Shaved a hedgehog the other day, it was pointless

Shove a vibration sensitive alarm in it

Go pro hero 1, great on 60fps at 720p, awful at 30fps at 1080p. Love them but it's a bit bulky, camera for £100, memory for about £25 and a mounting kit for about £10

The thing is I didn't really know what to expect but I felt I should post it as the most direct way to introduce myself around here. I can't sit and give it to people not only 10x the experience I have or 10x the power in their bike, but most of all we are all on the same team, and I love the community. Glad i've done it and acknowledged what people are telling me, i'm heading out with a few older harley riders (my friends mum lol!) to mayday and a ton of rallies over this year and next and looking forward to learning a lot. Will do my best to give the uk bikers a faithful image and not get smeared Thanks everyone

Hello chaps, I make the ride to sevenoaks area and always see cafes full of bikes and bikers on the road. Just wanted to see if anyone is from there on this forum and wanted to know if anyone wouldn't mind putting up with a knob on a 125 for a ride out Many thanks

Having alot of fun. Its as difficult as I thought it would be but i'm getting there. Going to try this for a few hours every week to get myself more relyant on foresight and observation than relying on a brake system that wont be the same whatever bike I have from here till the last day. Il make sure to gopro it next time so we can all have a laugh

Haha you get to the lights and you're like "come on, come on, come on, f**king lights, channnngeeeeee" Limehouse has three cameras both ways, one at each entrance and one in the middle where you either join from canary wharf way or turn off for the canary wharf roundabout , They aren't that up to date though, filtering seems to throw them off. Don't talk about the A2 you can fly down there easy on a bike, especially since all the normal cameras are down with the roadworks that seem to have been going on for a year now. See so many bikes rip through the A2 haha. Westbeef, we've all established i'm a dickhead here haha, don't be in a rush to throw it through traffic. I got my overconfidence from following bikers (which ironically i'd still say is a good way to learn) I used to be hesitant at many filter opportunities but seeing a bigger bike get through gives me the incentive to follow suit. That and I usually like the bike for work because it means I get an extra half hour lie in, and my boss doesn't have a tracker on my bike. Come out for a ride one day if you are near london

Got to be beef flavoured I thought you said they were chinese flavoured Attention span of a humming bird (when off the road, at least)

Haha well I got to where I am working wise by listening and following people with a lot more experience and knowledge than me. I can't come in against most of the opinions here, I understand a van is a big difference. Since riding I always check my mirrors more and give a large a gap as I can for bikers (it is hard changing between the two, I can't filter a van apparently haha). I am still skeptical about an advanced course, but I will take your challenge up this weekend and let you know how I get on, I really like the idea. Many thanks all of you for the honesty

Green is usally nuetral and purple is live with chinesse wiring. If you can't find any information like tango said try bnq for a multi meter (they do one for 20 quid) and play around with it till you find the right connections. (Make sure to be careful using resistance (ohms) meter if you are new to multi meters) Got any pics?

Hammerite do a rust remover compound that works pretty well. A fine grit pad on a multi tool would be the best. Could shot blast it with silicone grain but tidying up will be a pain in the ass

Take a look at your near miss video with cars pulling out from side roads and you needing to use your ABS to prevent an accident. Every Single one of those situations could have been avoided with proper training. As has already been said, you are riding on Luck and not Skill or experience. the sooner you develop some skills the better for all road users! Duely noted. But in terms of all road users... f**k cyclists! I once had a cyclist cut me up whilst filtering with a chain of about 20 bikes behind me. He sort of panicked looked behind and hit the back of a dump truck, was hysterical! This and the amount of times you see a cyclist pull deliberately infront of a bike. And anyone who rides with headphones in, i mean what's up with that? Ima try slowing down, ive seen some points from what you guys have said, im going to keep wide as I go past side roads. I wont stop filtering because ive found that more dangerous than anything. Please do understand that these vids make up about 5% of my time on the road. I am very respectful to road users when I am not f**king them off into the blackwall tunnel walls

I see that and thought "okayyy I get that but..." Fair play to him and thanks for finding out, top man

