  1. Sorry to hear your troubles fella, There are companies that buy properties below market value, I dont know if this would be an option?

    In regards to your ex, I've been there, wasted thousands on rubbish solicitors. I did however learn about a website called families need fathers.

    Where I got loads of advise and even managed to get a Mckenzie Friend to help me prep legal paperwork and petition the courts.


    Hope things go your way eventually.

  2. I did my CBT with an instructor on a 4 to 1 basis. We more or less just jumped on the bikes. Learned basic control, ie speed up slightly, slow down slightly and stop. then he slowly introduced gears and mouvers. 2 would do one manouver over and over again on one side of the playground and the other 2 would practice other manouvers on the other. Yes 4 to 1 sounds a lot but i felt he managed it well. Looked for what area's needed improving on, and I felt that went quite well.

    After lunch he took two out on the road whom he felt was most confident. and left the other 2 to keep practicing manouvers.



    So dont be put off if its not a 1 to 1, you can find decent schools out there whom can still give you the care and attention you need.

    You'll get there eventually. Just take your time.

  3. I purchased a zontes tiger, did me very well for the two years I had it, even had a road trip on it, down to great yarmouth and back, roughly 322 miles in all. Only got rid cox I went onto pass my DAS and bout a bigger bike. Sold my zontes to a neighbour whom uses it to commute to and from work.

    hasn't given him any issues and thats about 3 years ago now.

  4. Im just commented from personal experience.

    I've been caught twice in the last 3 years and both times they said I could request to see photographic evidence, if so required before making a formal declaration as to whom was driving.


    This might just be a humberside police thing but it did happen and on one occasion I did ask for proof as I wasn't even sure how I'd been caught, as I wasn't intentionally speeding, well I thought i wasn't lol

  5. my friend and I both bought a £30 bluetooth intercom system from ebay. done us quite well over the last 3-4 years.

    once we go over 60mph its gets a little hit and miss hearing what the other is saying but at lower speeds it works fine, even with me wearing ear defenders.

    We are lookg at getting £65 ones purely becuase we now have another buddy whom comes out biking with us and we all want the option to be able to speak at the same time.

  6. Its acutally Humberside police operating in my neck of the woods.

    Ive attached a screen shot of where he was hiding when I was caught. Just infront of the national sign, on the left side.

    I know its no excuse for speeding, but I was distracted by the boy being naughty in the back of the car, he'd of seen me looking over my shoulder.

    Looked round and saw him. Didn't know if i was speeding or not. That is his usual spot to hide, So I'm normallly aware

  7. he was, Im just used to them having their bikes, right next to them. As there was two builders down the road pointing towards him. i thought he was working with them.

    I usually dont speed through the villages here. It seemed to cause quite the debate on facebook.

  8. thankfully I wasn't speeding, but I as riding through a local country village yesterday and I saw what looked like a conveyancer and his equipment going about his daily job.

    As I was practically on top of him, I noticed it was a policeman with his motorcycle parked down a country lane. out of site to his side.


    I thought all speed traps had to be highly visible these days? is this not the case?

  9. my friend and I have had a set of these for a bout 3 years, whilst riding on our 125's was perfect for chatting.

    Now on our bigger bikes, I find converstation difficult anything over 60mph.


    But for using on its own with my satnav/phone. I can hear very well even with ear defenders in.


    Thinking it might be time eventually to get a more expensive one, just so we can chat at faster speeds.

    But all in all a good unit for the price. good luck with it.

  10. I took a leased works car to an halfords auto center once, the guy who was standing in as manager couldn't seem to care less that he was there or how he spoke to customers.

    I asked for paper work (that I usually expect from a garage when I have taken cars in for a service) to which he shruggs and goes you dont get none, it goes to the lease company.

    As I'm responsible for the vehicle I wanted paperwork. Sorry you cant have any.


    Snotty email to the head office, got me an apologetic phone call from an area manager and a free MOT. Not that Id be going in there again anyway
