I'm heading down. Number is in contact section if you want to give me a shout

I used to ride with a 50L one before I got my top box. Didn't affect handling or anything. Only when extremely full did it stop my head from being able to tilt back as far but not a problem

I wear one when commuting into London as there's a higher chance in my opinion of someone hitting me. I don't wear it to be seen any better, just so if it comes down to it, I can say I was doing everything in my power to be seen. However, saying this, I've seen people wearing full trousers and jacket that seem to be bright reflective yellow and it's actually hurt my eyes to look at them!

I know it's been a while since I've been on but was wondering if anyone had any experience with personal injury law? I've had a claim made against me for a valid accident that I was at fault for. Claimant has said she has whiplash but has not sought medical advice. The form submitted to my insurers has incorrect details about the accident including wrong road names (with junctions that don't exist) and incorrect description of the accident. Need to contact the insurers and will update after but does anyone know if I can fight against this?

I know I've been a bit of a silent member on here of late more due to work commitments and not really having any spare time so I don't know if we've had any recent ethnic additions to the forum! I know there weren't that many (if any!) apart from moi! For those of you that aren't Hindu, just as I do at Christmas, I would highly recommend stuffing your faces with too much food and having a fun day anyway! Any excuse!!!

You could get their children doing chores round your house. They'll be begging their parents to never come back! Today's playtime will be.... washing the dishes!!!!

Sorry it's a bit late, hope you had a fab weekend celebrating!!!! Happy belated birthday!!!!

Can understand the mixed feelings. At least he's getting done for something

I bought a go pro for my biking hols last year. I wore it a few times travelling into work (central London) but figured it captured me doing things that I wouldn't want anyone official seeing. Yes they're great for capturing what happens in an accident but also capture everything before including any breaks of speed limits, riding over chevron when getting past traffic etc. (yes, this is a normal part of a London commute and if anyone said different they'd be lying).

I would offer but I've been turfed out of the house due to having builders in. Feel free to give me a shout if you're about in the city and want to meet up for a beer though!

Hi All, Been a bit quiet as of late but am either heading tot he Ace Cafe or going for a ride in Hampshire this evening. Let me know if you want to do either. Unfortunately I'm leaving work at 6:30pm so you'll have to get me by then. If I don't hear from anyone then I'll be going into Hants. Number is in the contacts section. Anand

I think people can and should be able to do what they want with their properties within reason. I understood the problem was more to the damage he had caused to the property than anything else There shouldn't be anything wrong in being partriotic.

Done this pass last summer. The weather wasn't as good as yours but still loved every minute. Not sure which camera you're using but to upload the HD video that I took would have used up quite a lot of data so didn't bother!

Thanks for the replies all, some great advice that I'll definitely take on board. Coming up from my current position means that I can do most jobs and will still want to get my hands dirty (this will still be a big part of my job) and generally I'm very lucky in the way that the rest of my team are very capable so don't need looking after much at all. It was just a couple of people on the team that got me thinking about what I was doing but I suppose you can't have any team that's completely perfect.

It sounds to me like you know what you want to do, it's just a matter of selecting the route which none of us can decide for you. I'll throw in the things that I would be thinking about if I found myself in your position: 1) Cost - would it be cheaper to finish the course then do an additional teacher training course or would it be cheaper to stop the course you're on at the moment and go straight on to the teacher training course this coming academic year. 2) How much time will it take? Is it quicker to do it one way or the other? I would opt for he quickest but I'm just impatient! 3) Are you guaranteed to get onto the other course? 4) Could you actually put up with another year of the phsychology degree?

Glad it went well although I think I stormed out of there refusing to pay for the half finished drinks after asking all of 5 times to place an order in 20mins and being repeatedly ignored! There was a place in southsea by the ferry that goes over to hayling island that done really nice indian food but it was a little on the pricey side.

I know I've been fairly quiet on here recently and that's mostly been due to work. As some people on here may remember, nearly two years ago it looked like I could be facing redundancy and I wasn't in the good books with my company. Fast forward 2 years and 18 months of a new manager and how things have changed. I'm now on very good terms with management and am being trained up to be a second in line to my manager. I've taken on many more responsibilities including managing the company's "out of hours" IT helpdesk. The question is, I'm sure there are others on here that have gone through the transition to a management position, how did you cope with the increase in responsibility? I've been working as hard as I can and have been doing a good job (so my manager says) but I find myself worrying about what my colleagues are thinking and saying about the elevated responsibilities I now have. In the short period I've been doing this, I've learned a lot and have found that some of my workmates aren't as trustworthy as I once thought and some seem to actively be trying to trip me up. I think I've been doing ok but don't want to create any enemies but it seems like that's the only route to go down with some. Does anyone on here have any advice?

Thoughts to the family. RIP Lucy

Nearly half way there!

Rainbow sheep? Sounds like the teacher is possibly on acid! As for humpty duummp........ I'm still scarred from that nursery rhyme. Glad they've stopped traumatising the toddlers! What next, no more Farmer in the Dell as he might be gay?!? I'm sorry, I can't believe that nursery rhymes have disappeared from the classroom and the gingerbread person just sounds like a protest. Would anyone really prosecute over a gingerbread man??

So the local motorbike shop over tightened my sump plug and I can't get the f**ker off. Looking at getting some irwin bolt grips to get it off (unless someone can suggest something else?). Anyway, seeing as I will have knackered my current one I'm going to have to replace it. Can someone explain if there's any benefit to having a magnetic sump plug? I've done all the previous oil changes myself and never had a problem with it getting stuck. It was only out of laziness I let the bike shop do it...

Ouch! Bet that's going to put the premium up next year!!!

Asian biker here!!!! In this country you're right, there doesn't seem to be many riders from ethnic minorities. Always struck me as a bit strange as over in Asia so many get about on 2 wheels! I think with Asian's that I have met in London, too many are over obsessed with creature comforts and as such, don't like being on bikes as it exposes you to the elements. If the Asians up north are the same then there's no hope
