Try what Arwen said and also, when your practising it, make the space between the lines you use tighter than what you'll have in the mod 1. My instructor did this with me and when I got to my mod 1 it felt like I had bags of room! Good luck! You're going to have a good laugh about this when you walk out of the test centre with your licence in your hand! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Take the car instead?? I never get wet when I take the car. And I can recommend the Met Office weather app, it is the most accurate weather app I've found Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Ledergris extreme is good for softening leather boots, may be a bit much for bike leathers but if used sparingly might do the trick Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Was there no group in your area? Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Oh yeh there is a group (White Knights) that cover West Yorkshire I apparently live in the wrong part of West Yorkshire. I'm waiting for them to come back to me when they are short of riders so I can tell them I am busy. Haha! Very altruistic of you! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

This is one of the main reasons I'm considering it Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Is anyone an IAM certified advanced rider? If so how did you get qualified and was if worth the extra effort? Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I've generally found the bigger a bike the easier riding gets; more stability, wider power bands, better engine breaking and acceleration, more comfort too. This is with the exception of slow speed manoeuvring which takes a bit of re-learning upon moving from a 125 to a bigger bike. This is just my experience though, I didn't do the whole "you must get a 500/600cc as a first big bike' BS and went straight for a litre bike. I think you should go for it, you may be more suited to big bikes than 125s. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

What bike were you doing these corners on? If it was a 125 with skinny tyres then remember a bigger bike with fatter tyres will feel much more planted and stable when in a lean. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I had a try of a FG-15 in a shop the other week. I was quite impressed with the quality of the helmet considering the price and it felt comfortable if a little roomy. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I just drop a gear, and having a v twin I don't even need to do that half the time. I only use the break if I've misjudged and approached the corner a bit fast, then I'll use mostly front and a bit of rear Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Perfect thanks! It seems a glue/putty called Sugru might be the way forward. Anyone heard of it? Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

the camera isn't permanently mounted, the camera and mount are seperate. Action cams mostly seem to come with a few mounts and additional/replacement mounts are inexpensive. Helmet mounts are small and not that obvious especially on patterned lids. This is true, the 3M adhesive pads are cheap and removable with heat so not too worried about ruining the helmet. And I think the mounting bracket would break before the camera went through the helmet and my face, hopefully anyway. I would have bike mounted it already but with my memory i'd forget to take it off. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Another reason why it's chin mount or bike mount Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Im not going to be vlogging or anything like that so no need for a mic Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I've got a go pro type camera I don't use as much as I expected so I'm going to helmet mount it. The problem is where to mount it. Im thinking a chin mount is the least obvious and best for airflow/least turbulence but the chin of my helmet is too sharp for the standard mounting. Has anyone used epoxy putty to make a new moulding on the bracket and is it secure? Also any advice on how you did it would be appreciated! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

The kit has 3 co2 canisters but if i need to use 1 to bead the tyre then I'd still be up sh*t creek without a paddle hence the need for a compressor. If the tyre comes off the wheel rim then I very much doubt that one of these little 12v inflators will reseat it.. thats not what they're for. They are solely for re-inflating a tyre and aren't particularly fast. I think you're looking at the best part of 10 minutes to go from completely flat to around 40psi. not fast at all. If I had a puncture and the tyre came off the wheel rim, I think I would probably have more problems on my hands than a simple puncture. Using a stop and go... the tyre stays on the rim. its repaired without any need for the tyre to come off. As far as Im concerned its essentially a permanent repair.. but theres nothing stopping you from taking the tyre to a repair shop later and having a 'professional' job done. Or if you're really 'iffy' about puncture repairs... getting the tyre replaced. for me the best thing about these kits.. both parts. is that a puncture isnt a disaster. it can be fixed and the tyre fully re-inflated within about 15 minutes. The repair itself takes about 3 minutes to do.. the bulk of the time is the actual re-inflation. This assuming the puncture can be repaired. Not all can be. getting going again under my own steam is much better i think than having to wait for the RAC or whoever to arrive. it might actually come to that.. but it might not. Eh? I was talking about using a co2 cart to bead the tyre lol Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I bought a repair kit off eBay for about £20, like this one http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=131291111914&alt=web" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , it uses plugs not the string stuff, not used it so can't recommend it. As for the compressor I have a digital one from tesco which works great and is tiny. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

If I remember correctly after the "I'm pleased to tell you you've passed..." chat, the motorcycle test centre asked if I wanted them to sent off my licence. It might be worth taking your car pass certificate with you and asking them. They might be able to sent them both off for you. I've had to deal with the DVLA over the phone a couple of times and it's been murder trying to get anything sorted. They do seem helpful over the fone but then it's as if the conversation never took place. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Well done! Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

If you've got the money for it then a top box definitely. Really useful and fairly secure. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Have you had any problems with your s4. My pal has one on his Strom and he's happy with it. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

There's no sensitivity setting on a s3 but I have heard of someone who mounted a layer of foam between the alarm box and the bike which helped. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

It's a system 3 I've got too and yes it is sensitive but I've never had it go off on its own, that said I keep mine in the garage. The main problems I have are it has a mind of its own sometimes when I try to enable/disable non standard features, like service mode for example Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
