  1. Quoting the insurance is misleading to be honest. Some get ultra low prices and some get quote like mortgage prices.
  2. Yes I am tempted to get a box for it so I don't go taking too many cyclists out on my way to work
  3. After recently having the pannier frames re-powder coated I decided to make sure they fitted ok...Does my arse look fat now
  4. All empty around SE London
  5. Might uncover the bike and give it a wash. Well it's the only thing I can do as there's no petrol and bot the bike and car need fuel.
  6. The rider was most likely on their way to the Ace Cafe to continue riding like a d*ck
  7. The thing that makes you a strager is that you're new here. If you had been on the forum for a while that would be different, but two posts (both in this thread) makes you new aka a stranger. Yes I'm London based, but you state that you find the current crop of video's out there boring as they are mostly riding only video's and not interviews finding out about the riders/owners, but you then say that you want video's of the bikes revving, rolling shots and burnouts with an odd interview of two. Make your mind up please. I'll be passing on this one
  8. The Yamaha dealer I stopped at today looking for a handlebar bag to store my phone whilst riding. Whilst talking with the parts/service person, I said that I was looking to replace the exhaust for something a little louder (re commuting into central London) and he mentioned that a deal might be had on an underbike Akrapovic (Yam Tracer 700). I said that I wanted the model that sits underneth the bike and not the model that has the backbox going up the side of the bike. So I go home and pick the car up and get back to the dealer. I get the exhaust home and start unboxing like a kid at Christmas and guess what version they gave me! Yeap the one that goes up the side of the rear wheel! Gave them a call and he was in the workshop and they'd give me a call back! There I was looking at going for a ride to get the ECU used to the exhaust change before riding into London which is mostly traffic light grad prix central.
  9. My weekend starts early this week. Off on Friday to complete my charity abseil for the London Air Ambulance. Its only a year later than scheduled. Saturday will be a haircut in the morning then off for an extended ride due to driving around the country all week. Sunday will be the usual clay shooting
  10. Been using an EOS 20D then swapped to a 70D a few years back. They are capable of far more than what I could ever do
  11. Waved it off as the van pulled away, but at least my bank manager has a smile due to the extra funds.... Now what can I go and buy
  12. So tomorrow morning I'll be selling my 125, then I'm off the HelmetCity to get my Richa Infinity 2 jacket sent off under warranty (water proof lining not working) then I'm unsure what I'll be getting up to
  13. Joe that's the magic A20 roundabout where everyone gets in the wrong lanes. Happy that it's sorted and you're ok.
  14. So I had a cheeky little stop at Infinity clearance warehouse on my way back from Winchester. I needed another jacket as my Richa has to go back under warranty and I need another whilst that's away. I picked up an Halvarssons Walkyr, the sleeves are a little long but nothing too bad. £500 down to £250
  15. Sold for a small drink under the asking price.
  16. So I went and knocked on the door of the friend I was meant to go out riding with today, but his boss wouldn't let him come out to play. I had cleaned the bike, filled it up with petrol and the grumpy mare just wasn't having any of it. She's such a killjoy I then decided to make a lot of bikey type noises outside to wind him up whilst he stood at the window with a sad face and bottom lip protruding a fair distance.... I then left and went for a nice hours ride.
  17. The camera cars are usually either a range rover or discovery, the on bike stuff will be a 360
  18. I just couldn't and can't get motivated to work at present.
  19. I have priced it lower than dealers as I understand the dealer/warranty side of things. Even though the bike still have a manufacturer warranty until next June.
  20. Offered 3 lots of different overtime with work..... rejected them all as I need to clean the bike after last nights ride.
  21. @Mickly pop across to Morgan Porth and visit Pete and the team at Kingsurf for some lessons. Top bunch and you'll have a blast.
  22. I thought I'd try and.find out how many bugs and fly's I could catch on my helmet and visor
  23. I'd go with the £300 company if it was me
  24. Sorry to hear that. When I was doing my DAS I was on a CB650R and the other person was on the Z650. We swapped bikes at the end of the second day just to see what the 'other' bike was like and it put me off the Z650. Quite a lot of vibrations which the silky 4 pot didn't have. Did the training company give you a ride around the area before the test? They normally do this on at least one of the possible routes the test centre uses. You won't always be riding familiar roads, so paying attention to the small details are to bits that make a difference.
