  1. yes that's what the crack heads around here use, or so I'm told.

  5. Biscuits will be my nemesis
  6. Sports bike shop do loads
  7. Search for “paddock stand “ as a starting point
  8. why not eBay? this is where all the scrap yards sell their stuff, as well as all the crooks!!
  9. are you sure that is not just for the month left on the policy?
  10. Yes. I seem to remember saying something similar on a previous thread.
  11. after all the rain we've had I doubt there will be any fires left burning.
  12. I was looking at that run in MCN earlier and thinking that would be a good place to visit on the way to my sisters. Perhaps on Friday or Saturday
  13. The biggest issue is actually going to be insurance for the first bike. Check out a couple of quotes for some Adventure bikes and maybe a couple of sports bikes and also go and sit on them at dealers. They probably won't let you ride them until you have a full A licence. As I said I chose a Tiger 800 for the same reasons as you, though I'm not as tall or heavy. It took me a little while to get used to the weight and balance but having sussed that I'm really pleased I didn't get anything smaller. Other manufacturers bikes are also available.
  14. You don't need it for the CBT but you will need the theory pass before you can do the MOD1 test, unless you have already done one in the last two years.
  15. Fort Knox with so many holes that rats can get in!
  16. typical, another single post OP and not bothered to return.
  17. Do the DAS and go directly to a bigger bike. You will bored with the 125 in a month, especially as you already have biking experience.
  18. These make ladies jeans for pretty much any size: https://www.hoodjeans.co.uk
  19. I bought a Triumph Tiger 800 for similar types of riding. It does the job superbly.
  20. Politicians only want to waste tax payers money on vanity projects, eg HS2, this pointless GPS system. The money could be much better used.
  21. do you all get a refund for cancelled race?
