Happy birthday stranger!

This is a quote from the rider, I'm not sure on the source but it was posted on reddit;

My mistake was too much front brake when needing to stop quickly, chucked me down the road. I think a few others have done that too, so I'd say learn to emergency stop safely. It feels weird not to slam on when you need to stop very quickly and you definitely get a bit of poo in your undies when you do it but it's far better than sliding your bike down the road.

If no one agrees do we have to vote again?

Good point [mention]Joeman[/mention] where's your local polling station? I'm coming to stick a green party vote down in your name.

Happy birthday mate!

My area is a Labour area, and it won by 10000 votes last time it's not really going to change. The person I wanted to vote for instead doesn't even live within 30 miles of my constituency, really pee'd me off for some reason. Made me change my mind again .

I'm hating the social media influence on the election, I know little about politics and try and keep it about manifestos when the time comes. However I've changed my mind several times in the build up just because strong supporters of either party have been flat out offensive/abusive to the opposite party voters. I've seen Labour & Conservative supporters basically ridiculing someone who may want to vote for a party other than theirs. For people like me who are really undecided it's totally off-putting, it makes me less likely to vote for the party the support!

Check the ignition coil, if it's cracked/broken water will get in when wet and cut out. Then as it dries it will start again. I had the exact same thing with an old car.

More weight = more rolling resistance so more pressure required to overcome this.

I was made up for Dean too, seems a decent lad I was hoping he was going to hold onto that lead.

The fella with the pint is my hero .

I passed mine in Feb! With a good instructor it's a doddle, it's a bit nerve wrecking but if you can control the nerves you'll have no problem at all! Don't worry about speed, that will come eventually and feel normal as you get a little experience .

Yes, you can . You've got until the CBT expires to pass your test, regardless of how many attempts you need.

I've been following the build on facebook, really interesting stuff! I wont be able to make it so make sure you get a video of it going! I'm keen to see it

That's aimed at young people, but there's just as many middle aged people doing exactly the same things as he describes. The problem isn't young people, it's technology and the world advancing and changing the way the world functions not just young people.

Ive just got a new pair of gloves so my old ones are going. They're a Medium or Large though, but they've got knuckles like you describe. I can get a pic tomorrow for you.

It looks good though mate and it's well worth taking your time, it's easy to scrap a job.

You're life's going to be easier with that Centre stand, as bob says just improvise a way to keep it on the back wheel.

Sheet work is fun, but I'm well shite at it

I'm slowly climbing. Think Ive got Maverick and Zarco

Hope you and the bike are ok @bonio
