^^^ That would be an MOT fail nowadays.

How do you carry the dog on the bike?

then post #132 is relevant.

I wonder how many accidents s/he has seen?

how about centre parcs ?

What if it was a really really fit woman and the tee shirt was really really tight. Then a bucket of water would be necessary

A good example of why you should never trust anybody who is indicating their intention to turn until they have committed said turn.

Google is your friend

It would look better if it was the “Morphine Chapter “

Great bike, but then I'm biased. Definitely do some advanced training, a local riding school should be able to help there. Use Google to find a list of local ones to you. Check what sort of train they do as many seem to just do the basics. The other option is an IAM or ROSPA course if there is group near you. Be prepared to drop the bike a couple of times. Triumph in Manchester now keep spare indicators for me. But the only time I have dropped mine was when stationery and I lost my balance, so very little damage done. Enjoy.

I've got one of those myself, very useful.

You can't take a pillion or ride on motorways and you must display "L" plates. Other than that the world is your oyster and you can go wherever the feeling takes you.

It is great fun. The first time out on a “big” bike is an eye opener.

Put the old bulbs back and see if it is the same. Then go from there. Double check what the old bulbs were.

Sorry too far from me

switch cleaner works well as well, especially for hard to get at terminals.

sorry no.

Please read the details in the pit stop section: https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33618 And then let us know what you have tried. In the first instance replace the fuel with fresh. Also clean all fuses and other electrical connections.

It can't have been ridden much if it is the first service in three years. But I'd take it to the main dealer of whatever make it is.

I’m sure that we have plenty of knobheads up here it’s just that they haven’t bothered me.

Yes that looks like the culprit. The tyre still needs to be removed though to sort it.

It is probably best if you invest in a paddock stand as the wheel will almost certainly have to come off to fix it and then balance it properly, unless you find an indie to do it for you.

ditto for Manchester - L-plates or otherwise, never had a problem with other road users.
