  1. I'm Using the bike on a daily basis! Its draining the battery after around 8 hours of non use. Its a second hand bike. from 2005. The battery isnt going to be perfect but it was replaced last year.
  2. So i did it! I brought a Varadero And i am officially back on a bike after almost 2 years! But i do have a slight problem! I have a datatool alarm on the bike. And Even though I've only had the bike since sunday I have noticed that it seems to drain the battery super fast! Could anyone give me some tips to try and combat this? Or is it a case of new battery?
  3. i used to ride my 125 with my front up at around 55MPH down the lanes and stuff, i dont see why they would class it as illegal as it would still protect your head completely. i also passed around 18 coppers doing an escort from gloucester to chepstow once when some dunce in a lorry took a wrong turn and was far to wide for the road. and i had my helmet up as it was hot and he never said a word, infact he nodded smiled and rode on and he was on a police bike.
  4. i have a caburg and they do give less room for the chin. or atleast i find it anyways + there loud
  5. Riding in the fog is really nerv racking. or atleast i think so. heres a few tips i find that help me out. First off. the speed limit is not a target. in the fog your visibility is drastically reduced for obvious reasons. riding at the speed limit or abit faster can be fun. but not in the fog. second. Dont use full beam on your lights. to cagers this is old news. but the fog does reflect your light back at you. third. your visor in the fog can be a pain in the arse. it restricts your view. a square meter of fog contains over a gallon of water. your visor will get wet and restrict your vision more. my advice is to not have it down whilst riding in the fog. the fog is incredibly cold. its a wet cold which can cause tyres to loose alot of heat if you ride into a fog, slow down. take it easy and keep the bike as straight as possible. your tyres can get slippery Wrap up warm! with all the cold wind and water you will get wet and cold. best advice is to wrap up warm take heat packs in your pockets if you have some (thanks mojo) and breath steadily. with all the water in the air your body will take it in and it will cause you to sweat which ultimatly makes you cold defeating the object of the waterproof gear. avoid it! avoiding fog isnt always possible as i found out today. but if its possible to avoid then do. common sense really. Comfort. i found that on the road i was on it was comferting to talk to myself. i could see one cats eye at a time and going round corners i couldnt see the reflective barriers. i rode home from my uncles doing about 20 MPH the whole way looking about 3 feet infront of my tyre. i was scared. i found talking to myself on what to do next helped me alot with braking and using the gears to slow down. get visible! the higher visibility people have of you. the better! riding at slow speeds on a busy Aroad can get dangerous. you never know what cager or even other biker might be acting the fool. so make sure you can be seen from as far a distance as possible. i find that. during daytime fog. dark clothes work better as they can be seen through the white mist. and at night as always high visibility jacket if you have one. hope this helps someone
  6. me and my friend just doing some work down around the ground of our bikes have noticed a very very small hole in the underside of my exhaust. its not anywhere thats going to cause damage to my engine or any of that. it would be extremely difficult for water to get into the hole. however. just out of curiosity will this hole cause any problems im not worried about the fumes it may cause becuase obviously they cant get into my helmet however im more worried about if it will do any damage to the engine. it looks like its been made with a pin. theres minor rust around it but i have started clearing it as its not set in properly. im just worried if im gnna end up needing to pay alot of money Cheers in advance. hurtank

    health help.

    so when i get my new bike i have a few minor things that are needed to be changed. first off the tires i find are extremly thin. is there anything i can do about this? also. chain is rusty. it still works fine but considering some of the longer journeys im gnna be doing should i replace it? its only 15 quid but i dont really want it hurting me or the bike in a freak* crash.
  11. theres another guy on forums from chelt called tom. he rides a kawazaki SV650 its nice wanna show him my new bike when i got it on the road
  12. malmsbury is other side of tetbury. or if you go through ciren its about 5 more minutes i cant wait to get it
  13. dont take the mick. i dont mean speak posh, i mean speak properly like spell stuff properly and dont sware. im getting it from malmsbury about 15-20 miles from myne. boring ride. and bloody cold. but not too bad. wont be riding this home though. it needs a new back tyre first. and i need to insure it. premium wont go up on this i dont think
