In central London this week. Stopped at traffic lights behind 5 cars all turning right, with indicators on. BMW zooms up behind me and as there's no cars parked decides to slip up through the empty spaces to the top.

daveinlim replied to daveinlim's topic in For Sale and Wanted - Motorbike related
Forgot to advertise this properly. Box and original 3 keys. Can deliver in and around London. -
Fixing slow puncture in the car. Off buying a few gallons of paint and all the bits needed to redo the interior of the house. Lining up to spend all Easter painting.

Failed Mod 1 - need pepping up
daveinlim replied to Tigs's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Keep practicing. I did the exact same. Foot down on uturn but the rest was all fine. I did some practice on my 125, booked a half day with the training school. Passed 2nd time around. You can do it. It's all in your head. Get used to full lock turns in your 125. -
In the air box?

I've a jacket and trousers from armr ingot from SBS about 4 years ago. Wear it when it's bucketing down. Fully waterproof, light as there's no lining or protection (got all that under) soft around the neck. Still good as new after 4 winters. Bad points, it's black, not a good idea for winter, it would be great if it had a pocket that held the keys to my locks. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/390564

Father in law gave us one at Christmas. We've used it a lot since. Just don't over pack the thing. Did chicken thighs one day and was great. Tried fitting too much in and some of it was cooked and other parts raw. Clues in the name. Let enough space for air to flow.

I didn't realise they eat up tyres. Why do they wear out tyree faster than a standard ICE engine?
-
Sorted now, found someone to transport it for a good price. Update. FYI The cheapest quotes I got was through Shiply.com a comparison site.

I think I've sourced a new bike but will need it delivered. It's 300 miles / 5 hour each way. That's a bit longer than what I would like to do on day one with the bike. Can anyone recommend me someone that would deliver it for me. Online quote from anyvan is coming in about 270. Any recommendations that might do it cheaper and still do it safely. I know it's a long way so probably won't get much better than that.

I think my tyre's going bald.

Check what cover comes with. Will it cover your modifications, your helmet and other kit, allow passengers, riding other bikes, does it have legal cover etc. You'll need to click on each to find out but I'd avoid anyone with bad customer service reviews. Claiming on motor insurance is a nightmare as your cover is usually split between different sub companies. I can't say who is bad but price isn't everything

Pm'd you

Bike parking in London is a minefield. Some places you can park anywhere for free, some are free but only in designated bays, some you can only park in a baby and you have to pay. Often signs are confusing or just not there. I've been using an app called London bike bays and it's been quite helpful.

Wish I thought of this. I got new specs and now the sun visor doesn't close on my lid. I've taken the stickers off so can't even return the lid. Lesson learnt
-
I'd vote for second hand. You're not trapped in a pcp deal if you no longer like the bike. You can mod it without worrying about the terms of your PCP deal. Sell it or trade it easier and you'll likely lose less money that paying interest on a depreciating asset

Does it count if I was stationary and someone crashed into me
-
Both bikes are high on the list of people that are new to bikes and want to go as fast and crazy as they wish. They therefore have a high crash rate compared to other bikes and so higher premiums. I've heard guys say that buying a full size bike and restricting it was cheaper than just getting a bike that's lower power fro factory. Sports bikes will also be more expensive too. Maybe try a few quotes with other bikes like mt03 or restricted mt07

Had camera and surgical equipment shoved up there for kidney issues a few years ago. Fortunately I was under general anesthetic for it. But wow the pain when peeing for the week after was like battery acid. I had to sit and hold the walls in the first few days. Miserable thing to have done but great that you are all clear. By chance I'm sat in an oncology ward at the moment, family member getting some treatment.

I work in an office and wear a full suit. I leave my suit jackets in the office so dont have to commute with them. Also leave my shoes in the office. I wear my bike kit over these without any issues. I'd say go into your local shop as they will be able to help find a helmet and clothing that fits you right and in your budget.
-
Is that your nail? Did you slice the whole top off or cut a thick lump of skin off. Hope it can be fixed
-
Glad you and the bike are alright. Maybe leave the bike at home on snow days
-
That's what they say alright. If they find out about the incident and even if you don't claim you're premium will go up. Madness!
-
Structural damage wasnt too bad but needed all new plastics, lights, headlight housing and damaged engine casing, pegs and new exhaust. Would have nearly bought a new bike by the time all the bits were done so was forced into insurance. If it was something that would buff out I'd keep insurance out of it
-
I was stopped at lights and someone when into the back of me. Cant get much more non fault than that. I expected a rise but not literally double.
