FallingDown

Feel for you guys. Must be hard for anyone that hasn't got a car than can use at the moment. Stories like yours make me realise how easy I have it right now

I reckon a little bit of oil has come out of the breather and has dribbled down to the sump plug which is at the lowest point on the engine. Here you go . The crankcase breather will usually be plugged into the air box so have a poke around in there and to will probably find a bit of oil lurking around .

 

Thank you, I'll take a look at this before and after I clean the bike and see if I can spot anything.

What would the best course of action be if this is the problem? Is it an easy fix? Or am I gonna die trying

 

There probably isn't any problem .

The joys of Honda ownership. Good luck, sure it's probably nothing to worry about once you've cleaned it up and checked your oil level

I am very lucky that I have to commute to work every day as I am now working 4 full days and 3 half days. (local council)

glorious weather lately.

sometimes I take a 'wrong turn' on the way home and a 25 minute journey takes an hour. silly me eh...

Yes. Silly you

I suppose these people have got to find some kind of outlet now that the Jeremy Kyle Show has been axed .

 

Never watched I’m a Jerry springer man.

So how fast do you go fast bob.

 

Well , this time last year I had a GSXR 1100 that I had up to 140 mph a couple of times I think . It's quite hard to see the numbers on a 200 mph speedo when you wear reading glasses . Anyway since I'm knocking on a bit I decided that a change of pace and style was in order so I got myself a Harley Davidson Sportster . It can do about 110 mph but that's not the point . I tend to ride according to the road conditions as speeds ranging from 60 to 80 . In actual fact I rarely look at the speedo because I'm too immersed in the whole Harley experience .

Ahhh Bob you took the bait. Disappointed in you.

I'm just waiting for Dynax to do the big reveal...

 

Still waiting for deliveries

but as soon as my special items arrive i will be on it

A replacement Chrome Vanadium to replace one that fell off your bike?

I hope you're doing ok mate, you did everything anyone could have done. My brother and I were in a similar situation ourselves but the poor guys friends were so worried about causing a neck/spine injury they wouldn't let us touch him even though he clearly wasn't breathing.

I highly recommend the Biker Down Course. They run them all over the country and its normally given by the fire brigade. It's totally free, guy wouldn't even accept my donation for the tea and biscuits fund. Friendly casual environment, no test etc and you even get a free first aid kit to keep in your bike. They aren't even surprised when you ask to sit in the truck like a 5 year old.

They teach you how to manage the scene, move the casualty, helmet removal, CPR as well as practices to keep you safer when you are riding.

Could be a bit nuts out there when we can go be out. Be safe everyone

 

Thanks for the recommendation, @FallingDown

I did not know about the Biker Down course, just subscribed to their facebook page to get updates when they are next in the area. Thanks!

You're welcome. The more we can spread the word the more likely someone will be able to help us out should we ever need it.

Has anyone actually got some current statistics on the number of cyclists who end up in A&E as a percentage of total admissions? It surely can't be much, and with the huge reduction in motor vehicles on the road at the moment there is probably no safer time to get out there.

I'd be interested to see if castigating cyclists for burdening the NHS is actually supported by any hard evidence. Not interested enough to bother finding out for myself, obviously: I've got a mug of tea and a packet of ginger biscuits that require my attention...

We dont need data, we're all scientists now

My mate owns a cycle chop. Has never been so busy. There are going to be winners and losers in this but ultimately if they are doing more than the hour a day then they are no better than the bikers out for a ride.

The hour walking, running, cycling has been allowed to enable people to stay or get healthy and help with immune system, stress and mental illness. I guess these have been chosen as the three things most people could have access to without having to stray far from home. I'm sure there are open water swimmers that think that should be allowed and many other activities but it isn't. People are starting to get hostile and jealous. I get shitty looks and the w@#ker sign on my drive to work from people out walking their dog, but then that was happening long before Coronavirus

Look up magic potions and spells on eBay. Take a look at the reviews. People are dumb

Wearing s helmet is planning to fail. A real biker would do it wearing only his pants and close his eyes once he gets above 50Mph. I believe in you bro, go for it.

 

Dude I almost had you.

