top helping!

Fun fact they're also the recommended paint on the Kawasaki website (which is how i heard about them!)

someone I used to work with cycled down the A34 near Oxford more or less daily.

......aw sweet innocent Geoff

haaaa it was tempting

Ok you need a bit more info.. like budget, style, location Also bikers are chatty folk so you'll need to work on that

oh crap yes I mean right turns and left bends I'm just going to edit that earlier post....

DISCLAIMER I'm not trained in any way these are just my thoughts and observations 1. Does your headlight work?? wow in some of those darker areas it didn't look like it illuminated the road at all! Maybe adjustment needed? Or maybe my phone just making it look worse than it it 2. right hand turns, you tend to cut over the centre line of the road you're turning into - try going a bit further forward before turning to ensure you turn into the centre of the lane. 3. left bends, you seem to drift a bit to the kerb, especially on country roads you want to get over to the centre of the road to increase your visibility of what's coming. 4. General road position seems ok. 5. Pulling over... I think you did so 4 times? The last one was a bit sketchy as there was a car coming the other way which meant you were more of a hindrance stopping where you did. Make sure you don't get lost looking behind so much you don't assess what's ahead 6. A car was pulling out of a side road at one point, as it was safe to do so don't be afraid to cross the central line to make yourself more visible and give yourself as much escape room as possible. 7. I think it was around 3 minutes in there were some lights that had been green for ages and it felt like you sped up approaching them then had to brake a bit harder than needed when they changed (again I'm watching on my phone so open to corrections) 8. Whilst we all do it, make sure you don't stop in the cycle boxes on your test

I dunno.... I've seen most of the people on here

Adding to this- I have Halvarssons jeans and yeah On Yer Bike has a pair that's been down the road at 60mph and they've held up well. But defo not waterproof and they take even longer than normal jeans to dry out if you do get caught out

And you missed my point about leaving it alone. So let's end that train of posts or I'll start deleting them and you can bitch about how mean I am.

in addition to wot Manxie said... in regards to pinlock misting... Hoggfather helpfully pointed out the lugs are not round but more an oval which means you can tighten the pinlock by rotating them which solved my issue.

oi keep this to advice rather than taking a pop at people. First off your instructor sounds a bit of a dick I know some very good riders who have had an off and it's knocked them right down Experience should help but you have to be able to push yourself slightly to get over the issues As mentioned above moving over to let cars pass is dangerous and will encourage you to ride closer to the kerb which is bad road positioning as you won't be as visible. If you feel you are holding people up HOLD your centre of lane position until you find a safe place to fully pull over, stop and let them pass. Think about your accident. Were you aware there was a junction? Had you slowed? Had you moved slightly to the centre of the road to improve your visibility to other users?

they won't stay that colour for long do they have armour at joints/ back? bargain price

I think Weiss is a good brand and it has armour... so... yeah? It appears to be out of stock though

[mention]-Elliot-[/mention] I've shorten the postcode... can't be too careful nowadays

wuss

ooh this is an excellent point it is a known fault

Yup as everyone else said go for the DAS otherwise you'll get this feeling again in a few months time

take the van van

[mention]fastbob[/mention] that's awful! if they don't reply I'd report them to ebay. they often won't help until you've contacted the seller but as you have they should step in. Also they side with the buyer most of the time especially if you've paid with PayPal

I think it's a fiver or so for most phone models but still decent value. [mention]Rodders[/mention] this one Catuo 1200M BT Interphone Bluetooth Motorbike Motorcycle Helmet Intercom Headset for 6 Riders, Great for Ski Atv Riding Karting https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M4M8DTU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kR5wAbNDBQEFS They're ok in light rain but heavy prolonged rain does make it go funny for a few days.

I have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272819293775 yes it's cheap but I've put it on and off many times with no issues, case securely clips on and the bar mount is adjustable so should fit all bars. Also been rained on and held up fine. I have a cheap Bluetooth headset too for voice instructions as this stops you looking down constantly

I think the problem is without seeing what internal damage has been done there's no real way of telling... but it is your head so is it worth the risk. Also YAY SHOPPING
