  1. Very good, not too bad a video considering your candlelight headlamp lol
  2. I been happy with my flip front caberg Duke, did take a week or so for it to settle in to the shape of my face.
  3. Re the vid Its not that bad mostly. Stop cutting corners off, junctions, corners, roundabouts, your turning in too soon on many of them, much sooner than needed and much too far, putting yourself too close to the curb or the center, not only is it bad from a position point of view your limiting albeit slightly your view of the oncoming road. Stop with the pulling over too, I know its easier said than done to stop feeling like your in the way of others but your creating problems, your inviting people past and putting yourself at more of a risk than holding your position, you pulled over opposite a junction causing the car that was turning right to turn right along side you over the center line, all that takes to go wrong is to have an idiot behind him not paying attention to try to pass on the left right where you are. I'm sure a good instructor will soon have you riding better. Hope it goes well. [mention]BigHeavy1095[/mention]ohh where do you have the camera
  4. You are a IMG_20180122_210510.jpg A decent mod would have edited your quote and denied all knowledge of the screw up Shame on you @Hoggs Yea right, where are we going to find one of them round here
  5. You missed the boat he passed. Well done, good luck on Fri.
  6. I would go with the get back on the road idea with a riding school, no hassle with insurance and they usually have all the gear albeit well worn and moist lol.
  7. This is a Pink Floyd lyric right ? No its mine.
  8. After six years you should know if you want to continue or not, maybe you need to make sure it's something you want to continue with cause if your head and your heart are not in it your going to be creating situations and excuses to put yourself off. If you do want to continue then you need to have yourself a goal. Find.a good instructor take some lessons and go for your license. As you have the control side pretty much done or you should have after six years, concentrate on position and safety, you need to learn to ride defensive and not feel your causing a problem for every other road user. Explain the off to a decent instructor and they will walk through where and what you should have been doing. Good luck with whatever course of action you take.
  9. You don't have to ride in the rain just stand outside when it's tipping it down and preferably blowing a gale, 50mph gusts should do it and if you can stay out there for a couple oh hours would be more realistic They look OK.
  10. Yeah protection for the hands is likely to be non existent in the event of an off you probably as well off wearing woolen mittens

    Mobile Phones

    I like apple hardware, I hate however the way the software invariably gets in the way of it, I have not had one android phone I would have swapped for the other half's I phone.
  12. They could possibly fail you on pulling the clutch in early as your loosing a slight amount of engine braking, with regards the rear locking, you only need a slight amount of rear brake, they can't tell if your pressing hard or just a little. You need to get into a routine and get so used to it that you don't have to think about it. Front brake and brake progressively harder as you slow the more you slow the more you can apply it, back brake same time as the front and to be honest as long as they see your foot move you should be fine, and as your coming to a stop clutch in. Remember your front brake does most of the work and the weight of you and your bike gets transferred to it so if you apply too much pressure on rear it will lock up. Sorry to see you failed, good luck with the next one.
  13. The inner liners that absorb the impact, the outer is to contain them and your head, it's unlikely to have caused any structural damage and I would have no issues with you wearing it, I on the other hand would buy a new one
  14. Will all be fine, and here before you can blink.
  15. One of the things i regret about the ex was not putting her in it
  16. some people have no sense of adventure, my mam went off shopping when i was a kid one sat morning, when she returned there was a range rover gearbox on the kitchen table complete with transfer box, my dad was very careful though he put extra supports under it. I love the dishwasher for cleaning engine parts, the wife was a bit disagreeable to start with but shes fine now
  17. Take engine out, put engine on kitchen table, fix in kitchen, drink tea, get grief, put engine back in bike, go for ride, forget about grief, buy new kitchen table.
  18. would be a good time to buy a tool set and learn how to fix things
  19. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5246041/amp/Boy-17-admits-acid-attacks-against-moped-riders-London.html#ampshare=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5246041/Boy-17-admits-acid-attacks-against-moped-riders-London.html. Well if my phone has behaved that should be a link, named by same judge that sent the other one down for 20yrs Heres hoping it's another message sent.
  20. Happy birthday, ohh its your round
  21. Don't set fire to jeans you are wearing as it hurts and you need to buy new ones
  22. Unfortunately any bike regularly parked on a street is going to be easy prey, lightweight locks will deter opportunists but if someone decides to take it then it's going, many many years ago in a galaxy far far ohh hold on wrong story, mate of mine had his bike stolen from university pay car park with security, turned up in a van, which actually drew attention to it from the office on 5th floor, ohh its OK I have 2 locks on it, out came the stihl saw and off went the locks, security didn't even manage to stop the van, which was also stolen, it was gone in the back of the van before they made it to the ground floor. May the force be with you, as long as it's not the met.
  23. Can we send it back if it starts to get pear shape
