  1. Some learner bikes are small, and aren't gong to work well for someone as tall as you. Best to phone up a few training schools near you and ask their advice; they'll know what bikes they have and which are going to be most suitable.

    Hospital bills

    Ouch, that all sounds painful. Hope you're recovering ok. Sorry, going to have to ask you some more questions in order to help - did you receive your treatment in the UK, or somewhere else? what's your nationality? what's your residency status?
  3. +1 for Hideout Leathers. They're just a few miles outside Cambridge, so not that far from you. I've not used them myself, but they're well regarded for custom alterations to leathers.
  4. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone comply with a stop sign.
  5. Perhaps go and do a couple of test rides?
  6. Hope you had a great day @fastbob
  7. Makes sense to stop them being on all the time if you think they might be confusing other drivers.
  8. Some classy laybys you've found yourself there, @Six30.
  9. Ok, keep me in the loop
  10. Its sad but true that there are always plenty of people around who would happily shop someone in order to get even with them or win some petty battle. But what kind of police force would think it a good idea to build its enforcement on that kind of behaviour?
  11. April for me is already booked up to the 24th.
  12. Must have been the little people!
  13. Might help if you say which area of London you're based in.
  14. Yamaha Virago is another to add to your list. Or this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202108316815483?advertising-location=at_bikes looks like a real cracker
  15. One trick I was told about when I was starting out is to make a conscious effort every now and then to relax your shoulders and arms. I was amazed how tense I could get, and it made a lot of different to ride with my shoulders and back more loosened up.
  16. Agree. Tom is great.
  17. Crap situation, @S-Westerly. Not sure I could hack a job where the employer takes you hostage.
  18. up to Scotland for week this Sunday. Bikeless
  19. I hadn't realised they're so hard to find The other one on autotrader looks ok as well
  20. This one looks good https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202109016867999
  21. Yup, you've summed it up right What you wanted was an A with nothing in column 12.
  22. The bike looks cracking. I like the black crash bars.

    Roads signs

    I know I've posted this before, but it's too good not to repeat it
  24. Not so much, I ride my own way, a lot of it is based on RoSPA, but it's just how I ride. It's more I find that my planning has become sloppy.
