Northern Biker

Passed my Mod1 & Mod2 this week, both with a clean sheet.

Hmm, is he not accountable for his own death then? Fleeing from police with multible bags of skunk and mobile phones in his possession - obviously he was law abiding lad who had nothing to run for eh. I won't be shedding a tear.

Don't they charge you now if drive through? I'm sure my mate told me they tried charging him so far down. Haven't been to Blackpool for years.

Hi Neal, it may help if we had more information like what bike and what year, under what circumstances did it stop working ie ran out of fuel or just died? Has it been laid up for a while or recently had any work done on it? The more information the better the chance someone may be able to help you. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Congratulations on the pass. At least it's out of the way now and you can get down to the fun practical stuff [emoji106]

What did you park like that for? [emoji6]

As Copycat says good luck getting insurance if you do manage to get hold of a bike, and yes you do have to prove it's insured for you to ride, MOT'd and taxed if you use a bike that doesn't belong to a training school. Just do pay as you go with a training school near you, most will do it that way, you don't have to pay for a DAS.

Whoop! Well done mate. Onwards with Mod 2.

Good luck today bud!

Snaffles Café up the road in Haskayne is popular Wednesday evenings. You're more than welcome to pop in.

Glad it's sorted now mate.

That makes total sense, good shout. Bet he hadn't thought of that!

Yup, mine is £795 all in, lessons, bike hire, test fees etc.

Yep, side stand switch if it has one. Disconnect it and join the wires together to rule it out. Or maybe being stood so long the clutch plates are stuck together?

Were you trying to start it in gear then? [emoji57]

Is the new battery fully charged? Checked voltage?

Great username! Love it [emoji106] As said try putting the original lever back on, was it after fitting new levers when your troubles started? A mate of mine fitted cheap CNC eBay levers to his Chinese bike & ended up cutting part of the bracket out as the new lever fouled it and wasn't giving enough throw to disengage the clutch.

Congratulations [emoji3]

What bike is it, and what carb screw did you tighten?

Happy birthday Stu!

Does it have open air filters like K&N?

Did you soak the clutch plates in fresh engine oil for 24 hours before you fitted them?

Reports of a van hitting people on London Bridge, plus stabbings and gunshots. My thoughts go out to all involved http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-40147014

That sucks about the insurance Mark. About 10 years ago I disturbed a burglar in my sisters bungalow one night. I managed to grip the little shit and gave him a proper kicking, then pinned him to the floor until the police arrived. When they shoved him in their car he told them I'd give him a pasting in the house so the copper came and asked if I'd hit him. "Nope" says I, "But he did fall down the stairs......repeatedly." He smirked, nodded and said "Fair enough." Thanks to all this PC Human Rights Violation tosh the offending little poppets spout these days, I think in most cases the hands of the Police are unfortunately somewhat tied. It must be equally frustrating for them too. Gene Hunt for PM I say!

Can the Mod 1 be done without having to go through an instructor?
