Pie man

The OP did a great job in finding the keys, lucky it was being filmed however, I wonder if one of those Bluetooth tracker tag things would work

Glad you got sorted - there are loads to choose from. I do look like a balloon with my gear on thou

I'm assuming you have looked at SBS

Ah I see. Totally missed your point, Perhaps you've answered your own question, go for the Richa or Oxford ones - both good at keeping the rain off. There is a difference, some of the over trousers I have looked at before buying the Richa were stretch material and you didn't look like a balloon.

Are you planning on riding all year. If I was to pay £100+ for over trousers I would be looking to invest in better riding gear.

Can this be done without spending £100's To do it properly in my view and experience it will costs a lot of money, especially If you plan on riding all year. I have the Richa gear and it is good however I hate having to use it.

Apart from being absolute dullards, I don't think the manufacturers help. I'm sure my old car had daytime running lights, dash lit up giving the impression lights are on, but no lights at the rear unless you manually turned them on or it was set to auto, they also cant see the road ahead because they are probably looking at faceshite on their phone.

Pretty easy. I managed to install the Denali Sound bomb on my 2005 1200GS. I also installed a PC8, you just need to know which wire isn't effected by the canbus (and there is one you know) bear in mind it was a 2005. I know it isn't cheap but maybe try looking at the Hex exCan or Denali cansmart. Or buy my PC8

I suffer with anxiety and would suggest, Identify the anxiety triggers then work on those with your instructor. Get that out of the way and you can then concentrate and learn the rest. Triggers could be U-turns - slow manoeuvring or what ever it is for you, discuss with the instructor and good luck

Not sure if a beat Officer is the new description for the local bobby. The good old days, back in the mid to late 70s and early 80s we had a village bobby who lived in the police house. He was pretty cool, he would creep up on us drinking in the park and say to us, I don't want to be called back here tonight, so think on or you'll get a bloody good hiding and I'll drag you home kicking and screaming . In those days you had respect for the bobby.

Driving standards have certainly gone down the pan. I don't let these things get to me anymore, I assume everyone on the road is a moron anyway and trust no-one

Not even this

They are easy to work on though, and easy to service yourself, even down to removing the the shaft drive and changing the final drive oil. Cracking bike, I just couldn't justify the price.

Just ring up and ask

I'm assuming this must be a caveat with the PCP deal. All the insurance companies you mention will take yer hard earned £. You need to speak to a human and preferably one who knows what they are doing. I have been insured with 3 of those you mention over the years (no loyalty, its not worth it, you can take your no claims discount anywhere) I'm now with bemoto who beat every quote I had. Not saying they are any better to deal with however, I don't wish to find out. Please speak to a person, then again.........I spoke to a clown at Bennetts who wanted to to know the engine No, Frame No etc. (I was after a multi bike policy) I just hung up and then called them again and spoke to someone different, who only wanted the make, model and reg and insured from.

And here's me trying to tune the car radio to the station - you never stop learning

You were very lucky to find it - how on earth did you do it.

I wouldn't trust any politician, as for blaming the media, of course I do. They misconstrue every headline. I was unfortunate enough to have been on BBC Breakfast news and I wouldn't trust any of the feckers. When I have been approached by either an election campaigner or even a news reporter the first thing I say is 'fook off gob shite'. Strangely they don't ask again. anyhow I found my Key and got fuel from Tesco this evening

I will be visiting the Cotswolds (I think)

I nominate Myself for being a dozy fooker. Lost the ignition key to the bike

If you want to stop the general public from panic buying you will have to gag the British Media, we wouldn't be in this mess if they hadn't misconstrued the morons general public with their news story.

Haha that's not a daft suggestion. I must have checked the ignition at least 4 times. I was doing some tidying up in the garage and I cant even recall seeing it. I will have to order a Genuine Spare....more money I haven't got....

Managed to fill the Van for the wife today, I thought 'right I need to fill the MT07 ready for my commute to work', I'm down to last bar on fuel gauge. Came home and got ready to return on the MT07 - couldn't find the bloody key, searched for hours, will try looking again tomorrow fuming is an understatement. The key must be in the garage somewhere (I think)

Just nipped out on the bike to fill up for work - nothing, nadda, only Morrisons appear to have petrol however there is an hour and a half queue for it. The country is down the pan.
