  1. From what i can see on the video it looks like the road has a join running down it and is in pretty poor condition, you can clearly see it when you stop, also alot of crap on the road from where the wobble started to where you stopped, once it started you can see your drifting to the edge as the bike is standing its self up, think you were lucky to have stopped relatively safely. Could you have done something else probably, best off avoiding riding in the center line, after that you could have tried lots of things but thats the same with life, best to try avoid situations in the first place, could have backed of, put weight forward, could have gave more throttle and risked leaning it over more whilst trying moving your weight back, you did what you did and your ok so probably best not to dwell on it too much. Glad your ok and no major damage

    He's not that bad, least he's given james blunt a rest I could happily swap places with him, ginger and all, he had so many songs in the charts as crap as the charts are now, they had to change the way they list them to give new music a chance.
  3. Glad to see things are looking up, hope you enjoy the new bikes
  4. Yup some form of mold/bacterial growth, just ask a student they probably fry that up as extra protein
  5. you shure thats not a dead goldfish
  6. Great news, been keeping an eye out for an update, I'm smiling for you. What a difference a couple of months and a bit of focus does for you,
  7. To be honest I don't think that's a bad price, every one forgets that dealers are a business, by the time you take out someone's wages, pay into the contributions for said wages, put something into the upkeep of the business, then pay tax on the business then pay tax on whatever the owner takes out if the business, it's not like they are robbing you blind. I am aware that some charge silly money for the stupidest of things and I agree that they should be avoided if possible, but sometimes needs must. Hope the new bleeder sorts it and it will come in handy in the future.
  8. Can you borrow a vacume bleeder?
  9. Practice and patience, it's like learning to drive, once your hands and feet know what they are doing you can concentrate on the riding. After cbt just find a quiet place and practice starting stopping and junctions, industrial estate on an evening is usually a good place. Don't worry if things don't go as well as you expect it's a steep learning curve but one to enjoy. Good luck
  10. Have you got anything else to put the compression tester into to make sure it's OK, you seem to have consistent pressure, the chances of every cylinder being down the same amount is very slim, unless you put a thicker headgasket on to lower compression to put a turbo on it.
  11. Fuel tap is on? What bike and what year, more details will give an idea as to what it may be. My Honda stood for 7months and fired up instantly with no addstives.
  12. That sounds like a lot of air, if master was OK before you started it's unlikely its packed in to that extent.

  14. Well done I think it looks good, hope you get the bugs inroned out.
  15. There was a new section of fence where some one tried that at my test center, I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed to continue.
  16. U turn was my downfall too, sorry to see the fail but we get to read another day lol Most of the u turn issues are down to nerves and panic I'm sure, just relax and go through it in your head, don't have a point to turn by, turn when your moving and stable although it needs to be done before you hit the fence, just saying. Good luck.
  17. Good luck with the mod 1, on mod 2, its safety safety safety, plenty of observations, safe road positioning, life savers a plenty, keep an eye on the speed limits.
  18. Why can't you just bypass the switches to rule them out?
  19. Looks good hope you find a good one, will be interested to see what you think after living with it for a while.
  20. I never had any issues with the slalom, but I did the same thing when practicing on the 125 I had them spaced really close together when it came to the test the correct spacing seemed huge so i can see why he did it.
  21. Dont need cbt but you do need a provisional license
  22. What do you fancy ?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-41035766 Although thats last years, it gets bigger every year, if you dont have one sorted by august bank holiday weekend, you could pop up, always bikes for sale and definitely the biggest collection of HD's you will find in the uk, good weekend of drink and music and lots of other bikes too.
