  1. That was my thinking, that's why I thought the chain may have not been assembled at the factory properly.
  2. If I was to be any Titan, I would probably be that one.
  3. I am free! http://i.imgur.com/021M7fm.jpg
  4. *Starts to form a protective wall around beefy* No! He survived the Trial by MegaWatt, he gets to stay! http://shop.buttons.com/v/vspfiles/photos/PinkBulkButtons-2.jpg PINK BUTTON FOR DISLIKE! :D Why you disliking saving me you should be trying to save me too! Please.
  5. I have some Weise ones for the exact thing,go over my office wear. They're thick enough and armoured (Ive slid in them at 30mph and still good for use). They have braces to hold em up too and they're a little baggy but makes sticking them on easy. They don't seem to do the ones I have any more do but similar, they're £100 new but I got these second hand for a fraction of that. Also I'd say they're properly water proof, Ive used them in all kinds of weather. Similar ones To mine http://www.flitwickmotorcyclesexpress.com/clothing/weise-marin-textile-waterproof-motorcycle-jean-trousers-black/?utm_medium=googleshopping&utm_source=bc&gclid=CMeBhfjOjNICFTgo0wodbpEG8w
  6. I should be happy for you, but now I'm worried ive got limited time left on the forum before I'm banned.
  7. How does a thread about Martin Clunes end up in a discussion about Ozzy love it.
  8. Well I'm enjoying this thread not because of your problems but it's interesting the progress. Keep us updated please .
  9. Sorry yes that is me! I thought my team name "beefy bikes" would show up.

    Realised they've lost too much money through this then.
  11. Nothing Mr Fro
  12. Id charge £100 and tell the buyer that its come from china and you're taking a gamble. It might run for a while it might die in a month. For £100 you can't go wrong! Id be the best Chinese bike dealer going.
  13. Well I have made an account and requested a price for 25 units.
  14. You made more stuff up.
  15. I think you're always going to get some surface rust on your chain in the winter, but it's not a problem if you keep on top of it. I lubricate mine weekly - I clean monthly. I got a Motul kit for £15, it had a decent brush, chain cleaner and chain lube in. Got all the rust off mine perfectly. As far as ACF50 goes, don't put it on your brakes at all and you don't need it on your chain/sprockets either. From there anything metal is pretty much OK to give a coating, Obviously aluminium parts won't rust anyway but I give it a little coating. Gear linkage usually gets some rust on so I pay particular attention to that area, I've also got flakey paint on my exhaust so I give that a good coating too. You can brush it on if you want, I just spray it all over though.
  16. Nice bike, I was looking for one when I was choosing - they're pretty uncommon though! A bit of time on a 125 is defo not a bad thing, it's helped me and I feel my slow control is quite good now. I always practice in slow moving traffic/filtering .
  17. Shame . As you say 'professional driver' yet doesn't have the awareness to notice a bright yellow box at the side of the road at least once in 14 occasions. Some taxi drivers think the law doesn't apply to them, funny that the only problems I've had when filtering is from taxi drivers
  18. A room for me too pls! Whatever's cheapest x
  19. Glad we could help
  20. I'm not sure, maybe - the vibrations can move the keys. If you've got it stationary but engine running, try wiggling the key to see if it cuts out.
  21. Maybe check the ignition barrel to start? Trying fiddling with the key to see if it fires up - if you can get it working doing this you know the issue is there at least!
  22. Think you need an impact gun on it, is the case spinning when you try loosen it?
  23. Ive got a textile winter jacket and a summer one, I've only got one set of trousers at the min which are armored over-trousers, nice and thick but a bit too hot in the summer. Going to invest in some leathers for the summer, but they'll be 2 piece, until them I'm stuck with the extra warm trousers.
  24. I think the rear break does need to activate the lights as part of the MOT. My spring had disconnected from the switch and the MOT tester put it back on for me and mentioned it. I assume he wouldn't have even noticed if he didn't test it.
