    Product Report !!
    It’s rubbish !!
    It couldn’t cut through a marshmallow, I ended up using a pair of scissors to cut the pizza !!

    However ... it looks great on the kitchen window sill ....... Where it now resides ...

    Unfortunately its pretty much impossible for us to give an answer! 

     

    It could have just being you, something on the road, crap tyres, too much throttle, too much lean angle the list could go on 

     

    Although if I was you I would just calm down a little as I don't think the weather is right just yet and still a lot of crap on the roads 

     

    Lots of us ... lots ..ride all year round .... the weather is never right ..

    Too ... wet, icy, hot, cold, slippy, dry .. et al.

    What happened when your bike wobbled to-day was that  .. you learnt.

    Next time you power wobble out of a roundabout, you won’t even notice ... you’ll instinctively deal with it.

     

    Flying and Motorbikes have a lot in common ... Every landing you walk away from is a good landing, every ride you get home from was a good ride ..

     

    Places for cleaning motorcycle?

    I like the way you loop the chain round the seat and wheel.

     

    The important thing is til keep the chain off the deck. If your chain is on the deck all it takes is a sledge and a wedge .... harder like this .. usually needs an angle grinder ... and their noisy.. the U lock on the front wheel is just for nuisance value ...

    What you doing this weekend?

    You were probably on the local Facebook page last weekend. Pics of bikers on the front.

    Make sure Hornsea is alright before we are allowed to return. 

    Be careful locals will be out with the pitch forks again.

    Not yet in the know, but all back roads. This gives a rough idea from a previous Garbage Run, I can guess at most of them but not all. Pretty sure the hours and miles shown is not correct.

    Do you warm up your engine

    The keyword is unnecessarily.  warming up my bike at least is definitely necessary. its an instruction in the owners manual.

     

    and so, I always do.. though my own circumstances and bike usage means this almost never happens on a public road. it happens on my own patio.

     

    Likewise .... patio at the front of the house or the path .... but always a warmup....

    Thought so ... Cars only .....

     

    The Highway Code clearly states: "You must not leave a vehicle's engine runningunnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road." Drivers can face a fine of upwards of £20 for leaving the engine on while in a stationary car; this can go up to £80 in some areas of London.

     

    You have to be approached by a Civil Enforcement Officer or Police Officer who can ask you to turn your car off and if you refuse only then can a penalty be issued
