Hoggs

you lot are a nightmare. I think it just shows Rossi is a dick and his goofy friendly personal is just an act. however I also hate those sodding selfie sticks and have wanted to punch people who have them myself... but yeah pretty unnecessary

part of me thinks binder was just messing with everyone to make it more exciting for him

think he meant about getting the fuel pump replaced Phil

If you're gonna start picking on every thread that's gone wildly off topic you're gonna be busy for the next few months

hello, welcome and congrats on the pass R6 is a great bike, not as good as a zx6r but close

Yup always ride as if everyone is trying to kill you! Glad you're getting on well and nowt wrong with slowing alllll the way down when its dark and wet

Are we calling dibs on stuff yet?

New gloves (waterproof) New helmet cheek pads New visor And I'd like some black bike jeans but I have to go try them all on as womens biker gear sizing is literally someone just pulling numbers out of a hat

If only you knew someone in Spain....

Hiya! Welcome back

There's loads of places that do custom leathers, maybe try a few of them see if they will make you some gloves

heeeheeee! I almost did this a while back so always check the rear light now before leaving

We'll see you at next year's rally then

and thus begins the start of you having biker friends and weirdo friends who don't understand FYI biker friends will never laugh at you unless: you can't start the bike because it turns out the kill switch has been turned on but 20 minutes later you haven't realised this you turn up looking like you wet yourself because you forgot your waterproofs and got caught in a showerror you run out of petrol somewhere (but we'll be laughing whilst we come rescue you ) actually we'll laugh athe you all the time... but not for trying new stuff that you've always wanted to do and you're now doing because that's a dick move

I did that too! also if the rear is off noticeably on the notches it will feel crap. I had a rear puncture repaired ages ago and they didn't set it up properly and was horrible. a quick quarter turn on one side to balance it up felt loads better. it's my front that's all out of whack currently

OOOOH I did this on the road once and ended up with a broken foot! On the plus side it is a GREAT way to learn never to do it again! But glad you're mainly OK, sorry to hear about the delay in getting on with the tests but best to heal up fully so you don't botch up the healing (and there's a lot of us on here who have botched up the healing ) I did the biker down course a while back and the guy was saying fit is the most important thing as if it's too loose then your head and grey matter hit everything twice. Which is bad. So I'm not sure if a crack is too bad as long as all the padded bits did their job... *awaits to be corrected* Speedy and full recovery wishes to you!

Hello again! I remember doing about 20mph on my CBT and being utterly terrified. As in ARGHGHGHGGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH in my helmet for about 10 minutes terrified It will come with time (I am sure people will be along soon to confirm I do not have an issue with speed now ) but just gently increase it don't try and go from 30 to 60 in one go! As you become more competent with with actual riding and changing gears and all that silliness then your brain will free up more room for observing the road and you'll find it easier to go quickly as you don't have to spend as long thinking how to change gear or how not to stall when you stop or forgetting to cancel your indicator If you can afford a 125 to pootle about on then it's always good to get experience. Just don;t get a Chinese one Also bigger bikes don't feel as fast as the speed is "easier", less movement from wind and road bumps and the engine isn't working as hard so generally smoother at the higher speeds. Keep us updated

Top stuff Tony

Hmm I don't... *starts trawling*

Basically FIFA banned EVERYTHING so in theory there shouldn't be any bitching about things as EVERYTHING that is non standard kit/sponsors is BANNED. But as usual people like bitching about stuff saying FIFA have banned poppies because thats a better headline than FIFA have banned everything. They seem to think because we're playing Scotland and not Germany it's fine to wear them. I don't think in the football match they should wear them because them's the rules. Outside of football people can do whatever they want, although I do agree it's ridiculous that there is a witch hunt any time someone is seen on TV without one from mid- october onwards.

haha! Nice!

I have a not so secret love of them. BUT I would probably get annoyed at the lack of top speed and get a Kwak W800 instead

Well I can't argue with that Xreme I think Vinales and Marquez will probably take most of the next few years championships... do I think Rossi will get another one... hmmmm maybe with a bit of luck from other people binning it..... Do I want him to? No, not really

Well Dovi just proving he's the safer pair of hands! Ianonne is quicker but throws it down the road too much. Hopefully he will reign it in at Suzuki and help bring those guys back to the front

Only just managed to watch it YEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH DOVI!!!!
