crew. The new star in the car track could be interesting too i like the rallyX idea
  8. Hats off to you for having just one helmet for 7 years, I seem to have a few lol. I would say yes get another, various reasons but mainly because you never know.
  9. Fooking hell h is lucky it hit the bike and not him

  16. Cheers guys, i had loads of fun, well tired. A friend took me around so i could learn som lines he is lapping 1:50's and put himself in the novice group with me. Got it down to 2:10 at fastest lap but my body position is nowhere near where it needs to be, scraping boots but not knees. Does anyone know the website where the pics will be loaded to i didnt get the address
  17. Well the times here people im off for my first track session at cadwell tonight, its an eve session, hopefully the weather holds off im at work until i leave. Only found out friday so bike is as i use it day to day done the basic checks. Ill be riding there (and hopefully home again) lets see how it goes. Nervous to say the least, i keep telling myself its got to be safer than at the weekends when i go out with my mates for a blast. Any advice is welcome, do's and dont's ect
  18. Cheers guys. I couldn't have the blue one I like black, just hate keeping it clean. Yah it's more sensible but hey I have launch control

  20. Rip to him. The nw200 so far has a few victims already, ben wilson was also flown back due to injury after an off
  21. Trouble with most dating sites is the people........ Unless your smoking hot in your pic and create that instant attraction you will be swiped left and ignored. Especially if your a guy as women get flooded with comments and messages from all sorts of guys so they have to sift through the matches. It's a numbers game keep sending messages if your going to continue on the sites and one fish will will bite
