Excellent mate! YOu say A2, double check that - it should be A on yours! I only mention it as Liveware Problem mentioned a similar thing (A2 is restricted)

My L Plates are rounded off front & back - I always thought it wasn't allowed! It appears rounding off is fine! https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/l-plate-size-rules/l-plate-sizes

Pillion seat comes off, just strap it through there and make sure it's back on properly and you're good to good. .

Thanks again everyone! We do, how you fairing for the ride on 22/04?

Nice one mate! It's mad isn't it how much things change in 12 months. I'm coming up on 12 months in April and my DAS is taking a little longer but I hope to have passed at least by then!

Thanks everyone! I brought cake for all lat

hmm but you're always wrong so... There's only one way to settle this Please help ! The government website says they "should" be removed. Which if it was a legal requirement I think it would say "must".

Im pretty sure it isn't illegal, I think it's just frowned upon.

J&S there's a few about they've got plenty of gear and helpful staff who will advise you on sizes and fit for your lid.

I noticed my vents last summer and look what I'm riding .

Yano when you've got a water infection... Urine trouble!

Hi Tom, A CBT lets you ride a 125CC with a max power output of 11KW, doesn't matter what age you are. If you wanted the 250 Ninja you'd have to go for your A2 licence, this is age restricted, you'd have to have that 2 years before being able to ride any bike or wait until you're 24 to do a DAS.

Do you think that is because of the bad publicity Sky were getting over it? Either way, good result for all.... No doubt, a post was made on Facebook by someone who'd started a petition with the response from the CEO. : Deleted re Sky and Roughleys as Sky are now supporting the event and donating to Roughleys 3 charities - people power works Great news for Roughley's Bike Show 2017 Sky are now supporting the show and its three charity beneficiaries. (Please share this wherever you can). I received this email this morning in response to my email to Jeremy Darroch, the CEO of Sky TV, on Wednesday. "Dear Mr Hulse, Thank you for your email of 15 February about Roughleys Bike Show which takes place close to the Sky Contact Centre in St Peter’s Square, Stockport over the August Bank Holiday. I was sorry to read about the challenges experienced in recent years securing a suitable location for this popular charity event and I apologise for the concern caused by Sky’s enquiries regarding support to find a suitable alternative venue. From your note it is clear that St Peter’s Square is the ideal location for Roughleys Bike Show, and Sky is pleased to support the event taking place there again this August. For context, I understand that our local management were concerned about the safety of Sky staff as fire evacuation points are compromised during the event, and were trying to find ways to stay open to support our customers. They were seeking to work with the Council and the organisers to explore alternative options. However, as you have said, it appears that the best solution is to hold the event where you have done so in the previous couple of years. Consequently, we will close the Sky Contact Centre in Stockport again this August Bank Holiday and Sky will make alternative arrangements to support our customers from other contact centres. Thank you also for making me aware of the impressive achievements of the NABD over the past 26 years, helping more than 11,000 people with disabilities to enjoy the freedom and independence of motorcycling. I understand that Roughleys Bike Show is also a long term contributor to the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity and the Together Trust. I appreciate that the continuation of the excellent work by all three charities is reliant on donations, like those they receive from Roughleys Bike Show. As a gesture of Sky’s support of the event, and to say sorry for any inconvenience caused, we will be making a donation to the three charities of £1,500 each. Yours sincerely, Jeremy Darroch" I have written back to Mr Darroch to express the thanks of Roughley's Bike Show and the NABD for his speedy and most positive intervention. I would ask now that any petitions or protests in connection with this issue are brought to a halt, as this is a most amicable and pleasant result. As I am off to France on holiday in half an hour I would appreciate your help in spreading the word on Facebook & Twitter. Rick Hulse NABD Chairman

Sky are now supporting the event . Skys CEO got wind and its sorted.

How long is it taking to start accelerating again once you open the throttle?

Very easily, Sky aren't exactly in the middle of the square - they're right on the edge.

Is it fuel injection? I think it's normal for them to be a little less smooth on acceleration - which means it'll feel like the first part of the throttle turn does nothing then it jerks back to life. N.B. I think someone needs to confirm this though.

Nice one! When's the rest of the test then ? The Hazard perception is pretty stupid, I was spotting hazards too quickly on my practice tests. It's not designed at people who already drive so you can miss out on points if you click a little too early. Luckily I noticed that on the practice and just waited a second before I clicked any hazard.

I assume your power will be coming from a motor? I can ask an electrician at work for you if this is the case - or will it be from the mains?

Very local to me this, the show is great each year so it'll be sad if it has to move on. However SKY are a business and they have been closing the office for a day each year at a cost to themselves, the article says its over £100k each time. Drop in the ocean to someone like SKY, they really should suck it up or embrace it and get involved with the show.

Yes progress pics are always good . Would be nice to see it coming together/coming apart

Very good,

I've gone down the inside of lane hoggers before, usually to prove a point. I drive a 1.2 Punto and if someone is going to sit doing 65ish in lane 3 then I like to show them ridiculous they are by flying past in a slow Punto. Don't like to make a habit of it though, if they're that oblivious to sit in lane 2 or 3 when others are clear, they definitely aren't checking their mirrors when they finally move over to the left.

Well I tried to campaign for the position but I found I had no support .
