Let’s face it there are 2 ways we’ll get taken off our bikes. By some idiot pulling out (as happened to my nephew this evening, he’s ok bike probably dead). Or oh f**k I have over cooked this, intentional or not The problem is the not quite making the goal, long term injuries/ disabilities. @Fiddlesticks it’s Middle aged Male suicide figures are quite horrendous. https://www.samaritans.org/about-samaritans/research-policy/middle-aged-men-suicide/suicide-risk-factors-middle-aged-men/ Then the liver and kidney damage/ injuries in females IMHO is going to race up in time through the amount of attempted overdoses by young females that are happening.

Just hope it's cheaper to remove a white line than install a traffic light or the local council will of created there ultimate goal. Another traffic jam. A fair few years ago on that junction. There was absolute bedlam, a horse peacefully grazing on the verge. Cars stopping flashing people leaping out of cars to stop traffic, we slowed and drove carefully round. As you we would of we where in the New Forest, we looked at each other then realised. The horse was out of place!

0.008% Chance of dying on motorbike. O.014% Chance of a male comitting suicide. Having learned of the loss of another genuine good guy. Some how it spurred me to look at statistics. I once figured that being left on your own as a man is more dangerous than riding a motorbike. It's certainly showing true in real life. I have simplified the figures, however these IMHO won't be far from the mark. 0.008% Chances of dying on motorbike. Maths as follows: Number of motorcyclists Killed or seriously injured 285 https://begin-motorcycling.co.uk/uk-motorcycle-accident-statistics/ Over Number of motorcyclists in uk 3.6 million. https://www.bikesure.co.uk/bikesureblog/2022/05/bike-capitals-britain/#:~:text=2021 saw 3.6 million licensed,on two wheels each year. O.014% Chance of a male comitting suicide: Male suicide UK 4,129: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/suicidesintheunitedkingdom/2021registrations Over Male population 29.2 million: https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/demographics/male-and-female-populations/latest

I think I would approach with @Gerontious thoughts in mind. However make clear @Old-codger view almost regardless of situation, you have been more than patient.

You know boats wait for the most opportune moment to embarrass you. It didn't happen if there weren't spectators.

Working however it seems my work are getting worse, I still not certain where yet and my shift starts in 12 hours.

I am disgusted with the Mods and Admin on this group. The Poor first time poster on this forum. Inocently asks a simple question, asking for the response in private. It's there really any harm in that? look at your response, it's disgusting. The person in question might have problems with anxiety, depression there mental health or a learning difficulty. Bullying and harassment, at the first opportunity has this forum got no compassion left? If they where feeling low think how they feel now now! They might be desperate, on the edge. How does that make you feel? I bet your so proud! You must take the time to support these people, every one matters. I mean why else would you ask in an open public forum how to compete an illegal activity and give a personal email address? I can think of no other reason Mental Health problems or a learning difficulty. We should all suggest groups that can help and support him. As after reading the above comments here will probably never return to this site again We should all sign his email up for some help groups. If every one signed them up for one support group we could get him endless emails offering endless free and paid advice. Think of the support that would offer, he may never forget us. @Tiggie I must commend you as being the only one offering sensible advise.

Check the tension on the clutch cable when clutch is out it should just be slack

If it's on a bumpy road I would say loose wiring connection somewhere. Location would be the challenge, someone with more knowledge will be along shortly to tell me I am wrong.

Good morning all ...

Me or the guy in the outside lane for several miles down the motorway. He was determined to sit there at 65mph, with an empty second lane. I would of liked to pass. Unable to before my junction, I pulled into the middle lane. He signalled in to the middle lane but could not, he had slowed sightly and I was inside him. Eventually he decided to change lane so I used horn to indicate my presence. He tried again and the third time I pulled into inside lane as it was now clear of traffic. Turned out he wanted to leave at the same junction as me, it was so tempting to hold him in second lane till it was to late. The look of desperation before I blipped the throttle to let him in behind was quite exquisite. It would of been some detour in rush hour if he had missed his junction.

Which one of you is it? https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJuG2h7K/ Not certain if I am asking about the bus driver (? @Stu) or biker? Oh but how I understand the frustration.

Get them to sail there own race ignore team racing aspect. Then your job is to antagonise the other team to let your novice keep ahead. Get it right you can get the other teams all working on you and let your novices escape. Your b novices will soon learn about covering, and tactics to help you out Worked for me at uni. Although RC might have different rules.

