Giving them a good wash with warm soapy water before riding will help get rid of the residue and give the tyres a bit of a head start to being scrubbed if you are really concerned on riding on really fresh rubber

Alternatively spend more time riding and enjoying it rather than worrying about how shiny your engine looks

You can't always change them just in warmer weather, it all depends on the circumstances, but if you're careful when riding on new tyres until they get scrubbed in then all is good

One item that caught my attention is the proposal of the A1 cat licence to be granted to full car licence holders, this would open up biking to more people as a more cost effective form of transport, yes people can do it now via completing and gaining a CBT cert, but then you either carry on with CBT forever or pass a test, but there are plenty of riders who are happy to ride 125's and i am one of those people, one thing i would like though is to up the power limit, Lexmoto have released a 250cc 17hp bike https://www.lexmoto.co.uk/models/LJ250-3V, which currently falls under the A2 category, it would be a great scenario if the A1 cat was upped to 250cc at say 18-20 hp, which would make it more suited to more people who just want to commute or don't want or need a big HP bike, it would be great to see how many people would be happy and content to ride upto 250cc if this was an available option

wearing them and riding bikes that would look like the POLICE from a distance, which in itself is not a bad thing as other road users will move to make way for them to get past, then once they see it says POLITE some road users could get a bit miffed, to save confusion wearing plain unwritten hi-vis clothing would be better, but being a courteous and responsible rider is much better for everybody and promotes bikers and biking more positively

It's not the vest as such, just the way that they are used or misused by the minority of the riders that wear them

Just added their wiki page to the first post where previous documents can be found

Some news that might be of interest to some https://wiki.mag-uk.org/images/f/fa/Network_2020-2.pdf Their main wiki page with access to previous documents https://wiki.mag-uk.org/index.php/Main_Page

The best advice will be to test ride as many as you can and then choose the one that suits you the best

Plenty of stories about of people's experiences with instructors, ranging from the the excellent to the one's that basically just sell the CBT to make a quick buck

It was about time they got rid of the crud https://www.bmf.co.uk/news/show/dvsa-cracks-down-on-rogue-instructors?fbclid=IwAR2EYhh7Ltndub9aXCx7lqjjADKUfaWGLeHSEH1fTYzHLwwXzIXjJlqPwvk

Number 39 on the updated menu

I've had a huge response on FB groups about this place.......all saying the same thing. Really weird.......cos there's no way I'd stay there.....it's too creepy. Apart from that I'm a 5 star hotel man anyway. Could be a very lucrative business opportunity, claim one of the buildings and open up a supply shop, food, water and other things

Would be a great place to camp for a few days, no need to worry about paying for board and lodging's, as long as you had enough supplies to last a couple of days would be ideal as a base to explore from

Just wondering if that charger isn't going to be a bit too powerful for a bike battery? I have several chargers for my batteries ranging from leisure batteries to the bikes. I use a 0.8ah charger on the bikes after my 5ah smart charger fried one. It may have a setting that winds it down of course, or you may only use it occasionally, so just kind of thinking aloud here. I've usually avoided using car chargers on bike batteries. It's a proper smart charger, it has seperate modes for bike,car, leisure, has a mode for calcium batteries and battery reviver, also capable of supplying a 12v 5a auxillurary power supply https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-cb09-12-8a-auto-battery-chargermaintai/

I was planning on taking Xena out this aft but sadly not to be, i knew the battery was on the low side so i hooked up my jumpstarter to trickle charge the battery this morning, tried to start her after a couple of hours but not enough to get her going, anyway took side panels off to do a direct jump and she fired up no probs, so this afternoon decided to use my MM vat free voucher to invest in a decent charger/maintainer i ended up getting the clarke CB09-12 8A nice bit of kit as it will also maintain my leisure battery

Hope you have had a good one

Well done [mention]Six30[/mention] Looking back i don't think i was cut out to be a twat

As you know there has been a recent campaign regarding MARMITE, and i have to say i am a convert i love the stuff, it is the best thing for practical jokes i have used for ages, try it for yourselves, smear some on the toilet seat and wait for the reaction , or another one walk into the room with it on your fingers and say " have we got any toilet paper"

F*ck you I'm a bigger twat than you Bigger is not neccessarily the best

Firstly i would like to thank Mr Pickwick for the nomination, as quite frankly there is no else fit to be called TWAT of the year, I will give my solemn promise to uphold this title until as such time that it is awarded to someone else ( highly unlikely ), my campaign is to show you good untwatty people why i deserve this highly coveted award, the official polls do not open till tomorrow but being a genuine and honourable TWAT, all is fair in love and war as they say, and i love being a TWAT and will wage war on those that oppose me, so let the battle begin and i will show you all what a TWAT i really am, thank you

I completely agree with this. I read a story a while back about the police ramming a prolific thief off a stolen scooter and after doing his best superman impersonation flying through the air he landed on the road and died. It really upset me seeing the mess all over the road, I cried, I was so upset I almost set up a gofundme page. It was a sad and tragic loss seeing that poor scooter in pieces all over the road I wanted to help with the cost of repairs. They shpuld have run him over a few times, then got his family to scrape up the remains

Looks like operation TWAT is a go then, well to help me with my campaign i have just made a coffee and will be munching away on these

No i still can't feel it [mention]MrPickwick[/mention] i think i should nominate myself and show you what a REAL TWAT is
