I'm planning on going. Not sure what day, but I want to get a close up look at that 1290 KTM

It's called anticipation and not riding in blind spots or too close to other vehicles so if they do change lanes it's not a problem

 

That is true, however I get pulled out on very often with them having a clear view of me with no other cars in the sight. However they still feel the need to be in front of me. However I think the shitty L plates are the culprit mostly.

Do you ride near the kerb?

I was taught many many moons ago to ride about 1 metre out but generally I'll position myself smack in the middle of the lane I'm in. Unless I'm following another bike, then I'll sit off to one side of them in case they brake suddenly

It's called anticipation and not riding in blind spots or too close to other vehicles so if they do change lanes it's not a problem

......and READING the road and riding according to the road conditions which, believe it or not, includes other traffic

If you can't pick up on everything that's going to be a potential hazard to you, you're not paying enough attention or you're going too fast!!!!

aren't those trucks 24v?

Haha Watch out for the smoke if ya fits 'em

He did say truck style though

Legal?

Take it he passed the Gary

Not many would pass as adults on this forum John if tested

Who said anything about being an adult?

Take it he passed then Gary

They have to wait for feedback from GCHQ to see if you are suitable

I like the Bell lid I currently use......it's light, good ventilation, good vision, thick visor that very rarely steams up and fits me perfectly.....I can wear it for hours with no problems.....

On that note its a good idea to wear any you like for a while to see if it stays comfortable

have a good one

And us

Best get a list of definites and possibles started Stu

Karioke at the Rally - not sure I'd call it music though!!

Very entertaining though

We got home about 1:30/2:00pm ish

Time for a quick cuppa and shower then we were off to our daughters (1hr drive) to pick the dog up

Eventually after doing the rounds visiting the kids and grandkids we got back home about 7:15pm

Although we slightly overdid the alcohol intake on the first night and totally paid for it for the rest of the weekend we enjoyed it and it was good to catch up with some friends we haven't seen for way too long, and meet some new people

Glad to report we both felt back to normal this morning

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

No Idea

At my last house I had a Ground Hog 3. The rawl bolts came with a resin bonding paste to secure it well and truly to the concrete garage floor. The bolt heads were recessed and metal caps were supplied to prevent tampering. The chain loop was good and thick. Too thick for bolt croppers and I believe disc cutter proof. Once fitted you bad no hope in hell of getting the thing back out save for gunning the concrete out around it. Good piece of kit,well worth the money and left me confident the bikes were secure.

Happy birthday.Hope you had a good one

Bit early doors for this. If I am not busy I may join you

And I thought it was going to be something exciting

SERIOUSLY disappointed

SUMMER

As I have a new car I need some of them car window sticker things

If someone from the forum could bring some along that would be great

The ones that go on the inside

One in red and one in white as last time

I think they was 600(ish)mm ones

Would also like two red 300(ish)mm ones for the CB

I'll be ordering a T shirt, but not till after I get paid so may not have it in time for t' rally

Thinking about it, if you brought a few TMBF items along I'm sure others would buy something

Let us know how you get on

I went to a seminar in Pimlico area the other week

I considered taking the bike but wasn't sure about the on street parking arrangements despite trolling the net so I used the train

Good job I did too as I discovered on my walk to the seminar that all the on street bike bays I passed were chockablock

The bikes were all bunched in one massive marked bike bay, no one had used the car bays

Finding a space would have been a challenge

I'm lucky that we have security patrolled underground parking at our London office

Only issue I ever had was forgetting to do the ruddy zips up thus allowing the contents loose while on the go

I now use a top box

I'm in Epsom and we will be travelling up on the Friday also

Not sure what time we'll be setting off yet

IF I take my bike, the plan is to transport it up as the missus won't go pillion due to me chucking her off a couple of times

I have it in mind to hire a van

If I decide not to take the bike we will be going by car

If you aren't in a hurry to get there, more than happy to travel up with you

 

why dont you ride and she bring the car ??

 

indeed

Because she doesn't have a driving license and that would be illegal