Sadly they don’t for me, have a great weekend those that make it,.

I know they are desirable at the moment but at some point you have to wonder. A £90k Landover anyone? https://dormobile.co.uk/vehicle-sales-details/?id=8a429eee87278747018728afbd1916b1

Oh god if they did that down here, it would be going off every 5 minutes. It’s not nicknamed “Gods Waiting Room” for nothing. I remember the first time I ventured into the city after lock down, I remembered people don’t automatically come fitted with shopping trolleys, walking sticks or frames. For those that think I am joking about ages a near by city not even famed for its youth however I will use as a standard: ”In the 2011 census the population of Winchester was 116,595 and is made up of approximately 51% females and 49% males. The average age of people in Winchester is 41, while the median age is higher at 42.” Now some local towns: ”In the 2011 census the population of Lymington Town was 5,844 and is made up of approximately 55% females and 45% males. The average age of people in Lymington Town is 52, while the median age is higher at 56.” In the 2011 census the population of Barton was 5,454 and is made up of approximately 54% females and 46% males. The average age of people in Barton is 57, while the median age is higher at 62. try your local area: http://barton.localstats.co.uk/census-demographics/england/south-east/new-forest/barton

What he says, even if you do it on a 125cc and teach yourself. Pass first time and it’s cheaper than another CBT. Plus if they change the rules and make it more difficult you have a licence so your fine.

And the leader that with modern eyes would never be allowed into parliament, to many opinions and decisions just would not be accepted in modern eyes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29701767 Oh and I didn’t get an alarm apothem I am on Three: https://inews.co.uk/news/emergency-alert-networks-transmit-alarm-phones-silent-2293250 it will be interesting to see how and if it gets used. Hopefully it’s kept for major events that are happening that have not had time to be broad cast on regular media. However if it’s left unused people won’t know how to react if it is, I have left mine on until it irritates me.

Good morning all.

The problem with quad lock is the buck my phone doesn’t have specific case the universal kits are to big. I must admit the vibration damper is one of the attractions of the one above. however with 2 bikes I am 1/3 of the way to dedicated sat nav. I am in no rush at the moment.

Good morning all

I was going to say camping on bike: Breakfast - cereal bar, Kenco 3in coffee sachet, Ride to local cafe for breakfast, Lunch - what ever I fancy from what ever shop/cafe/ whatever I stop at. Dinner - go to local shop bring back and cook or eat out. I always carry can of curry or chillie and some rice in case I find nothing of interest out. Beach fishing but my thing but suggestions: Pot noodles (chicken piri piri), Tin curry & rice, (put water in pan, remove label and open curry can place open end up in water, add rice round can - great until rice ready curry will also be ready) Pot shots/ cup soups, Kenco 3 in one coffee sachets, Chrisps, Quiche,

Tyre, old petrol, charges for rubble (2' square of plaster board that will be £10), you need to register your car reg plate prior to going (so no hire vehicles), make an appointment, arrive on time to join the qué, your trailer has to be the right size, park where instructed not near the convenient bin , you cannot recycle your oven before your fridge (no I am serious I had to take the fridge out of car to recycle an oven then put the fridge back in the car before driving 20' to recycle that). They are basically only interested in stuff they can take out of your car boot and put in the blue container to sell to car boot sale traders. That way they can say they recycle 99% of waste. What they don't accept then gets dumped in local lanes or in our case national park. https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/amp/new-forest-rangers-despair-as-fly-tippers-strike-three-times-in-24-hours-9152941/ It still goes on. I can only guess the staff are married to the local "Medical Receptionist" or as we know them, Dr's receptionists. Then have have regular socials and conferences to find new ways to make people's lives more miserable. Back on subject: Another use for old tyres put them on the box in your front garden that you keep your lawn mower in. We bought our house and didn't look in the unlocked storage box topped with a couple of old tyres for several weeks ( expecting more junk). Then found we had a by then a much needed free lawn mower. This security measure has now successfully guarded 3 lawn mowers.

I am with you. The manager knows me, the day they shut down for “modernisation” and addition of a mini Waitrose. I told her I would find another garage if turns out like the Co-op down the road. Where you wait for people to put there months shopping through the till separated for meet frozen and veg. It was one of 2 proper garages sold fuel, chocolate bars, coffee and a handful of spares. Now you can go admire all manner of fine and fancy foods, most of which will not fit on a bike. They do try and serve you quickly I did suggest a fuel only till.
