Problem With Phone Charging
JackieOWheels replied to Mickly's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Yup, Anker cables are my go to for cable choice, mainly due to the durability on them, brought one back in 2016 and it's still going strong today even after constant use/abuse from being taken with me everywhere I go. @Mickly, have a look on the cables that OptiMate sell, their O113 cables comes in a pair, one short cable and one long cable, the short cable isn't as short as 15cm but comes in at 30cm. Personally I find the short one too short, lol. Oh, good thing is it's only £4 on eBay. Lol, this was the buyer I brought mine from: Link here -
Ahhh, good old Vespa. I would love to own one in an not too distant future, that's literally the reason I pick up motorcycling, so I could ride one. Once I did DAS though, I thought I'll ride the other bikes on offer first before I go back to a Vespa....for now anyway.

Problem With Phone Charging

If the genuine Apple cable charges the phone fine then like @Stu says, it could be either the charging unit or the battery on the bike is dying so it's affecting the connection. -

Haha, I went to the exact same Thames station. -
Nice looking bike indeed. I wonder why the previous owner decided to add that ridiculously big BMW logo on the side when there is already one perfectly on the fairings.
-
Like others have said, I liked the old one but got used to the current one; can't really remember what the old one looked like now.

It was. No idea what happened to Quartararo indeed, in the replays you could actually see his chest protector fall out, I thought his zip broke but it does appear fine at the end of the race.

Rins is last year's Bagnaia (in terms of luck)

challenge 2021 Challenge 2021 - Discussion Thread

Woooo! 50pts! Must try and head towards @husoi direction as that's an easy 50pts if I tag the ones near him. -
Welcome to the forum, TPFT or TPO will probably work out cheaper but I would go against those since you said you brought your bike brand new from Honda. You will find loads of posts on here from folk who will no doubt have tried most the 'good or bad' insurers. You could also try giving the one that this forum advertises Bikesafe a call to see what quote you get?

I wonder how fast this wee scooter can go, I for one would like to see how it compares against a manual pedal cycle bike. I guess this would work well in the same market as a segway. Lol.

@Hoggs, do we get 50points once we get all the petrol stations? On your description it doesn't mention it so not sure if we all it or not. -

Right, got some more tags today since I was off and weather was nice. Ride On Motorcycles Ltd - since that's the only tag in Glasgow. Gulf (which replaces Texaco) Thames (which replaces Applegreen) and Jets. So all Petrol stations done. One pub with "Pheasants" in the title. -
Ooft, just when I thought Apple was trying to protect privacy for users it goes and releases something like this. Lol.

CBT - Experiences of other Members
JackieOWheels replied to slanty's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Yeah, he said he didn't feel like he was on the bike for more than 10mins as they just started the exercise with going round in a circle and then told shortly after to stop. There was only one other rider with him but that rider already knew how to ride so didn't need to practice much, my mate said the other rider was already moving on to the 2nd gear and was slow controlling the bike. I thought it was crap how he was told so quickly to come back next time when the instructor should have spent more time with my mate as the other rider was more experienced so less time was needed to "train" the other rider. -
Yeah, the range for bluetooth is typically 10metres.

I think the bad outweighs the goods from your description @Bender Questions is are you going to get one? I have an iPhone but I don't think I would buy one.

CBT - Experiences of other Members
JackieOWheels replied to slanty's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
So this is not my CBT experience but one of my mates who just recently did his. I'm not familiar with the school he went with as it's not one of the ones I've heard of when I did mine; he just went with this school as they had availability sooner (will probably explains why after reading this) but had good reviews. My mate paid full price for his CBT and was told about 10mins into his CBT that he was not getting it and was told to come back at a later date for a "taster session", the thing that my mate was not able to do was regulate the throttle steadily on first gear and the instructor thought he was going to end off riding the bike into the fence; he was also told to not have left hand on clutch at all and just control the bike with the throttle. The instructor never gave him enough time to get familiar with the bike, he never even dropped the bike one. I was shocked when he told me his CBT training was cancelled after that. What does everyone else think? That’s not right, right? I told him in my CBT, my instructor told me to get the biting point on the clutch and then no matter what revs I was doing on the throttle the bike was controlled, and if the bike did go too fast to gently tap the rear bike. I told him to go with another school but it's difficult as everyone is trying to get their CBT just now. -

Thanks to this, I now have 2 extra tags that I can use now too. Whoooo! -
I think I would have done better if I just stuck to the same 4 riders I started with. Just going to have to hold onto these riders and see how they do. #TeamSuzuki is over.

Lol! Just saw the results so spoiled the race for me. I guess that's Game Over for me this year, I highly doubt I'll be able to catch up now.
