  1. I know this is a long shot but anyone localish to boston lincs have a r/h rear indicator or lense? Some pikey has stolen mine today while i was out. Can order on flebay if i sell a kidney for a silly bit of plastic but thought maybe someone had one laying around i could collect Its a k6 750
  2. I have the sena 20s i would reccomend all day long. For 30 quid i wouldnt hold your breath for anything reliable or decent
  3. Sounds like your describing this accident as before you enter the roundabout??? Am i right? If so you have gone into the back of him as your both travelling same direction so your fault. How ever if he pulled out on you on a roundabout i think we know the answer to this..... He is at fault
  4. Do you not have the ability to use a different mic? If you can plug another in you want a wired mike. I take it that it on the end of a boom at the minute?

    Noise issue

    If your using the correct grade oil for the engine then it will circulate as soon as the bike starts and the oil pump gets going. So if you have to wait until its warm before your oil gets about then i suggest you remove the gear oil from your engine Yes you should start the bike and let the choke come off before riding off but then keep the bike below 4k for the first couple mims of the ride. 5 mins is un needed to be honest and waste valuable riding time. Back to op between 11:30pm and 7:00am he must comply with noise regulation, outside of that he needs to be a decent human being. If he is telling people to F off then start collecting evidence. Report to the police or council. There is no need to manually rev the bike and if its a modern FI bike then he can ride straight away if he wants
  6. Im still out!
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  14. 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.
  15. Fooking hell h is lucky it hit the bike and not him
  16. Glad you found a school that works for you, just keep up the work and enjoy it! It shouldnt be a chore
  17. I'm bald and proud, no hair to do and mess up with my crash helmet
  18. here's the ones the guy took, he didn't get much though
  19. Im itching to book again.... Will be cadwell but have to fit new pads, chain and sprocket first, will be fine for the road but another session may just say bye to the pads
  20. Cheers mate ill keep my eye on it and wait for them to appear.
  21. Oh yes ear to ear grin and aching body parts like I have spent 4 hours straight in the gym. Tdo? I'll be going again for sure
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
