I agree, passed my test at the beginning of last month, I see alot of knobheads on the road, car, bike, cyclist, van, pedestrian. What can you do about them? give them room, i give myself 1-2 car lengths ... but im new to all this eben though riding a 125 gave me an idea. You will "risk" assess eash mile you do until it becomes second nature. filtering is easy, take your time and expect muppets, going fast gives you less time to react and will cause an accident.... Only use speed speed to get out of a situation or avoid one. not trying to be a killjoy, but its the same on any vehicle, you wanna have fun and enjoy it... well learn and live to eenjoy it along time. i drive my car more agressively now than ever, because after 20+ years driving, having a PCV licence and now my bike licence i know that little route from east grinstead to tunbridge wells that in the bikers britain routes books is a lovely road, but full of tractors and old biddies. in my car i can travel th entire route at 60 mph with 2 ease off corners in the car..... cant do that on the bike yet as im still learning it....I know it can do it its my confidence to do it. there will ALWAYS BE muppets, but like everything else, show them a bit of respect, even if they dont return it, and you'll saty alive longer than id you say f**k 'em and get in a bad situation. feck me sound like my old man

if theyare similar to mine . undo the lock nut and then holding the mirror stationary, undo the bolt on the mount. mine has 2 opposite threds so when you unwind the mirror, the securing piece in the brake/clutch lever mount has an opposite thread... just an idea

2 years AA cover £5500 get free CB500f.

Question, does the bike have an inline fuse connected to the battery? I had one on my 125, it did this kind of thing. check the fuse, removed it from the holder and tug the ends of the fuse. my fuse looked fine until we removed from the holder and found the cap has desoldered/corroded so would make connection and then go over a bump and it would move and disconnect the battery... new fuse and bingo all sorted. just an idea

dont mind rain if im already on the bike....its before i start, when i mind:P

ill be on the beasty in the picture, pretty sure ill be othe only one with one, be happily surprised if im not..... see you at the start point.

That was good, I lead it last year due to a fault with Carsten's bike. Was a real nice day... just don't leave cider in your top box like one member did... you can imagine the ending to that story. lol, well i have joined and signed up for the ride to rye for a bag of chips, providing weather is stable ill join it.

sounds like a job for our resident youtube mechanic.....Someone call Tamsen

I have - many many moons ago when I was a student after a night in a smoky club I would febreeze myself when I got in. Never broke out in hives so I reckon it's fine Classy. lol

you floss your helmet?

sacrificial chinese bike for Rant, Glorian and everyone else for us to destroy as a blessing to the biker gods?

I do its called a Honda CB500f, hopefully that will change this weeked .MUHAHAHAHAHAHHAH... although the missus is already moaning and i havent even fitted it yet.... probbly the fact that she dozed off last night and i i blew a raspberry down a tube at her and woke her up

We're waiting untill the rally Stu Aw Stu... as to the O.P. a New exhaust would be cheaper and easier. painting the exhaust make sure you use heat resistant paint, and sand/scuff the surface of the exhaust first to give the paint something to bind on

We will be good friends I still rate the CK1 125 naked sport, just the pulsar needs to be destroyed

maybe a good wash. I find if you use your helmet alot and dont look after it, it can smell pretty ripe. so remember to clean it and let it air dry after each use when possible.... don't want any nasty bacteria build up.

ok ill try and makie it 100 mile trip should be easy id weather is ok

maidstone close enough just passed my test but still ride like im on a 125

my nomination goes tot he orange s1000rr rider that was in the wrong lane (right turn only) hoping to jump the traffic. only to find the car in front of him stopped dead and he almost hit it. Way to show the new rider how its done.

pretty much...

Saaauff London you say, you can only join if you have a passport and the relevent jabs

LMRC is LOndon Motorcycle riders club?

theres a brave new world waiting for you Rant

the 250cc-300cc market is big in us/aus and asia, its just small in this country.. but its growing. my bikes in having its first service and they have loaned me a cbr250r and tbh its light, agile and quick enough.... would i swap it for my 500... doubtfull as the noise is all wrong but then its only a single not a twin

I have 2 tickets for this, one of them might be going spare, wont know until nearer the time.... ill probably go first weekend, as i have the time off already

throw the bike away save the money on paint.... I like Kymco's but the pulsar i had tried 3 times to kill me... they all must be destroyed
