  1. I’ll update the thread when I know more.
  2. I’m not going to talk too much about the how’s and wherefores until I know what’s going to happen. I’m gutted and shitting myself. Never had a point on my license before now might lose my license.
  3. I’m not sure. Possibly. I have spoken with a solicitor to see if they have any advice or can help. They think they can help but at a steep fee. One worry I have is what about last weeks NIPs if I was speeding then too? There could be ten in total
  4. A 38 after Edgebaston towards the city.
  5. [mention]Copycat73[/mention] i’m not posting of the NiPs because they have information about me on but...
  6. A thirty limit, 9. 14, 15,17, 18 over the limit. I know I’m a dick for this please no critical comments, I am anxious about the consequences and the possible ramifications.
  7. I have brakes now!! Given my other thread I wonder when I will get chance to properly test them.
  8. In my car because my bike is off the road I hasten to add
  9. Today I got five notices of impending prosecution in the post. Am I absolutely stuffed. Consequetive days for the way to work. I was speeding, I knew I was speeding it is my fault.
  10. Bleed banjo until there is pressure and then bleed callipers again?
  11. Is it do that and repeat like at the bleed nipple? When do I stop?
  12. I have fitted the brakes back and I am trying to bleed them. I get no air coming out of the bleed nipple but also no pressure against the leaver and the brakes do nothing. Help
  13. I wonder if [mention]Ms_G[/mention] is in fact not a him? Question for the others is it better to clutchless change then? None of you have told me this before?!
  14. I have a cheap Leopard modular with drop down sun screen thingy. I wear prescription glasses. It does an okay job, my preference with sunny weather is my prescription sun glasses. The visor will do a job. But not as good as sunnies. I have no problem with the wearing of glasses and using the visor.
  15. What size piping? Sorry if this is a stupid question, once been in the sun all afternoon at the allotment and I am now hard of thinking. If I can get the pipe tomorrow I’ll try tomorrow evening then I have a day off on Tuesday to tackle the carbs.
  16. [mention]gymwitch[/mention] make sure you link to this from the resto thread as well as in the other direction. For some people the human story is more interesting.
  17. Just ask [mention]Stu[/mention] to move this one, keep the whole story in one place?
  18. Inspiring! Nice one, will watch it with my family if they will put up with me watching it.
  19. Wahooo!!
  20. I rode with a pair of DM work boots for ages and had no problem. I put on a dilapidated old pair of my instructors when I did my DAS and immediately ordered some second hand proper but cheap boots off fleabay. My current ones would be 89 new I think or maybe less, I got them for about twenty quid and they are infinitely better. I bought cheap everything to start and it did the job, things like wearing my mountaineering gear underneath meant I was good for all seasons. A little while ago I spent about the same on second hand reasonable gear as I had spent on cheap new and will do the same for ever more now. Heinz Garrick stuff is often reasonable on eBay and my second hand trousers and two jackets are both really good.
  21. I am truly excited for you
  22. “squeeeee”
  23. Thank you all, I am really chuffed. I think heat tolerant paint was the wrong way to go but not to worry. First time doing this I did not protect the paint enough from the brake fluid. Tomorrow I need to learn how to bleed I wonder if I need anything for that that I don’t have. On a video I half watched earlier there was a tube In use.
