  1. How odd that so many people are so opposed to improvements in rider training and the consequent improvement in safety.


    With 1 in 10 currently dead or seriously injured within the first year of passing their test, something clearly had to be done, but as usual that "something" gets dismissed as unnecessary meddling.


    If my second son decides to ride he'll have to pass the new tests. At least he'll now have a better chance of surviving long enough to pass them...


    "Bring back the good old days... I really MISS dyptheria, polio and whooping cough!"

  2. That is a load of crap, I would get back in touch with someone more senior than the officers who turned up and ask since when did the police had over duties to insurance companies?

     

    Since the last delivery of donuts.


    My shoulder/neck still hurts. Must be whiplash.


    That'll slow down settlement. f**k it!

  3. i have topped up the radiator and the problem is still there, and i do not think it is the waterpump or thermostat, can anyone help me out with finding the cause of the problem?

     

    Does the fan cut in?

  4. U OK?

     

    Me? Yep :D


    Sorry, just reread my original post and realised it didn't actually say I was in the car, which is now a write-off :crybaby:


    Police were their usual efficient selves, turned up quite quickly and then did absolutely f**k all. "It'll be up to your insurers whether or not the lorry driver is reported" WTF! :shock:


    I don't wanna have to go car hunting f**k IT!!!!

  5. best to change chain and sprockets all at the same time.


    IMHO, go for DID X-ring.

     

    He's got a yuan renegade xgj-125, reckon he'll be able to find sprockets easily? :wink:

  6. Yeah it's adjusted all the way back on the adjusters so will be needing a new one nd was hoping to be able to buy a decent one off eBay that's a little stronger than a standard one any advice?

     

    So long as the pitch is the same you should be fine. If it's that worn you might want to check the sprocket too.

  7. a projector conversion with a HID kit installed would be your best bet

     

    Except that it's (probably) illegal, and about to become definitely illegal I understand.


    And judging by the number of bikes with ridiculously bright and maladjusted headlamps dazzling other road users at the moment, not before time! I for one am fed up with being temporarily blinded by selfish twats with illegal headlamps. :shock:

  8. oh. so were they just rumors that said that the one sown in the video was temporary and that they were changing them again around new year?

     

    Maybe. Are you sure the "rumours" were not just yet another consultation?


    I seem to recall that they originally said that the offroad stuff was going back on road around October when they were intending to dumb it all down again to MCN level.


    So who knows... :D

  9. that's what it was like on my test though.

    i thought they changed it to this a few months ago and then were going to change it again and make it harder this month or next?

     

    They won't ever make it harder! All the MCN lot that passed their test years ago would whine to much... again. And we all know it's far more important to please them than it ever would be to improve the standard of training in order to reduce the KSI stats.
