If he's a fried have a quiet chat along the lines 'can you stop the licence ribbing it's starting to get irritating.' If that doesn't work put the stop sign carrying gobshite on his backside.

Talent for sure but needs gelding to stop all that biting

you have my sympathies, I was plagued by them in childhood. In my late 30's the quack said very unlikely to get it anymore, well i had it 2 months ago in my 40's. Took 3 weeks to properly shift.

thanks for the advice, lots to think about. No thanks to chav's moaning about MY budget. Get a life. donnk

sorry forum, i feel like i've hit a nerve. not really sure why, I work bloody hard and if I want decent gear then I have no apologies. donnk

That would be a rear facing bright headlight I assume !

not to be too ostentatious, £500 doesn't go far these days. The disco is £120 just to fill with diesel and that don't last long dragging a 3 ton digger! I think 10k ish budget in total isnt a great deal in the scheme of things. Lots of people spend that on sky and fags a year!

anyone recommend a good shop in the midlands with a good range of kit to try ? I know the budget seems a lot but I just spent half of it putting a set of tyres on the disco now to see if the accountant will let me put it through the books as workwear.....

Joeman Thanks for the reply, no wet weather riding for me, its purely a hobby. Maybe winter if its dry. Agree on the 2 piece, I need to find a good shop in the midlands where I can try on a bunch of stuff. What do you mean hi vis doesn't work ? Looks come secondary to safety for me.
