  1. On a provisional then you'll have lost that provisional. You'll not be allowed to ride until you've passed another CBT.
  2. I'm 1 week down out of the minimium of 4 weeks I'm not allowed out on the bike, cant even really work on it either.
  3. I got told not to ride the bike for just over a month. Hernia ops suck the fun out of life but have to be done I suppose. Just now bored until I'm allowed to do stuff again.
  4. Only the DVLA if it's a permanent change of colour, if it's just a wrap then no.

    Ear plugs

    I've got the Ultimate Ears molded and have no real issues with allday wearing, I was working on a site that had the foam ones and grabbed a couple. All done in the name of testing I hope you understand. I didn't find they worked as well in my ears as the molded, but we're all different so it's whatever works best for you.
  6. Valve clearance done at the local dealer.... Good job I get paid on Monday
  7. Not today, but yesterday. Went out for a little bimble with the local dealer and a few customers. Started in SE London around 5:30 heading down to Seaford (Eastbourne), which started as dry, 40 mins in it was spitting, hour later RAIN!!! Still it didnt stop us, and got back home at 10:30ish. Put the bike away, All the gear on the drying rack and the lining removed from the helmet. The Halvarssons Walkyr jacket kept the top half bone dry other than a slight wet neckline. The Alpinestars Andres Drystar over trousers also worked really well until about the last hour, but mostly just wet around the bootline and a slightly damp crotch area. Gloves were from Roadskin Easyrider, well we all know gloves never hold up that well. Checked this morning and the jacket was bone dry, the trousers still a little damp, the boots (SMX6 Goretex) still heavily wet and now have newspaper placed inside to help but expect them to take a few days to dry out. Still you cant beat a agood evenings ride out in testing conditions to help hone riding skills.
  8. that we've lost our ability to laugh at ourselves and the woke environment that has taken over the world, there's plenty more but this stuff will kill the world
  9. Staying away from all those nasty rain showers and putting anti-condensation paint on the walls instead
  10. I don't like digital gauges, I'm old and old skool so use one of these https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/497461
  11. lovely bike, but you do know this is a mainly UK based forum?
  12. Workshop/shed hunting, finding one I like is proving difficult
  13. When I started driving all those years ago, petrol was around 38p a litre. If only my wages had increased as much at that stuff has.
  14. Jacket Question for the wise of the group I have an Alpinestars Ketchum Goretex jacket, which I washed at the end of last year due to bugs and dirt. I kept the temps low (30c) and used liquid cleaner instead of the usual washing powder and no conditioner/softerner. When I wore it out in the rain the goretext had gone, I got soaked. Not a happy bunny. Do I need to use Nikwax on goretex or has something gone wrong with the jacket? Thanks in advance
  15. Little trip down to Southend then back via a dealer who had a KTM demo day.
  16. A few of us went out for a little bimble down to the Custom Cafe Eastbourne. https://fb.watch/kQGH3UL-Sv/
  17. After two longs weeks working, I've got to put and handle and additional lock on a gate then clean the bike after going for a long ride.
  18. Working all weekend, urgent customer demand. Still at least I'll be using the bike to get to/from them.
  19. I'll do my best to be there for May 30th, I've got an operation scheduled for the 14th June, doubt I'll be mobile enough to make the June date.
  20. My weekend started on Thursday which was shooting the Essex Masters, good day out with decent weather and even better company. Friday and Saturday was car shopping as I need to replace the little Abarth with something that can sit on motorways better. Today is shooting again then giving the bike a wash before tomorrow's Mayday run to the coast.
  21. If I knew there was something on at Brands I would have popped down
  22. After two days of a customer doing my nut, I'll be off out for a ride after food!