Managed to fix the problem by adjusting the tension from the clutch end, spent about 14 hours over the weekend tweak and testing and happy to say I have no longer grief. I tried the following - re routing the cable (no improvement) - removing the cable and changing gear with a screwdriver in the cable hold (worked fine, trying to rule out clutch cable vs. disk selection etc) - adjusting lever end - adjusting clutch end Everytime I adjusted I tried changing from a stand still, up a gear, down a gear and coasting and managed to find a sweet spot eventually. Then I went on a long ride out to fully test it, stopped at a cafe and let the bike cool and normalize itself before getting back on it and still had no issues. Many thanks for the advice! If I can offer some from myself; the best way to avoid clutch problems is not to throw your bike round a roundabout like a chinese gymnast with a hula hoop

What am I likely to learn from these courses though? A few people have said about them in this post alone, but I don't know the exact benefit. A better chance of staying alive on the bike, mate........ Haha I get this, but what exactly? I've know a few to die from mostly bike on bike. I can't see what they will provide what I don't already have an idea on. Sorry to sound ignorant, i'm interested, just want to understand what I would be going in for.

Thanks pal, I can understand the price as fully running but it is a little steep considering age and milage, could you also find out how many owners if possible? please and thankyou

P.s I don't have gym abs, lately i'm getting fat and it's slowing my 125 down

Sound advice guys and definetly taken in, hope I dont have to learn a hard lesson. Thanks for the input

To be fair I think the same, I don't talk to the guy anymore but in one of the videos he crashed I always told the **** to get some mirrors!! But I can't talk obviously, I love the ridicule from the abs line I deserved that. Honestly I have been worried that abs has ruined me for bigger bikes without it, what I found is that a 125 is better suited to london driving all day long. I see 600 and up sports constantly slamming brakes where the 125 allows me to maintain a good speed for riding like I do. I can't argue, you guys have 10x the experience, knowledge and know the roads better. So as I said I will apologize if I wear the cap but i'm young and getting on my first 125 I do reserve this style now to A roads and carrigeways. Let me aswell clarify that ive been driving too london for 6 years now in a big ole van and a year on my little ktm. One thing i'd like to say is that the video doesn't show what i'm thinking, planning or doing with my controls. I'm always looking at what people are doing in their cars, checking their tyres, their pace and position. I would never justify myself with it but there are many worse than me. The other day whilst i was following a gixxer and a zx10r (i always let bigger bikes in front) a 125 scooter cut us all up!

Is it still for sale? any more pictures?

I have never got a speeding ticket, I know most cameras in London, and through all tunnels. With regards to speed my channel is proxied and I know to show no definitive identification. I follow major league super sports through traffic every day, most taking about the same amount of risk. I've come close to hitting cars but my abs is pukka and I know how to get out of a sticky situation. I make my trip to london every day; if in a van i'm looking at about an hour and half minimum. So far my record on the bike is 42min. Can't go slow, I see more people getting messed up when they don't filter. One thing I always do is wave on drivers wanting to turn, a lot of riders see a car move and try to go around the opposite way but that's when drivers see you at the last second and pull back in. You should see how many people cut me off and almost kill me filtering by sitting on their phones slowly edging towards the lane split. Also try sitting behind a car all the way through the blackwall and breathing in those sweet sweet fumes

To be honest you just need to get back on it and take it at your pace as others have said. It's the same with a car or anyone on the road after an accident but it's a bit harder with a bike, self confidence makes up a lot of a riders ability in my opinion. When I first started I did about 2 hours a night just round my area, a few roundabouts, gradual and sharp corners, hills and slopes to get my confidence when I crashed and finally rebuilt my bike that's when it really hit me. I spent a lot of time going straight on at roundabouts after my accident, could end up 5 miles out of my destination haha. But I got it back now, and you will too. Fair play to those mentioning advanced classes etc. But believe in yourself is what will bring your confidence back, as long as you are out on that bike no matter how slow or nervous you are, as long as you keep going and keep riding you will get over it. Ultimate respect for MotoGP riders who can go through a ridiculous crash and ride the next day. p.s It doesn't help to blame things, when I came off the road was lightly wet (still me fault) and there was a load of shit on the road as there is a tip just off it (still my fault) I think unless someone takes you out of nowhere if it's just you then you did something wrong, that's where you have to take a step back and asses it all. That's why it's in a way healthy to lose and regain confidence from an accident you could crash and think "f**k won't lean that much next time" but your natural instinctual loss of confidence is a conflict you resolve within yourself and thus you are a better rider from experience and understanding.

Be honest I like it here, good people, good community but i'd rather be honest about how I ride and some may call me a dick, but I have my own philosophy and with cheap go pro I gave a few videos a go http:// " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
