Top guys in there -
As you get more confident your head movement will become more fluid and you will take in a lot more info. A good helmet will help with this as it will give you a wider field of view my first helmet was naff for visibility at peripheral so i quickly upgraded. But essentially your only checking your blind spot as your mirrors cover whats behind

This is a big wide subject as some wont touch rear and some swear by it. Your taught in lessons to brake until speed is down to 4/5mph then pull up on rear brake as its smoother and more progressive, but ill be honest i have done plenty of joirneys and not touched the rear unless i need to stop quick. Feathering the front brake at low speeds and progressive at high speeds is key but you will learn your own method

I have a titanium scorpion system and its deffo not for road use but doesnt have anything stamped on it. My last bike had an akra which was stamped but someone had buffed it so faint you could barely read it if you had the right light. I wouldnt worry about the fuzz unless your drawing attention to yourself. In answer to first question is if you spend the money you will get the gains, a cheap slip on may change the sound but thats about it unless your unlucky and it sapps a few ponies.

Take it to a local garage and give them a few quid as coolant disposal costs garages. Your right dont tip it down the sink or drain, and dont leave in an exposed container in the garden while you are working out what to do with it i lost a cat through all biet malicious but still antifreeze poisoning just before xmas

I remember being off for 3 months because of post-viral fatigue a couple of years back - getting back on the bike after an extended break feels amazing! Yh i cant wait. The bikes at work so ill take it to the petrol station when im back in friday if i feel up to it
-
My cast is off! Been in cast for 6 weeks and has it been long or what. Just need to build some strength up in my hand then get on the bike

Agreed, the charge must be proportionate to the losses incurred by you overstaying. How long did you overstay for? Was the carpark full?

What is a tail tidy
fq-craigus replied to jamesrb90's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
They can be, in my experience buy cheap buy twice, i got one and it lasted a month before it snapped and got caught in my wheel. R&g are good but like you say expensive -
Go for a did set that will do you well

fq-craigus replied to jamesrb90's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Spot on a tail tidy is either a generic bracket or bike specific that allows you to remove the ugly plastics and just have the number plate nd indicators on the new bracket instead. You can always go one step further and fit a new undertray too and different lights -
Well done
