My bike dosn't have a cancel button I have to flick it to the centre My old GS 125 had indicators like that, like a slider switch. Rather than a stick that you flick to one side (which centre's it's self) and push in to cancel. I much prefer the latter, I used to flick it to the opposite side when trying to cancel

I sometimes find myself doing it 3 or 4 times, either I'm paranoid or slightly OCD

I'm watching that, damn the intro was long on the pilot episode (thank god for Sky+ ) Was slow at first, but it's picking up a bit now

I would say reg/rec, My bulbs kept popping (and boiling the battery ) on my GS125, new reg/rec and battery sorted it. But it did have standard wiring so could be something else?

Excellent, I knew you could do it Welcome to the permanent grin club (again )

It's a cheap chinese copy if I'm not mistaken (you really do get what you pay for unfortunately), I haven't a clue where to start with a problem like that, other than check fuses. Are all the other electronics working (headlight, clock lights etc)?

can you coat the down pipes (and the rest of the pipes up to the end can), and the engine casing with this stuff? I would have thought the engine would get too hot and burn it off or something

Perhaps it wasn't so much the route, as what went on that day. As I recall you had a bit of bad news My test route took me on roads that I'd never been on before and I passed my MOD2, I think it's more to do with state of mind, all roads are the same and you should be able to deal with anything that gets thrown at you (just avoid flying 2x4's ). Just remember, they cant fail you if you don't do anything incorrectly or dangerously, always try to make progress but stay safe while doing it, try and show confidence even if you're not. Fumbling to change gear while stationary at the lights on green because you forgot to knock it down before stopping doesn't make you look good

congrats mate, welcome to the permanent grin club

I dont know much about it, but if it introduces people to biking, then I'm all for it

Gread ride and astounding weather! First time at matlock, and first time to the cat. I also got to ride the A57 (Snake Pass) for the first time, as I followed techno up to Glossop on the way home. Good day

Just inform them of colour change with your V5C (log book), it should be obvious with what you need to do if you look at it

33bhp feels amazing at first (from 11bhp ), but you soon long for more

Not so important if you're lucky enough to have an SSD drive

sounds good, just a few junctions down from me , what time?

I'm near junction 33 on M1, though I've only used the motorway once since I passed my test How would this work? you come off motorway or do I wait in a lay-by or something?

I will pass sheffield on the way if yuo want to arrange a meet point let me know and I will plan my route accordingly. That'd be fab , where abouts is on the way? Im pretty flexible

I'm up for this as I was last week, anyone near sheffield going as I've never been to matlock

I don't mind even if you're still on a 50 , and I haven't been watching this thread, offended?!1? what's been going on lol

I've just realised that this is only in derbyshire and only about an hour away! I might pop up for the day on the saturday or sunday. Fancy a ride just for the day bullet?

No offence intended but it seems you are treated like a toddler, do they not trust you or something?

It sounds like new housemate time

We may have dropped a bollock with this, it's gorgeous weather today

Imho it keeps you on your toes, if you know the route, then you become complacent and don't think about what you should be
