I think the "Apple vs Android" debate simply boils down to what you are used to using. There are plus and minus for both.

Just think of it as gear is related to speed. If you are braking, and hence reducing speed rapidly, then dropping more than one gear is the way to go.

It's an optimate (or similar) battery connection lead

Bacon rolls and coffee do not belong in the same sentence !! Now, bacon rolls and a mug of hot tea

Unless you buy the type that fits under the headstock they are no good for taking the forks out.

No Stu, tried that but just too much arsing around each time you put on / take off the helmet. -

Just a pointer on the plugs with built in speakers. I bought a pair from Ultimate, built in speakers, bluetooth. Now the speaker bit works fine, BUT, the microphone, so you can take calls, speak to pillion/others, is useless because it ends up hanging around your throat region. I'm afraid for me they were an expensive mistake which now languish in a cupboard, prior to be binned, no doubt, in a few years time. -
"Designed with a focus on functionality over aesthetics" In other words they look shite. I'm only a short arse but certainly wouldn't be seen wearing those.

Well done Don't get too fixated on this "terrible" roundabout, it will only pysche you out. Once you've done it you will realise that it's just another part of daily riding.

From Nunthorpe Ave you definitely want to be going the A64/A659 route. Without school traffic you should do it in an hour.

Don't know where you are staying in York but if you intend trying to get onto the A59 at a time suitable to get to LBA for 09.00 then you need to be allowing at least 1.5 hours. That time of day is terrible on York ring road, school runs, workers etc. and the Upper Poppleton roundabout is a real pinch point.

Much as I hate to be the pessimist, they looked f****d to me. -
You'd get a few pizzas in that top box

How about take a photo using your phone. Make sure to get the date and time in, and even better if it's the kind of ticket that has your reg. on. That along with proof of purchase should suffice.

+1 for the optimiser. Both my bikes sit on Optimates all the time they are parked up.

Today is the day! CBT Incoming!

Seems to me that you have a great attitude. Everything will come together eventually, and you are savvy enough to know that. For the sake of taking a little bit more time you will become a far safer and more proficient rider, and you'll enjoy biking a lot more for it. -
+1 Exaactly my findings.
