Saw two guys demoing this on BMW adventure bikes at Motorcycle Live yesterday and as you would expect make it look ridiculously easy edit: the thing I don't think I'll be able to do with this specific technique is pulling the clutch in - the one time I did that when I panicked whilst doing my mod1 training the bike went to the ground awfully quickly...

I need to buy a tent now too? Crikey the list of stuff you need to buy in the first year of biking truly does never end

I still haven't worked out what the two stands selling three metre long phone charging cables were there for. You could get the excess wire stuck in your sprocket.

We had a veritable feast

Buying a neck tube thingy Sales lady: "you know they're two for £15?" Me: "Yes, but I only have one neck....."

Glad that we're not the only cheapskates that brought a flask...

Look for the couple involved in a role reversal, where the husband is attempting to convince his wife not to spend so much money on bike stuff

I was half expecting you to include in that sentence "with one arm"

They attempted to flog a 'show guide' during the ticket buying process, do they hand out at least a basic floor map? I've never exhibited at a show where the attendees aren't given a map without having to pay for it....

Pop over to the table in the corner I will buy you a pint while you make use of the WiFi The funny thing is, if you were in a Wetherspoons I could buy *you* a pint from my sofa via their app. A very handy feature.

You've given away their wifi secret too, now we can all get online and use it

I wasn't there, but Karl seemed relatively forthright and OK with it? Hopefully that is the way he sees it, in which case no harm done and as [mention]Speedy23[/mention] says honest mistake in that case

I fricking knew it, print at home

£1.50 fulfilment fee? Hate when companies do that. I bet I'll have to print off an e-ticket or something, which then makes me moan out loud at my computer about what exactly they're fulfilling. Then like all good Brits, I'll just pay it anyway and suck it up.

Well, I think I finally have to accept I'm not winning any tickets from any of the competitions I've entered, [mention]Magpie84[/mention] has been told what day off she has next week so looks like we'll be at the NEC discovering lots of people telling us we really need to buy stuff we never knew we needed on Tuesday

All I know is that the only decent microwave has two controls: powah and time. These fancy ones with touch buttons and "pizza" settings are just pointless.

Whoever this guy is, he's a f*cking genius! For fear of derailing the thread and incurring the wrath of the mods, this is the last one I'll post. Different guy I think but same idea ">

I have a habit of sending this to an old work colleague a couple of times a year, ever since he had to walk out of a meeting when someone put it on the projector. He was pretty much hyperventilating "> Normally time sending it with whenever he seems to be having a tough time of it, our own personal rickroll

I'll be amazed if this hasn't been posted in here before, but I'm not going through 69 (chortle) pages to check, so if it has you get to enjoy it again

You might first want to check the success of every bike number plate scheme that has been tried around the world. I can break the surprise to you but I don't want to ruin your enjoyment of doing a bit of research ps London hire bikes all have registration numbers on them, I'll let you guess how many times they've been used in reports to the police pps I have 3rd party insurance, as do many other cyclists

I honestly think I'd have to take the shaving mirror off the wall and duct tape it to the side of my car

No idea if a Polo of that age would come with electric folding mirrors, but can you not manually push them out if they weren't working? (I've never owned any)

Actually on reflection, at the end of the day they would have only hurt themselves, my car would have been repairable. Nob of the day is this idiot. I really cannot fathom how people drive with a wing mirror tucked in. I'd feel like I'd lost a limb, honestly. This moron somehow had BOTH.

This Yamaha rider Who took the most amazing early turn in to a gentle right hand bend and nearly connected with my offisde wing I can only assume they exited the (equally innocuous) left hand bend badly and were in trouble for the right. The only reason I'm referring to the rider as a nob (as I know we all make mistakes) was I don't want them catapulting over my bonnet on my conscience. And it would make the "Think Bike Think Biker" sticker in my rear window look a touch silly. This is the turn from the rider's POV....

My trusty cheap Titan one from Screwfix has served me well and is compatible with any other head. Mains powered, the first one I bought from Screwfix was battery powered and was a nightmare, they swapped it with no issues.
