I used a boost though! hoped to actually catch you

Only 11 points behind, you're really close now. Closer than any of the riders that are currently chasing for the title.

Well I knew 2 of my riders crashed out before the last 5 laps, thought it was going to be 3 but somehow MM managed to finish the race. When he has nothing to lose, he may as well try and finish the race at whatever position he can,

Lol, that's some funny last 5 laps I just witnessed. My riders did terrible this race. Haha.

I wanna go left field and put Nakagami in.... but I'm thinking Mir and Martin have to be sensible options... but when do I ever do sensible.... 

Nakagami always does well on practice days and then struggles on race days. I wanted to trade him too, I went with Rins as he's bound to do well soon since his form this season has been terrible. Don't know though, seems I've traded a bad rider for another one (in terms of performance this year); hopefully I'm wrong though but I've got nothing to lose....since I am last.

wtf vinales!!! @JackieOWheels you might want to actually sub him out this weekend!!!!

 

Haha, and I did!

Haha, I guess Yamaha finally made the choice for me to get rid of Vinales for this race,

I don't think I made any changes on this race. I should really have traded Vinales. (recurring theme for this year )

It's defo back alright, I'm all caught up on the FP sessions; don't know if I should make any changes though.

2nd half of the season baby!!

Leave tron alone. 

I believe you mean CLU

Though I do agree that the bike doesn't look good in that colour and I love Yellow bikes too.

Uh huh... and if you couldn't care less then why bother giving your input? you know... since you couldn't care less

Like you said, it's a forum. Don't you know how it works?

Why you mad? thought a forum was to ask a question and get answers. Not snarky remarks from middle aged men who think they're hard and clearly don't know how to work a forum site. How about you just keep it to yourself if you've not got anything useful to add or anything that would help the person asking the question. Simple common sense mate

 

I'm not mad at all, I couldn't care less if you're telling the truth or not

I mean I can send the certificate if you'd like since you're having such a hard time grasping the concept

Also, this is an oddly specific chat topic, wouldn't you agree jackie?

I'm not having a hard time grasping BS that's all. Like why did you even ask a question when you didn't even need it.

to all the nay sayers, mod 1 passed. they were really nice about it and didn't even probe me about having a restriction or not. they also didnt check for the insurance too so thanks to all the people that got me worried for no reason  

How do we even know what you said is true? Lol.

Scores!!

Mike Smith - 920

Old Grump - 710

Paul Kent - 230

JRH - 210

Mickly - 200

JackieoWheels - 170

Throttled - 160

Ian Frog - 120

Keeper96 - 70

Stu - 20

TimR - 20

Rennie - 10

 

Fantastic effort from everyone this year aespecially with all the madness, great photos although Paul Kent was almost docked some points for making me actually try and figure out what tea hut he had found as there was non existant labelling!!! Old Grump is probably leading in the greatest distance between tags (and bonus non scoring points for the tow truck picture!). Mike is storming ahead again and with a trip to Scotland on the books people better be afraid!!

 

 

 

This is the masterlist so if you don't agree you can go look and tell me what I have missed

I do like a good spreadsheet so I do!

I'm actually in the market looking for breakdown cover too, may check them out also.

Thing is, I'm insured because they dont check if you have it restricted tbf. I also have had an A2 for over 2 years

Oh right, if that's the case then when are you wheeling the bike in, shouldn't you just ride it in if they "don't check"

That's why it's secret....

 You're a Duke! Should we start calling your Duke Bullfrog?

@mike_smith, Hoggs has agreed that you will get the 50pts bonus when you complete all the petrol stations, Well done on all your locations so far though, that's some effort!

Blimey - they are looking good. Just over half the price for better cover, and they'll arrange cover to start up to 2 months in advance. 

 

Sorted. The clincher was their website can actually get my title right. A small courtesy but if they're willing to make the effort I appreciate it.

It's making me wonder if you have a secret title that we don't know about.

I will post a link when I get chance but they make mounts to adapt the BMW mount and power other sat navs or phones so if you don't have a BMW it may well be pointless! 

 

What are you actually after doing? 

Nothing, just wanted to see what other mounts they do. I already have a current setup that works well.

How are you insured ?

Am sure you're policy will state that you must hold the Correct Licence for the insured vehicle .

Which you currently don't so technically voiding your insurance which is worth 6 points  and then your riding otherwise in accordance to a licence which can carry 3-6points .

So if your licence us relatively new you have lost it already not to mention the fines .

Shall i continue ? 

 

So true, how are you insured to ride this bike? You don't even have the license? Even to be a named rider you need to have the license already.
Think about it logically, unless you stay the street away from the test centre, there is no way the test centre is going to think you wheeled the bike all the way from your house to the test centre if it's like 10miles away.

Like Paul, I only use an old iPhone 5 as my sat nav on that RAM mount so I have it in a waterproof case made by Lifedge. Brought it on eBay from an ex-seller of the company for a tenner so it's held up good so far. The rubber strap does need to be used to secure the phone to the mount, I've went through many bumps and it's held fine.

It's unique to the BMW mount and the XT but others are available 

Ah! what's the maker for this mount? I highly doubt there will be one for my bike, just being nosy to see what they offer.

thoughts on these please 

That looks exactly like the copy of the RAM mount, I have the RAM version and it's been good so far, so long as you make sure to use the butterfly rubber strap with secure the phone to the tips it should in theory be OK; can't vouch for the quality of this unit though.
