  1. Well fill it up and see what happens.
  2. [mention]Gerontious[/mention] you may find that you have recovery with one of your credit cards. I discovered that my Nat West card has full recovery built in to the fee I pay to use the card. I have since cancelled my other recovery insurances.
  3. I have very similar problems to [mention]MarkW[/mention] with other peoples children. Generally I find them unbearably ghastly.
  4. Hello and welcome. Good luck on the search - hope it's successful.
  5. At risk of bombarding you with videos to watch when you should be out practicing, there are a couple of US channels that have very good training videos on: MCRider and MotoJitsu
  6. Having used every product under the sun I’ve gone over to a Scottoiler. Though a lot of people don’t like them, I’ve had no problems with it so far.
  7. None of that is contrary to what is in Roadcraft. Of course you should move over if a lorry is approaching, you must retain your protective bubble at all times pursuant to road conditions and your safety.
  8. It’s a very long time since I did my test but I can’t believe the examiner wouldn’t expect you to use a variety of road positions to maximise your view of the road ahead especially in bends.
  9. If it’s a freeby then go for it and put on eBay if the reviews are correct. If money is involved there are better bikes around allegedly.
  10. Hello and welcome As above and when you are 24 perhaps think about doing the DAS before the CBT certificate expires
  11. Read the following: Roadcraft - The Police Riders Handbook The Highway Code - and know it And Practice riding your bike as much as possible in a wide variety of conditions on roads that are new to you. Practice slow manoeuvres
  12. Hello and welcome Chinese = Chinese It's colloquial English. But now considered an ethnic slur. Edit: added clarity.
  13. Personally I'd rather trust to preparation, knowledge and skill rather than amulets, but each to their own.
  14. Must admit I wouldn’t want to be in a group of hyper sports bikes whilst bimbleing around on my Tiger.
  15. Looks like you will be in the middle of a major storm on Sunday morning. Just warning.
  16. I expect the hospital has a lucrative sideline in selling patient dara to ambulance chasers. Hence the tailored ads. You will start getting more junk email next.
  17. Have a look at Total Control by Lee Parks. He explains the physics of motorcycle control very well.
  18. I used my iPhone in a torrential downpour and it was fine. I didn't bother with the Quadlock poncho that was in the top box at the time.
  19. It's not prime tourist season. When the hordes of aliens descend on the capital the locals will return to their surly selves.
  20. I'm of the same opinion with my iPhone XS Max. Using gloves with touch sensitive figures means that you still retain full functionality. I use Waze, Scenic and Google maps sometimes Apple maps but mostly Waze.
  21. Well done [mention]elizabethf[/mention] onwards and upwards
  22. Take the full purchase price as cash and I’m sure they’ll let you have test ride.
  23. They might throw in a Rhino Horn , a few Tigers Dicks and bits of anything else that's beautiful or endangered as well . Only if you pay an arm and a leg
