  1. I sometimes wonder if [mention]Six30[/mention] is a made up troll, a [mention]Stu[/mention] alter ego. I have thought about starting a forum before and spoke to someone in the know who suggested a few characters to keep it entertaining.
  2. Lexmoto Falcon 125. I love it and hope to keep it until it dies.
  3. Every year without fail I watch ‘It’s a wonderful life ‘ I love the film. Usually wrap presents and drink port at the same time.
  4. Yay! Pics when you ct

    Birthdays

    There are 10 kinds of people in the universe. Those who understand binary and those who do not.

    Birthdays

    Gender isn’t binary, gender is a social construct and what it means to be a man or a woman varies within societies and between societies and cultures. Manlyness has many faces and womanlyness does too. It’s easy to denigrate political correctness and it does go too far sometimes however the idea that being sensitive to, and valuing difference is a bad idea is a little galling.
  7. Oh the Mirrors were terrible. Almost entirely blind spot. I fixed some after market ones to the handle bars and can see behind now.
  8. I remember seeing all that stopping power at the front of your bike.

    Birthdays

    My, maybe limited understanding, is/was that there are only two chromosomes, X and Y but that it is possible to have more than two combinations of them as described and also there can be damage to one or mutation on them.
  10. I have nothing to compare the breaks to experience wise but I get in fine with them. I am mostly on the rear break if not using the engine to slow down. A habit from car driving I think, using the foot break. I am really quite cautious in not optimal conditions so suspect any risk of losing the front end is mitigated at least a bit by that. [mention]Tango[/mention] I checked where Getontius’s thread was. Didn’t even know there was one for reviews. Thanks for moving it. Hope to get L plates gone in the late spring.

    Nowadays you'll need a bigger box than if you're asking for their life history. Funny how scientists can still only find 2 chromosome arrangements though. That would be the difference between sex and gender I suppose.

  16. Inspired by [mention]Gerontious[/mention] I decided to post something similar about my Lexmoto Falcon 125. I bought it new in June, 2k on the road. I hadn’t done any research or joined a forum. I just figured new would be more reliable than second hand and I needed a finance deal. I have now done 1757 (I think) miles on her, two big (for a125) trips of Colchester to Birmingham and then later to Bristol and back from Birmingham. By far the majority of the riding has been in Birmingham for work and commuting purposes. I am sadly biased because like with my first car I love her/it. Bad bits: went through a phase of not starting, all the electrics cutting out when I tried and resetting the clock. I stoped trying to start it in neutral (for no good reason) and the problem went away (including I can now start in Neutral). The materials finishing is not good. For those who remember me needing so much help, thanks [mention]fastbob[/mention], changing oil, the filler cap had a bit like head on it which is almost turned to a circle because the metal is like Edam in consistency and the sump plug is wrong and too long meaning I cannot get it out without taking off the exhaust. In addition the fairing panels have cracked where the bolt is on some (not by me overtightening things but noticed when I took them off). The little fixings are made using cheap metal and I have replaced a few of the screws and bolts because they have no disxernable thread on after one removal and attempt to replace. Now the good bits, I get 180 miles for about 11 pounds. Anything up to 55 mph and she is super happy and does th job. I can do more as long as not into a head wind and I have done 70 (according to the clock) on a still day. I love the way she sounds, sort of popping sounds sometime when I rev. I think she looks ace. No idea of the longevity of it but I have not gotten bored with her at all. Going to work and between places of work is a joy and has helped me cope with a crap new job. In future I would like a bigger bike so I can do trips to the Peak more easily but I cannot see me changing even after passing my test (hopefully next year) until Lexi is paid off. So far really happy with purchase with the criticisms above to one side.

    Just a note of caution; effectively publishing exact dates of birth might not be cool from a data security perspective? Happy to be thought to be overreacting.
  18. Is the side stand down? My bike has a kill switch on the side stand? Failing that is there an engine cut out switch on the handle bars? I have both and have been caught out by both
  19. I have cheap synthetic armoured outer layers that did not keep me dry a few weeks ago. Yesterday in the hopping wet I tried my hillwalking waterproofs underneath. That is now the system I shall use on days I know it is going to rain. Dry and warm in absolute cats and dogs

  22. Toilets, roads and veganism?
  23. Misanthropy is a banner I can really get behind! Well carry on my own for obvious reasons.
  24. Perhaps any generalised bashing should be avoided. You know so that we can avoid being wallys
