I think its your attitude that's the main problem here! Change it or you will probably fail again! .. Unless your "lucky". The examiners I've come across are all bikers themselves and actually want to pass you. All they're looking for is for you to ride safely and make progress! .. Its that simple!
-
If you are buying it on a PCP, although its perfectly ok to do it, non dealer servicing may affect the guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV).... As always .. read the contract!

Grant Shapps claims that Ron McKenzie of the RHA was responsible for the leak that fuel stocks were at 2/3 normal levels! .. McKenzie says he didn't brief anyone about a meeting which he knew nothing about! I wouldn't trust Shapps as far as I can spit! .. This piss poor excuse for a government will blame anyone it can for its incompetence!

It seems to be a bit pot luck! .. I bought a bike in July and the V5c came in a week .. My lad bought a car 6 weeks ago and hasn't received the V5C yet.
-
If you want to stop "panic" buying a better way would be for a minimum buy(for cars) of £50 .. and no cans! .. That would stop people with 3/4 full tank from topping up.
-
Mine too! .. But there was an option of a collision damage waiver for £10
-
It will depend on the agreement you signed at the start! .. A bit like car hire, you may be responsible for the excess or you may have a collision damage waiver! If there was no signed agreement I don't think you'll be liable for anything.

No queues at my local Tesco! .. They have no fuel!

You need a provisional licence, Theory test, Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests. https://www.gov.uk/motorcycle-test
-
You can do that and it will entitle you ride a bike up to 125cc only .. If later on you wish to ride a larger bike you'll have to take the tests again on a larger bike!
-
Just to take the test will cost £95 test fees plus £120 for bike hire and trainer to get you to and from the tests! £30 an hour training fee around Notts. How much training you will need is up to you.

The other ER5 restoration .

Too lean a mixture is more likely to make it run hot than having it too rich! -
If your bike is running badly after a rebuild it won't be E10 fuel that is the problem!

Take your test and stick him on the back!

Put gaffer tape over it inside and out! -

They can argue whatever they like but the examiners aren't stupid .. -

If they thought the speed limit was 20mph they will have kept under that (maybe speedo indicates 19mph) and their actual speed may have only been 17mph. .. " not responding in a timely way, to speed limit signs and other Highway Code issues". -
You won't get away from cars by doing 80mph on my stretch of the M1 so how fast are you going to go? 85? 90? .. then you'll lose your licence. As for indicating on the road/motorway .. I want people to know exactly what I'm going to do. The only place I usually don't indicate is going around parked cars!

I had my rear brake hose burst on my r1100rs last week so I've changed the lot for braided lines today. Just got to fit all the fairing back on.
-
It doesn't matter what sentence(if any) they get .. It doesn't fix my sons bike! Its already cost him £150 to get it out of the pound!

They made the local papers! Hammer thrown at police car from stolen motorbike. https://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/news/crime/hammer-thrown-at-police-car-from-stolen-motorbike-in-worksop-3339551

His excess is £500 so we'll give the bike a good check over and price up second hand parts and decide if he claims or not.
-
Well .. He's got it back! Indicators broke, gear lever bent, handlebars bent, petrol filler missing, right hand fairing broke, number plate missing, locks bust, mirrors gone and chain knackered.
