  1. Pretty much the same, @6.30am when i go to work its still dark and too bloody cold to uncover the bike and use it. give it a month or so all the bikes willbe unmothballed and your be complaining about too many rides
  2. similar incident this morning, was filtering along side stationary traffic on my left doing about 25mph, on my side of the road and a Chelsea tractor was so far over to his right, that he encroached on my lane, so close I felt the brush of his wingmirror.... Was definitely a moment I don't wish to repeat.... w**kers This woman came down my left side, she even went into the cycle lane else yeah I'd have been rear ended, and it would have been hard as she wasn't slowing down. I was very tempted to chase her through the lights and give her what for but then I'd have been in the wrong and lost my moral high ground Ah mate, sounds like a close one. Glad we both made it out alive. both live to die another day

  4. you might be wearing your helmet wrong, check the mechanism works fully, maybe adjust the position of the helmet so the visor works properly
  5. Clearly you do not play Space Engineers like my old school friend plays space engineers... SO MANY automated mining ships carving up so many asteroids at once... sounds like a reason to log into your server build some fighters and go blow the nuts out of those ships played space engineers for a while but just got bored with it... now rainbow six siege would be good.
  6. Just done a quote on the same (model) bike, but not the exact one, with all the mods stated.... 10,000.. That's ridiculous... And that's just doing 500 miles a year... Help you want help now you realise its not a good idea. dont buy it, as a noob, get something standard that you can learn to ride without looking like a tit when you get pulled by the pigs for no insurance and end up in court paying fines for a bike the police have crushed.. pass your tesT and then go buy a harley
  7. I have one of these 18 Quid local bike shop:
  8. although sad, its bringing media attention to Cancer once again, a plague of sorts that has been in the background for such along time. Most cancers are treatable, but those that arnt need to be researched and then killed. For each famous person I guess 100 normal people die in the modern world, more in less developed areas...... But as the Keanu reeves post on fb says: Keanu Reeves writes.. "My friend's mom has eaten healthy all her life. Never ever consumed alcohol or any "bad" food, exercised every day, very limber, very active, took all supplements suggested by her doctor, never went in the sun without sunscreen and when she did it was for as short a period as possible- so pretty much she protected her health with the utmost that anyone could. She is now 76 and has skin cancer, bone marrow cancer and extreme osteoporosis. My friend's father eats bacon on top of bacon, butter on top of butter, fat on top of fat, never and I mean never exercised, was out in the sun burnt to a crisp every summer, he basically took the approach to live life to his fullest and not as others suggest. He is 81 and the doctors says his health is that of a young person. People you cannot hide from your poison. It's out there and it will find you so in the words of my friend's still living mother: " if I would have known my life would end this way I would have lived it more to the fullest enjoying everything I was told not to!" None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else." He has a point, you never know when the reaper is coming, so go happy........

    Diy dream!

    problem being you'll have chavs in the store rather than australians
  10. was planning on small stops for drinks etc. but yeah hydro pack could be an idea. KC beginning of may you say....how long you going down for and where abouts?
  11. filtering .. don't really do that in the UK as car driver are w@nkers
  12. I plan to solo ride to my Father house.. not a big deal you say, but i live in Kent and He lives near Agde, south of France. I have 6 months to prep for it and im starting to look at bags and stuff so that im ready. I only need stuff for the journey and i plan to make 1 stop, so 2 days to travel down and same back with 4 days with the old man. Previously in the car i do the trip in 1 day 750 miles each way. and to be honest i dont enjoy it, but it means more time on actual holiday. I have 2 kreiga bags, a US20 and a US10, with tank bag adapter. I have a Good Richa Jacket, trouser and gloves, my boots are great as long as they stay dry.so for the actual ride and stay i think i have my kit sorted. I then started thinking about the what if's. Well i have AA cover so im cool with that, and Honda Assistance is worldwide so they told me, but im gonna check that. was thinking of getting a tyre repair kit and some extra fuses which make sense. Any suggestions and must have items. The route im taking will avoid all tolled autoroutes except 1, the millau viaduct. cant miss the view. so basically, calais to rouen, rouen to Orleans and then south via Clermont Ferrand, shadowing the A75 to bezier any advise and tips would be good.
