The road camber can be enough to wear the right side of the tyre more than the left, in the UK. Add roundabouts to the mix and you will wear the right side more than the left.

Good luck with the new channel

hello and welcome. I expect someone will be able to help soon.

Metal body parts will make you a proper biker.

The roads around the Peak District were nice and dry today and the temp even got up to 15 degrees.

RoadcraftNottingham recently did a review of slow speed manoeuvring on a Gold Wing as well.

Me for not reading owners manual

Oops yes you’re correct

Oh dear [mention]emmajaneg[/mention] I do hope that you recover quickly and that this isn't the straw that breaks your riding interest. You seem to have had rather a bad time of it. Best wishes.

Tiger 800 cold on centre stand or just held vertically. Very simple. Edit: totally incorrect, see below

i recorded “They Shall Not Grow Old” and watched it the other night. The overwhelming feeling was that it lacked smell. I think the true horrors of war can only be brought home when you add smell, though the visuals were pretty bad.

hello and welcome. I leave all that stuff to the dealers so can't help. Sorry

It depends on how the instructor felt you were doing. They won't (perhaps shouldn't) let you out on the road until they are satisfied you are not a danger to yourself or other road users.

this thread is getting surreal.

The service book that came with my Tiger just has the relevant dealer stamps with a note of the mileage and oil used etc. There is no owner info in it at all. The V5 (logbook as was) nowadays just has number of previous owners. I expect dealer has "lost" the service record, in which case they should supply a duplicate with the relevant stamps.

Use an inspection mirror so you don't have to get down so low..

we all share about 99% of the same genetic code as Chimpanzees so perhaps we are all monkey people. Ok I'll get my coat.

The Keith Code video is a little cheesy but there is a lot of very good explanation and advice in it. Video is based on book of same name. The other book well worth getting is Total Control by Lees Parks.

Hello well done. Now the learning really starts
