  1. I did mine on a cbr400...no problem. Did borrow an ultrasound bath from husbands work. Bought a new carb kit. I did it all by youtube vid. Never done anything like it before. Bike sounds lovely. Podspeed uk the youtube channel.
  2. Who do i pay? Need to do it asap before theres FA in my accnt. Ill do £20
  3. Ohhh i like the look of those. I hate mine.
  4. From a womans point of view i dont understand the men who allow another person to stop them doing something they want to do and i dont understand the women stopping them. Andy and i just get on with it. He sails, i tried it for 2yrs...gave it a really good go and i hate it. I admire other people doing it but nah not for me. I cant sail with him cos we cant be in the same vessel at the same time....not good. I cant imagine being his pillion either so when he said he wanted a scooter i thought id better get my own then. See if i like it...if not ill get on the bsck of his and just deal with it but i loved it so got a bike. Dont like the scooter thing. I got a horse, well i loaned her, Andy thought they were massive money eaters....i borrowed another horse and we went out together a few times. He loved the horse because he took the time to get to know her because it meant a lot to me. Thats what a marriage should be about. We are best friends....kinda
  5. Not sure where to put this but thought it worth sharing for us in t'north
  6. Finally sorted back wheel out on 125. Bit of corrosion underneath the new brake disc was stopping it seating flat...thought the disc was warped, thought the wheel was warped but nope. Cracking now. Got the dreadmill sorted too. Bikes running well and im not running well plan to change that though Also fitted a super duper bulb in 125. It kept going out on the darkest bit of back road on way home from wotk....really chuffing handy that, so in the panic id put full beam on and then both bulbs would come on so oncoming cars were giving me the full beams and dazzling me then id hit the switch, car would pass and im back in darkness Such fun. Luckily im not of a nervous disposition !!!
  7. Disc Locks and chain it to something and a cover. Not an expensive cover just a bog standard one.
  8. My OH wears dailies for sailing and sometimes biking...doesnt have any issues. I wear varifocals cos i cant see my clocks now and have worn glasses from 2 years old...i cant get on with contacts. We both have pinlocks and flip fronted full face helmets. Id say give it a whirl. I do wash my specs with washing up liquid before i go on the bike...stops em fogging.
  9. I think the massive breakthrough is when you suddenly realise its all down to the abuser and has absolutely nothing to do with you as a person. It would have happened to anyone that was unfortunate enough to be around those sorry sad excuses of human beings. Its not personal. Its their problems not yours and doesnt have to define you anymore.
  10. Great thread !!! Im lucky. I have a great husband now. Lockdown hasnt really affected us. Im self employed and can zoom classes on the interwebs. We dont go out much other than on the bikes. Andy works stupidly long hours, my two blind old dogs keep me company. I have 2 grown up sons to my ex husband who was a narcissistic sociopath. I ran away from him when i was heavily pregnant with my second son after he threatened to take a hammer to my babys head. Told him i was going to the shop after he had calmed down from one of his usual rants and never went back. He took all our clothes and belongings, photos etc... and destroyed them and left me in debt, then he died 2 years later. My relationship is strained to say the least with the lads. It cripples me. My eldest is undiagnosed Aspergers and ptsd from his afghan tour. We used to be the 3 muskateers and so very close. Now we couldnt be further apart. My childhood, early adulthood was horrendous. I dont really have 'things' other than my bike. I could pack what i own and consider important in my tiny car. I stay afloat annihilating myself in the gym. Its my drug. Martial arts kept me sane when i was younger, the gym and the bike keep me sane now. I truly worry for people in this lockdown particularly those in violent and or abusive relarionships. Im lucky. Theres worse off than me.
  11. [mention]Tiggie[/mention] im a bit vertically challenged myself but the guy who is still looking for his dick has just said hes beginning to regret poking the bear.
  12. Yet there is scientific proof ( just ask Dr Hilary ) that chicken soup helps fight off colds and flu That is true. A study of jewish people who eat a lot of chicken soup/broth rarely get cancer of the digestive system, bowels etc...
  13. Yes im vegan and teetotal. Work in a strongman gym where a plate of red meat and a box of doughnuts is considered clever and worthy of a fat fisted fist bump. Im not preachy and after 4yrs its only just becoming known that im vegan. I blocked my boss on facebook today and told one of the coaches to go f#ck himself if he could lift his gut flab up high enough to find his dick. Its getting really tedious now and im starting to retaliate and also looking for another job. Im more annoyed as i dont preach at anyone about their lifestyles, im not arsed what people do, eat or drink. Im a bit hurt to be honest by their ganging up on me buuut more than capable of fighting my corner. Theres just no need. Is it a threat??? I dunno.
  14. Absolutely go with someone else and i bet you wont be the first that has done that from that place. Im so lucky with our training school. He really couldnt do any more for me. Lovely man with bags of patience. Good luck and i hope your next instructor treats you better.

    Hey everyone

    Hi fb is no fun anymore
  16. Put new rear brake pads on and new spring clip. Put new indicator relay on and its faulty so im still grounded
  17. My cbt was awesome. First one was on a rev and rip. Rode it 20mins the night before. The guy was totally smazing. Second one ive done was on a geared bike and again no experience to speak of but the instructor could not have been more oatient and helpful. Just doing DAS with the same chap. Nothing is too much trouble with this guy. We have since sent 3 people to him.
  18. You mean like a 'safe space' for chinese bikes.
  19. Ive decided not to go round kicking people in the face and take up sailing instead
