  1. You won't be first or last to have similar issues, I know I did. Just go with a different school. Learn from the good they taught and go again. Better you find the rubbish instructors on your CBT
  2. As I understand the draw is normally only minimal when it's not charging. Then I am paranoid about flat batteries, when bike is off everything should be off...
  3. The change charge is that a reducer to 5v for usb? Does it isolate when bike turned off? Even with nothing plugged in they can take a little current.
  4. It sometimes used to work with early coded radios, something to do with early silicone technology. Pretty certain anything since the 80's and it's no longer works...
  5. I pay a mechanic for most jobs on the car, I do most on the bikes myself... Then if I cannot fix the bike I can always take the other bike or the car....
  6. Once a week should be enough to keep battery fit IMHO how old is the battery? Unless you have alarm or parasitic draw. have you considered just replacing battery? https://batteryclerk.co.uk/products/royal-enfield-bullet-electra-efi-500cc-motorcycle-replacement-battery-2011-2014?variant=31755284152363&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cse&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2or8BRCNARIsAC_ppyZPKTdZbQ6XBhnRuwWRAYEsn6zsDr_3D_B7wQ85qcipxZ01jYilK_IaAvtJEALw_wcB
  7. I don't need glasses to ride yet thank heavens, I also don't trust the sprays having tried them before I learned about pin lock. Yes they work they stop your visor steaming up to a point, then at that point the hole visor misted up with no warning. I preferred without spray where it would mist in corners first and I could crack visor before it became a problem.
  8. I gave up on sprays and potions and just wipe it...
  9. With 2 strokes outboards anyway, you often cannot go wrong with a good fuel additive clean fuel and an Italian tuneup. Take it for a hard ride... They are also sensitive to inlet air pressure and no filter might not help. On the subject of running backwards the was a yacht engine that to go in astern you stopped and restarted to run backwards. We also had a boat with 3 cylinder later diesel that if you started by hand would do 3 revolutions backwards before running forward. Alarming when the starter handle went 3 turns backwards with 1/2" clearance from your nads..
  10. Looking it over Crosby and just south of bundle sands to Great Burbo Bank the other side of the Mersey... Geeky habit of mine, trying to recognize places from photos. Looks like a cracking spot. Can you get to the iron men on the beach from there?
  11. There are many types of winter and riding... Wet Cold Wet & Cold Road conditions Cold Cold & wet Icy* Snow* *Conditions I avoid riding in. Try 30 minutes try an hour build up gain experience... Learn what works for you. For me heated grips & some sort of fairing... Layers I can add and remove, zip up. Up to an hour it's not too bad sheet that you need to know how you like to stay warm.. Some get technical by base layers and work up... I go cheap but find what works. Waterproof is Gortex or try your luck. If your wet is it sweat or rain? Where did it get in? Was it a leak or did it get in up sleave, down neck over boots? Trousers that don't need braces are probably not high enough water can go up hill!
  12. I want to say on the Wirral, but cannot recognise the seafront. It's overlooking Liverpool bay I believe go on our me out of my misery....
  13. A 4k bike that's been on market for 2 years yet cannot be easily found for under 3k second hand... Even battered and used days to me people like them.. Most new vehicles loose 1/4 of there value in 2 years even beaten and battered...
  14. I agree accept even going to the shops imagine the damage a tin of beans could do or glass jar if you went for a slide ... Says he who puts a back pack on to go to work, with plastic sandwich box in
  15. My first thought was is the bike new to you? Was the last owner known to the police for his antics? or similar bike in area with owner known for his antics? Or as [mention]Six30[/mention] says they might just of been checking you out? where they WPC's?
  16. Easily done... Someone told me the first time you drive an automatic bring your left foot under the seat, saves some embarrassment Then when I had the scooter the first time I stopped I pulled the "clutch" (read brake on scooter) in came to a most unfaltering halt nearly dropped it For a long time I would occasionally pull the clutch in to change gear normally when going for an overtake, it does not have the desired affect .
  17. Greentree Cafe Larkhill - Near Amsbury Not for weekend warriors as they are open Monday to Friday.. This is a lovely cafe (if you fancy something other than a burger), that I have been frequenting on and off for years. Some great roads in the vicinity... £4.50 plus freshly made, friendly welcoming staff... They even price the drinks sensibly Tea £1.50 Coffee £2.50 Bike parking I have always parked down the side by the bins out of the way and safe, or in parking bays opposite if one available.. https://www.facebook.com/thegreentreecafe The Green Tree Cafe & Deli House, The Packway, Larkhill, Amesbury SP4 8PY 01980 655011 https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZE8wSqXr98D8F6JT7 PS Admin if this is to blatant a advert please remove but as a stop they are my choice and hinted they might not be there for ever if they don't get the turn over up
  18. If it can hold that up a hill, it will be quicker than most 125cc out there..
  19. Which is quite scary, I have taken the opinion that its not top speed causes accidents its how quick you get there... A new rider could easily find themselves going to quick to easy on a bike like that... I looked at electric bikes both "pedal assist" and "motor", I could deal with the range on one of my bikes. How ever it was still cheaper to run a motorbike for many years than an electric bike.. They will come and have no issues with that but they have to work and be affordable or how it may end up the only choice....
  20. Hi and welcome.... Well that ain't going to happen, full licence in hand riding 125. 3 months is long time.... I lasted less than 3 weeks if I recall...
  21. Thank you Google beat me....
  22. What bike does Johnny Blaze use in his jumps before he becomes Ghost Rider?

    Top Tip .

    I also have a full set of Whitworth's as well as Metric, AF, Imperial and BA Whitworth's usually need a larger hammer though! Can you do the taps and dies to match? Cannot claim full set but I have some.. I have inherited from several generations of hoarders. Sadly I had no space for lathe that could of produced any size...
  24. You called me a troll [mention]XTreme[/mention] Is that a compliment or a insult.. When your not being Trolled by the Moderator but the forum Admin?
  25. I would say more than handy my last phone spent 4 hours under water before tide went out. It's next swim was a bit deeper and I never recovered it.... Present phone I wash frequently under the tap....
