I agree with Phil people are nuts spending hundreds on branded ones. I had one of these originally http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Mo ... 5411ce169d No intercom function but connects to phone/satnav for calls, music, etc. It worked fine till it got wrecked in a crash. Calls were ok up to about 60 mph, though this is more dependent on how noisy your lid is than the actual headset. I now have a pair of these http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... =12#detail which do everything and intercom between them. Again good up to around 60 for calls, music can be cranked high enough to hear it past a ton.

5.5" screen and android, I disliked having to fiddle about between multiple things on it, dedicated Satnav is easier. Also the polling rate on the GPS antenna is a big deal, phone's poll less often so it's easier to miss turns when riding "enthusiastically", when I was doing deliveries that was unacceptable. I did the glue thing too quite liked it kept the satnav nicely in my vision but when I bought a new screen I thought I'd try something else. That in the photo isn't one of those stem mounts it's a pouch that sits on top of the yoke.

I got a mio satnav meant for cars. Factory reconditioned from eBay cost £30 (best offer accepted) when the same one was £120 in shops. I prefer it to a phone satnav as the GPS antenna is better/polls quicker so you get less missed turns, also massive screen that is effected by the sun less, easier to use with gloves on and better battery life. Also free's up my phone for calls and music via my BT setup in my lid. It lives in this cheap little pouch that sits on the top yoke http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh504/wr6133/IMG_20150126_124357_zpsf1622ac9.jpg I couldn't go back to using a phone app now, the low poll rate, little screen and battery life drove me nuts. I'd love a bike specific tomtom but they cost silly money.

These are £2 muffs bought in China http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh504/wr6133/IMG_20150101_102814_zpsa994b073.jpg Anything you buy here will be better, but those ones are good enough I've not needed to use winter gloves while using them (and my summer gloves are very thin leather).

Muffs. Look crap but if you want warm hands in summer gloves all year round they can't be beaten.

If it happens in future bump the bike.... stick in 2nd, clutch, get jogging forward and let out the clutch lever, quickly pull the lever back as the bike starts (or if totally boss jump on as the bike fires and ride away). The symptoms do sound like your battery is very low or on the way out. You need a multimeter to check properly.

Go to pepipoo and ask. I believe the ignore it advice is no longer valid, but neither is their charge. I think you need to write demanding a written, itemised breakdown of their losses and costs incurred due to your parking.... obviously they can't make that up to £85. Also signage is important. Pepipoo is the place for stuff like this though

Assets are deducted from profits (so reduce tax). Expenses are different. Laptops, furniture, etc are assets and follow capital allowance rules in ref. to the value of the asset and the amount deducted from profit to lower tax burden. Expenses are things like printer ink, coffee, etc or the book definition "a business expense must be necessary and that is wholly and exclusively incurred as part of the day to day running of your business" (but does not meet the criteria for an asset). Further more there are tax deductible and non tax deductible expenses, obviously tax deductible is best as it comes off the profit, so lowers your tax burden further. Fiddling expenses to extract cash is a bad idea (though a common one). You won't pull meaningful amounts of cash out of a business via assets and expenses unless you are being somewhat "creative", though being "creative" may not be looked upon with awe if HMRC want to see the books. Not saying a limited company is a bad idea (it's a good one) but if this is a onetime big wedge of cash it will take a while to actually extract it all legitimately that way while minimising tax. (wife has nearly qualified as an accountant and she gets me to read her books and test her so I've absorbed a silly amount of pointless info, though I'm far from knowledgeable)

You would have to play the slow game taking the money out yearly as Dividends, if you tore the cash out as a lump you would get taxed on it. Only way to get it out faster is to have some people you can 100% trust also being part of the company and for them to take dividends too (and hand you the cash). If this is a big sum and you want access to it quick then a company would not be the best way.

I've been bungeeing my cover to the bike, which stops it blowing upward with the wind. Was fine in the strong winds we've had recently, previously without the added bungees it would blow over in lesser winds than the recent ones. Cheap solution you just need these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-x-New-Bunge ... 540baa7c5b

Isn't that ped a 2 smoke? Checked the 2T oil pump (or is it premix)? If it is a 2 smoke I'd be pulling the head and looking for damage or excessive wear.

With a multimeter check the feed to the reg/rec from the stator, then check the output of the reg/rec. Google is your friend, there are masses of guides online with photos to follow that will be easier than a wall of text typed here.

Whenever I look at their website they seem expensive. I did buy a pair of sunglasses from them once to wear with an open lid and the quality was awesome, lenses didn't scratch and the foam bit didn't fall apart.... was gutted when I dropped them, stood on them and snapped the arm. Still I'd try on in the store and then check online for prices at other places before buying if I were you.

Sounds good, when I was idly thinking of using my ZZR as a working bike (dumb idea not suitable) I was getting similar to that and that's with a full licence.

L plates don't help there, to an insurer you are an unqualified learner, planning to rack up epic mileages in all conditions. Your employer may check/insist on the correct insurance. If they don't and you are not wearing any kind of uniform you could chance it on normal insurance but if caught by old bill your bike may be squashed. You definitely want goods in transit insurance that covers you against losing or damaging whatever you are carrying, without that you lose some small parcel that turns out to be a £99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 piece of unobtanium you are screwed. Though check if the employer provides any of this (I doubt they do though as you are using your own bike I'm guessing you are "self employed"). Like I said though send Marmalade43 a message he can give you actual good advice and may be able to point you toward the best places to get insured, etc.

