  1. But in all seriousness, you should not have to put up with negativity and bullying. Next time he makes a snarky comment about anything (especially biking) put him back in his box. I think venting on here is prob a help on your long winding road and a big step tbh. You do what you want and if the boot of another half don't fit then there are plenty more boots out there that will fit Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  2. Sounds like you have a girlfriend not a boyfriend Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  3. Jesus Christ! You know how I say 99% of accidents can be avoided by the rider? That's one of the 1%. Glad you escaped and well done on finding the gap and getting yourself there. Cheers mate, it's always never too far away 'disaster' travelled the same road the other day to see where it was and if there was anything else that could have been done but my mate agreed that no time and space for anything Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  4. Cheers guys, yh I'm all good safely wrapped up at home gladly. By far the scariest moment I have had, I'm sure if I had have turned around the stupid smidsy comment would have sent me over the edge, I can't believe we share the roads with these absolute morons At least if I ha e a slide in a bend and it's a near miss it's my fault but makes you think your never too far from something out of your control Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  5. The award goes to the 4x4 driver that almost ruined me. Straightish road I come over a blind crest to be confronted by a silver 4x4 overtaking a caravan on a b road. My heart sank, hard on the brakes looking for the softest looking bush to land in. Realised I went stopping and the car wasn't backing out I took my chance with the grit and stones that gather at the side of the road, arm catches the wing mirror I get past still on two wheels and sigh with relief I can get back to my boy to finish fathers day. Considered turning round and hunting him/her down but thought better of it as I was raging decided to clear my head with the rest of the ride Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  6. Pop on YouTube and visit 'imdeadsilence' look at his video and he installed a lock that bolts to the front caliper and a pin is inserted that goes through the holes in the disc, essentially a disc lock but one that doesn't need removing it's pretty good, not cheap though Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Election

    Individual votes casted Tories got 13.6 million votes and labour got 12.8 million votes, largely down to the clever campaign aimed at youngsters without a clue on social media. Personally I voted Tory as I believe they do a better job in a bad bunch and they started this brexit road and I want them to continue, I don't pull a try k apart at work and expect someone to know my logic on organisation and be able to put it together. they already have a plan in place how ever full of pitfuls it is it's better than what another party can throw together in 11 days. Again I voted brexit too. Corbyn is a nice bloke I'm sure buy it's easy to promise the world when you don't have the power, and the Labour are expecting to be able to stretch this corporation tax rise to pay for everything they promise? And free tuition for students? No! Pay for it and pay back your fees I know of too many people that went to uni for the crack lived off their student grants and loans and never intended to pay it back because they didn't even want to work in the area they studied Tories won don't matter if it's an inch or a mile a wins a win and labour need to crawl back u fed their rock with the monster raving loonie party :) Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  8. I wouldn't trust anything from b and m to hold fuel but I'm sure you can buy a small type fuel can. Having said that I find it hard to think you would ever find yourself more than 30 miles from a fuel stop anywhere in the UK and if abroad just keep topped up Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  9. If the slalom can't be failed through speed then decision should be overturned imo Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

  11. Try letting the bike get up to temp before trying to engage 1st that should tell you if it's oil related clutch drag. Then go ahead with adjustment. If the bike has been sitting a long time then this is quite usual Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

  13. This topic is rather comical. I think some people are getting confused with bike leaning and rider using bodyweight and hanging off in corners. I have read a reply on here saying they were following a bike same speed and he is meant right over and you were upright. If you want to get into the physics, then your bike would have been at a greater lean angle than the rider hanging off. If that's their riding style then so be it, I use my body in sharper corners not to get my knee down (although that would be nice) but in the event of something going wrong half way round the bend I'm more likely to lowside than highside like the bloke following sitting bolt upright who runs more of a risk of highsiding. That's part of the reason why racers hang off along with achieving greater speeds round the bend and knowing the where the edge of the tyre is with their knee as a reference. If you don't want to lean a bike in corners then don't, just buy a trike otherwise stop overthinking corners, look where want to go and ride safe Drops the mike Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  14. I'm rooting for Mr Davies too. Given up on Tom Sykes, not a Jonny Ray fan th, but hey ho between the 3 of them they make sure the Brits rule the wsbk Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  15. Went earlier, mate let me down so just me and the baby, retail stands were sparse, well decent ones, plenty selling knock off gear and tat. Only thing I needed to buy and I can get it cheaper from a local shop to me which is a let down. Will Defo think twice about going again unless there is a few of us Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  16. I'll be going along with my boy, too young to appreciate but oh well, he will enjoy himself! And I'll be meeting up with my mate Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  17. Bikes don't turn, they bank Stop thinking and just ride. How else you supposed to get the most out of your tyres if you don't use the edges of them Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  18. If it's a pink licence then you should have dates passed in the boxes for entitlements you hold. A pic of the back of the licence will clear things up Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  19. I have rst tracktech evo for commuting and aplinestar sp1 for rideouts both have good level of protection for the wrist, rst ones more so Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  20. As if a 16 year old on a 49cc isn't dangerous enough or very experienced having taken a CBT for a twist and go but they an also legally ride a bike with a tyre like that? I'm out! Lol Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

  23. Thanks matey - is that the main body or to the tabs? That's the main body Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  24. Mines a k6 750 and the radiator is 290mm high Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  25. You can get carry racks that attach to the tow bar and the bike is stowed across the back of the van. Doesn't come in contact with the van apart from the tow bar Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