Could have the same ending

Mate I can tell you how to get free fuel from ANY petrol station in the country totally legit. Not stealing or breaking any law, just a legal loopholel I learned. I tell every fully paid up (6 months minimum) member of the forum this information TOTALLY FREE.

Do I need to worry that someone else on here might believe this????

If one more f****r, and that includes the staff ,tries to brush against me in the Co-Op I'm going in with a f*****g broom handle dipped in shit ! To be fair the aisles are too small so I may be forced to get the bike out and go to Sainsbury's .

Where I am the technique seems to be if someone wants to get to something on the shelf you are near they tip toe the last few places then stand on one leg which they try to keep as far away as possible, and slowly lean in taking the item between there fingertips.

The first half hour where they only let NHS staff in is fine, people will use another aisle or wait at a distance while you get what you want from the shelf and normally I manage to get out before it ends but was shopping for 4 households today due to isolations so I was still there.

I'm going about every 10 days to reduce risk but I think it would be safer to go for 25 mins every day. Unfortunately haven't got enough gloves to maintain that.

Message is still not getting through to most people.

Your shitty stick idea may need adopting

Third party used to be cheaper but now its often the most expensive as they think you are a scroat so charge 3 times what fully comp is, go figure

 

It used to be but as said above. Also they know that they can always makeahite up like we not paying.out because it's a bank holiday and you didnt have suncream in your bag .

We not.paying out because you had the right indicator on the left and the left indicator on the right but there universal dont matter .

Dont think you get a good time because your your fully comp.compred to tp.f.t they screw you if then can no matter what..

Agreed. As far as I'm concerned insurance is just what you pay to stop being harassed by the police.

The next invasion will be American if we're not careful

Most of the time fully comp is cheaper

 

Oh ok I just assumed third party was cheaper

Yeah I was surprised to find this out but does seem the case. Maybe not for younger folks I'm not sure. Compare the market lets you put in the details once then tweak thinks like cover level and excess to see what works. Also if your job isn't that specific look at your occupation. It can make a big difference.

Got an indoor shooting range, and also making some holsters for my revolvers, so that relieves some of the boredom

 

Are you in America? I though it was only them that gave guns to nutcases. Does explain all the bean cans though.

Sounds very cool. Pics?

 

Air guns, CO2 powered, got 3 revolvers, 1 rifle and a pistol/rifle combo

This is my sofa range

and a couple of my revolvers

Very nice. Here's mine. Always fancied a Bodie and Doyle style concealed holster. Not to conceal it, just because I want to be Bodie

Hi all, any rabbit breeders out there? I am looking to keep rabbits in my chicken coop (not at the same time)

I made the coop quite high so I didn't have to bend to clean out and collect eggs.

I made a ramp from the nesting/roosting part down to the run area so the birds could walk back up to roost.

Will the rabbits do the same thing, will they use the ramp to get to the sleep feed area or will they stay overnight in the run?

Rabbits will, but Guinea Pigs won't. I know that wasn't the question but alot of people that keep a rabbit end up putting GPs in for company

If you had a bb gun you could shoot them

 

Sainsbury's have got some Nerf guns on sale at the moment, was thinking about getting one myself which are even safer to use than my current guns

What if you soaked the nerf projectiles in petrol and tape a lighter to the end of the nerf gun?

British innovation at its finest

Probably not no, I'm sure we're all tempted to take our bikes out at the moment but please leave it tucked away until non essential travel is allowed.If you need to use it to get to work, or shopping etc then it's fine to use still.

 

How is it me riding my bike solo as one a day exercise any different than my neighbour cycling? If anything people cycling are more exposed.

INB4 fuel - well I use app anyway and pay at the pump.

Note I do stay at home now and don't ride the bike.

But my question is about the written rules - are there any rules written by the UK government about motorcycling now specifically?

Again......

If you say you're not planning to ride in Brecon you're gonna get me kicked off this forum

What bike are you riding @mooip123 ?

 

I'm only on a the 125 still on l plates but I love the long rides

You'd be welcome to tag along with my little group sometime. We are on cruisers so can keep it at a 125 pace. We've all been learners and know the importance of riding within your limits. I'm useless with the directions but my brother gets us to all the good roads. Breakfast, coffee and cake feature quite heavily on our rides.