If my old corrugated plastic box is still in with all my parts I'll get a photo of it later. Looks neater and tidier than most top boxes. Other option is a 2nd hand top box but as I doubt a rack is available for that daelim you are going to need to drill down through the seat still (or make a rack which would be a ball ache, drill seat is easier). If it's a work bike hating the look should be last of what matters. A Honda Innova Bullet proof engine and simple electrics Semi auto gearbox so no faffing with a clutch but not as slow as an actual auto Minimal bodywork to smash Enclosed chain (minimises maint on it) Skinny as hell so can be wedged through the tiniest of gaps When chains, sprockets, tyres, pads do wear out they cost a pittance to replace They were designed to be repaired by 3rd world mechanics with minimal skills, materials or tools so the inevitable crashes and scrapes are cheap and easy to sort. Nobody wants to steal them Demand for them in delivery industry means even after a billion scrapes and an insane mileage they still retain some value (off topic but they are surprisingly lolz to mess about on too) Oh and technically its not a scooter Compared to a CBR125 - Pricier consumables Lots of plastic that will get scuffed, scraped and snapped Uncomfortable to be using for hours at a time (in comparison to the position on an innova) More complex to repair The wear and tear and mileage of using it as a work bike will kill its value Thief magnet In short unless you plan to spend all you earn (and likely more) on keeping the CBR polished and patched you will just end up with a wreck that negates the wanting it to look cool factor. Also get some quotes for insurance that include cover for courier work. I suspect the CBR will get silly high quotes while an Innova will cost b-all. It's all about spending the absolute bare minimum on your work bike to maximise the income you take home.... then you can buy a CBR for your own pleasure use. Before I mangled my spine and quit I was prepping a 50cc Vclic (with an 80cc bore kit) to do delivery work..... now I'm a 29 year old, 16 stone lump can you imagine how silly I look on that? Zero shites given though it was to work a purely urban area that never moved above 40 MPH and the crappy ped was the cheapest way to do it.

Corrugated plastic. Make a pizza delivery box (google it, it's easy). Reinforce the base and sides with some old metal (for base make a square frame around with another piece running up the centre, or use the side panel from a PC case). Drill through the metal you use for the base, drill through pillion seat. Use a couple of hefty bolts to secure it to pillion seat. Add bungees/gaffa tape for effect. I've filled these corrugated plastic boxes to the brim with pizza's and 2 litre drink bottles and they remained intact. You're nuts doing it on what looks to be a street fightered Korean 125 delivery work kills the most well made of bikes. Last year I killed the gearbox on a Honda doing pizza (and wrote one off twice in mechanical failure accidents before writing myself off in another accident)..... have fun If you are working "self employed" (using your own bike you probably are) then you also need courier insurance and GIT insurance (goods in transit). PM Marmalade43 on here for better info/advice (I only did Pizza) he is a semi-mythical couriering God (and a good guy as well). Edit to add - Don't buy a CBR125 for working. Work bikes need to be cheap as hell to run, maintain and repair because you will be repairing it a lot and the consumables wear will be nuts. Honda Innova 125 is the choice for delivery 125.... it's a new take on the old cub. If that's to fancy for you then get an actual Honda C90 cub. They also need to look shit because you can't always park by the door of your delivery so theft is a big issue.

If you do buy a DID chain from eBay buy from a well established seller. There are Chinese fakes on Taobao (Chinese eBay) that cost next to nothing and I know of 1 person that bought a full priced DID chain on UK eBay to find out it was a fake. Here's a fake one on Taobao for the grand sum of £8.50 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... =12#detail They also do fake NGK plugs, Yoshi end cans, brand name braided lines........

I got very drunk before going to Iraq and ended up with a crudely drawn stickman, pushing a crudely drawn lawnmower just above my pubes. My one and only tattoo, I cringe whenever I see it.

No actual claim so nothing for him to declare when he uses a different insurance parasite next year, they can write what they like on a file, no claim paid out = 1 years NCB at the end. Further on what Joeman said if he is 17 and paying monthly then they will have I think illegally entered him in to a loan as I don't think a 17 year old can take out a loan (paying monthly is infact taking out a loan not paying the underwriter monthly).

How flat is your surface? I know my ZZR can be near the upper mark when on an actual flat surface but if I then check on a "flatish" surface it barely shows above the first line. Can make checking it on long journeys a royal pain in the bum.

Not so easy anymore eBay also charge a 10% fee on the postage now. They then prioritise stuff with free postage in listings so if you are selling something fairly common you may not get a look in without offering free post. It's getting pretty grim now... eBay take their skim of the sale price, they then take a skim of the postage cost and then Paypal (owned by eBay) take a skim of the total payment (calculated before you pay the eBay skim). Not so bad if selling high price items that cost a lot to post (so you can load the postage to make up for the postage skim) but when selling lower value stuff with lower postage costs it leaves you feeling raped when you finally transfer what's left to your bank. I know they are a business, need to make money, etc but getting skimmed 3 times by them is irritating. Salt to the wound... add a "buy it now" price........ they charge extra for that too.

Keep up with the job hunting. Worst that happens is they say no which is no worse than if you didn't try. Not bust a leg but did fracture my elbow recently and mangled my spine earlier in the year. I was back riding in 2 weeks out of necessity with the elbow, it hurt like hell if I had another option I would have taken longer off the bike. So unless the bike is your only transport I'd take as long off as the Doc's recommend. Whatever you do get well soon

Tell neighbour to shut curtains when in bed, easier solution.

Feline HIV = Cat AID's? Not taking the piss genuinely never knew it existed. Years ago my Mothers cat had similar symptoms to what you describe. Turned out to be diabetic, had to have special food and be jabbed with Insulin every day. Lived a long and full life though albeit a rather expensive one. That was after a 2nd vets opinion the first vet they saw wanted to euthanize the cat after diagnosing something different. I don't think you are being cruel trying to give her a chance, unless a fatal virus is confirmed (IMO) it's the right thing to do.
