  1. Someone (not you) said really you should only do it on bikes pre 2003 as the sidestands were made of tougher metal. MAY BE BULLSHIT I DON'T KNOW
  2. Didn't realise [mention]rennie[/mention] was going
  3. To be fair this exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago and I did think "huh, I guess that Mod1 stuff does come in handy sometimes" as I merrily pushed it backwards. [mention]Slowlycatchymonkey[/mention] I did ask the examiner if I could take a minute after that part of the test and he said "sure! it's not timed!" so yeah no rush and I'm sure you'll nail it next time
  4. *sigh* Yes Google will tell you places but if you get a personal recommendation from someone it's better than 10 recommendations by people who could have been held at knifepoint to write nice things
  5. Aye and I totally agree on paper said so to the OH when boring him with the story ... but in London we all try get out in any gap and if you see someone start to indicate you do assume they'll turn. Plan for them not to though!
  6. Nomination: Man in people carrier who was approaching a left hand turn. Indicated left. started slowing down. Pizza guy in said turn waiting to come on to main road started going... people carrier sailed across junction and parked on the other side. Pizza guy slammed on brakes. Car behind pizza guy who had also starred going slammed on brakes. people carrier guy stupidly oblivious to everything because he was a stupid dickhead
  7. Well. That should be.... interesting.
  8. Thought Rea was a done deal
  9. Hello! Never heard of a bike that has to be moving to go down gears. So would say maybe you're not quite engaging it properly either not enough force or clutch not in. Although I suppose if it only does it when you're out maybe some kind of issue when hot. I'm sure someone helpful will be along soon
  10. Holy crap glad he's ok. possibly one of those weird cases where getting knocked out meant he bounced well and saved him from further injury
  11. ditching Kwak?? boooo
  12. Not in Sussex or Manchester, apparently. London has enough to go round, I'll send some up
  13. I had a knobhead up my arse the other day then hooned past me at 50 in a 30. I don't have L plates - Some people are just knobheads!! Don't let them distract you from what's going on in front, if you want to turn into a side road or layby to let them past do so. As above don't get into the habit of riding by the kerb and don't let one person ruin your riding enjoyment
  14. Yes. Because I bought something from Goat.
  15. Hello and welcome The CBT is valid for 2 years so if you haven't done additional tests in that time you will need to redo the CBT. Hope that helps
  16. ...shall I not mention I'd already liked his thank you post to me
  17. Hello! if you start a new post then select attachments under the text box you can upload images

  19. Hoggfather is still very bitter about this
  20. oh dear. hope he makes a speedy and full recovery
  21. I had my fork seals done a couple weeks ago and they have started leaking again so back to the garage it went. Nothing out the ordinary so they're a bit confused as to why they started leaking. Replacing stuff and see how it goes this time The joy of biking
  22. happy (belated) birthday!!

  24. Hoggs
