Peter Grimes - Benjamin Britten

At least you're allowed to smack cyclists' arses

Oh I see Rennie............ no probs Why is Hoggs green?............. is she like the hulk? or Princess fiona or summat Princess Fiona!! Oh please please make me a mod now and I promise to do nothing wicked.

tbh, that bike sounds too high to be comfortable, for someone whose still gaining confidence on the road. On the DRZ, with a shuffle to the side, I can have one foot flat, or else get both feet down but tip toes only. And I wouldn't want to have learned like that - I would have been worried about ending in situations that would have been difficult to control. Like has been said, try sitting on the bike without a seat and see if feels more secure. If so there might be ways of lowering the bike - either a shorter seat or by lowering hte suspension a tad - that would help you out.

Reminds me of visiting Palermo, in Sicily. Narrow alleys, filthy streets, buildings quite literally falling apart, shops the size of garden sheds. Driving beyond crazy. It was like being in Cairo... except in Cairo I've always felt safe.

[mention]Gerontious[/mention] is right. If you have a strong hankering after Calabria, then go for it, but if you're after a blast on the bike stick to the Alps and the Dolomites. If, when you get to Trieste, you're not ready to turn around and go home, then head on into Slovenia.

Watch out for that Bonio guy.... the quiet ones are the worse Saint Bonio, to you.

Sorry - I can't see how that fits? It's an "out-by-one" error. It matches "Miss Otis Regrets", but by the time [mention]Muttly[/mention] had pressed "submit", Edith Piaf had come regretting nothing.

$6.50 for nuclear cheese toastie The good thing about bad American food is that it's cheap... when it loses that benefit, there's nothing much left to like. The Northern Lights pic is amazing.

Hi Alan, Sounds like you been through a rough run of things As for the theory, the pass if valid for two years from the date you take it, so it sounds as if you will likely have to take it again. Not sure about which bikes are easiest to modify, but a cruiser style bike - or any lower bike - is likely to be easier to handle.

Yeah that's like half a rear GS shock right? They don't call it a shock for nothing.

well done passing your cbt got mine this week to Nice one [mention]sharon[/mention]!

Good grief that's a frightening price. That said, I'd always buy the most comfortable, well-fitting lid I could afford. And also I wouldn't buy a lid that didn't have an internal visor - they're so freakin' useful.

As above. Get booked in now and you'll have a full licence before the end of September. Then you can keep riding the 125, but without L plates, or you're free to swap it for a bigger bike if that's what you choose to do.

The real issue is that Windows Phone is a dying platform. I've lost count of the number of major app providers that have withdrawn support for Windows Phone, ebay included: there is no longer a native ebay app for you to download. WhatsApp discontinued support at the beginning of this year. Sheesh, even Microsoft have officially stopped supporting Windows Phone. No-one's going to put the poor platform out of its misery, though, it's just been left to a slow and lingering death. Given this, you have three options: 1) Get an android phone and let google harvest your personal information 2) become an Apple Fan Boy or 3) wait a few months and then choose 1, 2 or 3. I loved my Windows Phone. It was the best phone I've ever had. But I ditched it and went to Android earlier this year, and I'm not looking back.

Awesome bikes. Most of the ones you see a really beaten up. That one looks like a cracker.

Oh good grief... Why did I have to look????

That's just my online persona. In real life I'm a bit of an ar*ehole.

It's awesome isn't it... Here's more or less the same journey, at dusk

DO re MI Rogers and Hammerstein

Norfolk - book me a place now

No... at least not yet. 2 years on and her CBT has expired and she's still nowhere near ready. Not enough time to practice mainly. And now she's wrecked both achilles tendons, so she's confined the house until she can stop limping. So hopefully retake the CBT next spring and pootle around for another year.
