  1. Now I think it's unfair to say that. It suggests there's something wrong with being drunk in the morning, which there is not.
  2. I've always wanted a sports bike since I was a lad, ideally a yamaha r1/6 But I'm thinking that might be too much bike for a first! Mod 1 is booked, can't wait! Nah - go for it!
  3. I thought she was doing quite well until the crash. Looked like a rally drive through those slaloms. I sometimes ride in Bexhill - I'll be more careful next time.
  4. Find out where the examiner lives and do a poo on their doorstep. In a wide figure of 8. That'll learn em.
  5. Actually this is literally the case for me - a 125 was cheaper than a train ticket (and quicker including the 20 minute walk to the station) or cheaper than a car parking permit. I just checked my monthly ticket - it's now £336 per month add to that the £4.80 per day car park fees on the days I drive to the train station and it would almost certainly be cheaper for me to ride a motorcycle to work. I could buy a brand new GS1200 and finance it for less money per month and have another bike to play with... Its tempting.. but Sadiq Khan wants to ban all Motorbikes from London so I'm not taking the risk and have to suffer the trains instead. How's long's your commute? You have a couple of bikes already - no need to buy a new one. Plus of he bans them then just sell it.

  7. Okay I will! As soon as its nice and sunny. On a weekend. Thank you.
  8. Thanks guys - I need all the mechanical help I can get!
  9. Cool - sounds like chain lube then. Thanks chaps.
  10. My dealer serviced my 3 month old bike and the next day this leaked from the front sprocket area (but I believe that's also the oil thingy place?). They said it chain lube but its very thick. Doesn't smell. Any ideas?!
  11. I assumed everyone did an intensive course. I'd ridden a 125 for a year and did a 4 day das and passed clean (well, almost - 1 minor in mod 1). First time pass rate is quite high in my area. You can check online.
  12. Are those cafe racer style casual jackets any good in a crash?
  13. I am cooler in my leathers than my textiles. They're not really perforated and today is the first hot day I rode in them ever, but I was perfectly temperate even after 50 miles. But I was riding quickly, not idling in traffic.
  14. This got me googling mandatory vs advisory speed limits. I thought only round red signs were mandatory and rectangular ones before bends, at flashing 20mph signs etc were advisory. Anyway, what I've just learned is that these on the motorway aren't mandatory - woohoo! The bottom one. Thanks.
  15. Supercar track day for me today then birthday on Herts. Otherwise I would most definitely have joined you!
  16. Gonna be raining Sunday! But noted just in case it's not - thanks.
  17. I do know and I owe you a callback! Might be around Sunday - I'll let you know.
