The most unfortunate name in the English language ...
iiisecondcreep replied to XmisterIS's topic in General Chat
Cockburn is a scottish name, she was right about how its pronounced There are LOADS of streets called Cockburn round here. Although we also have a local st called Dickburn St, there is no getting away from that one! I had an email from a Ms Butt today Her email address was jetbutt@... lol At this place I used to work we had a customer called mr Jelly once. I couldn't call him for laughing My mum does a lot of local history once and was in stitches when she found the gravestone of a mrs Goodwilly. -

new rules january 2013?
iiisecondcreep replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
He probably means the new ninja 250 ie zx250r (I saw new, they are current but been around a few yrs). Although maybe not! Kawasaki have also just released the ninja 300 which looks very nice I think I am just behind the times! But even so, they are not a prolific market over here. Probably because of the price tag! Honda have the cbr250 as well which I think is a few less ££ than the ninja. -

Gloves that keep hands dry
iiisecondcreep replied to a topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I have Heine Gericke Pathan Evo and haven't had wet hands yet http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... 75&t=43896 As above, I always wear my gloves under my jacket cuffs. -
Boots BioEars Soft Silicone Earplugs
iiisecondcreep replied to iiisecondcreep's topic in Other Reviews
Well I meant the hair from my head sticking to them but I suppose if you have excessively hairy ears that might also be problematic, not having hairy ears its not something I'd have thought about.... -

what gloves to buy
iiisecondcreep replied to stranger12's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I have Heine Gericke 3 finger gloves and they do a good job at keeping my hands warm. I did a review of them in the tried and tested section http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... 75&t=43896 -
Maybe if you take mrs Nogin to the local rescue and let her see all those sad eyes she would have a change of heart :)

He/she will miss siblings and mum at first and will probably cry when left alone. Obviously get pup registered with your local vet, puppy training/socialisation classes asap, would also recommend you consider neutering, stock up on toys, thats all I can think of atm When are you getting the pup? When will you tell us what you are getting, or do we have to wait until it arrives?!

Thanks guys

I think he means as opposed to having regular lessons. Personally, I went down the lessons route. Suited me better at the time, also I had no previous experience and after how stressful I found the CBT there is no way I could have done an intensive course! But thats just me lots of people go down the intensive course as well I'd say the main advantage is you will generally get your license quicker, I was learning from feb-nov. Due to: not booking my theory early enough, having a 4month or so break due to work commitments, failing my mod 1 3 times ( ). If you mean as opposed to buying a 125 to ride around on, well then once you pass you can ride a (restricted) big bike so more options for bikes and as long as you pass before jan or whenever it is you won't be subject to the new rules and your restriction will be lifted automatically after 2yrs. if you wait until after the rules change then you'd have to sit another test when you are 24 to ride any size of bike (I think) -
Yay, thanks! :D

Managed to get a few more on holiday, though not nearly as many as we could. Unfortunately journeys didn't go very well so wasn't much spare time for getting tags. We almost managed to get the Kirkstone Pass Inn on the way down, bikes parked outside and camera in hand... but we didn't have our numbers or a pen/paper to make new ones http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/iiisecondcreep/Bikey/UK%20100%20challenge/DSC00720.jpg
