  1. Just wrote my first ever programme! In python. Probably look somewhat inelegant Might make it into a handy Web app for often asked questions. age = int(input("How old are you? ")) if age >= 24: print ("Direct access") elif age >= 21 <24: length = int(input("How many years have you been riding? ")) if length >=2: print ("After 2 years riding on an A2 licence you can take an unrestricted DAS test") else: print ("Once you've been riding on an A2 licence for 2 years then you can do your DAS on an unresitricted bike") elif age >=19 <21: print ("A2 licence") elif age >=17 <19: print ("CBT") else: print ("When you're 17 you can do your CBT")
  2. Haha lol welcome back. Errr dunno. Not sure how long I've been posting for. But, insurance is expensive nowadays, that's like 80% of what people care about
  3. That's the best way - limits protect licences! My bike is limited to 186mph.

    Welcome! I had an mt125, did my test on an 07 and bought a 10. Love the mts.
  5. Hello from a 'if I wanted a tourer I'd get a car' (but will probably change my mind in 5 years time) sports bike owner. I love turkey, spent 7 months there in covid.
  6. I think it's important to be able to ride faster than cops so you can get away if needs be.
  7. Bloody hell you must be jacked. I'm about the same height and weight and in pretty decent shape but I'm guessing 20% bf or so
  8. Fair enough, but what would your advice be to someone trying to lose weight? I suspect most studies conducted are by someone involved in the multi billion dollar diet and fitness industry. No money to be made in telling people to eat fewer calories. Men's health sure thinks it's super complicated to get abs! Subscribe to their plan and they'll tell you though.
  9. Go vegan like me. You can't get enough calories in you to get fat of you don't eat sausages and cheese. And also, exercise is good. You need to raise your heat rate regularly and move your joints so deffo do that too. Trackdays do both of these things... Kinda. Eat healthy, and exercise. Hey I should coin that phrase!
  10. Yeah. Simple calories in and out. You can eat a piece of cake which has 500 calories then run 5 miles to burn it off (roughly), oorrr.... Just not eat the cake in the first place. The latter is much easier, even if it feels hard to not eat the cake, 5 miles sucks. Eat filling, low calory food like homemade soup (very very simple), porridge, and protein shakes.
  11. Why, if you know what tossers we all are, would you want to join us?!
  12. Cool! Do you think the course would benefit someone who can both knees down easily on a racetrack? Ie someone with ample confidence already.
  13. I px'd with via wigan motorcycles - I had a great experience. Was a brand new bike so not much to go wrong but still.
  14. Pro tip: book 2 mod 2s when you book the 1st. Either you fail and have another lined up or you pass and lose £80 or whatever, win win.
  15. I suspect it's also down to ebay and amazon just trying to shoehorn everything to fit your requirements, even if they're not fit for purpose, and sellers 'having to' spam the descriptions of items or risk being on page 6. I dunno, annoying either way. Hopefully you can return the easily enough?
  16. Why do you have the give him the keys? Does he have the old ones?
  17. People hate being told things they do, or believe in are wrong, or overhyped. Like marinating food (doesn't 'permiate the flesh' at all). Or if you tell a mother that the sugar rush doesn't exist and they get offended like you insult their children. 'I've seen it myself' yeah that's called an anecdote love, double blind placebo controlled tests have proved the sugar rush to be non existent, sorry.
  18. Did you see where he compared the £550 dianese own brand water resistant jacket with the dianese £1000 goretex one? He used science! I'm glad of it, I know which one I'd choose. Plenty of people don't have your wealth of experience. I'm sure you like your goretex, he didn't say it was bad, or that goretex owners are in some way deluded, just that the cheaper alternative was better.
  19. Yeah I saw that, Ryan is a legend. I had assumed goretex was the badger's nadgers but no.
  20. Welcome! Er okay, don't run with scissors. Anything else you wanna know?
