I don't have a preference either way. My helmet is a burnt orange caberg trip. I wanted a flip front, the caberg trip was very comfortable and scored well on the sharp tests. At the scottish bike show, I could pay £120 for a black or silver one, or £60 for a burnt orange one and I really like the orange colour, better than plain black or silver! The other one I looked at was the caberg V2R floral (because I liked the graphics), but they didn't have it in my size. Wasn't a flip front either. I saw a cool one at the bike show this year, might also have been a caberg, it was matt white with COWBOYS on it! AND the orange one goes well with my stick on tiger ears and tail http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/iiisecondcreep/Bikey/DSC00126Small.jpg

Hope you feel better soon, bex x My f*ck it for today: For weeks now I have sit around doing little other than trying to do uni work. Just sitting, bored, looking out at the lovely weather. Today, as it was again nice I thought I'd walk to my mums to give her her mothers day card. Its only a ten minute walk. By the time we got there we were being pelted by HAILSTONES!!!!! Once back home, glorious sunshine again (if a bit on the windy side). F*CK IT! (although on the plus side, we did get a lift back in my mums bfs brand new lexus CT200h which was quite nice! )

yes, actually (the qs part, not the roofing part!)

What's it on ? And what are you hoping to do ? F**k it, my dinner isn't ready yet. The social and economic benefits of sustainable procurement in public sector construction projects.. What am I hoping to do? Get the next 5k words done rapidly! Hope dinner was worth the wait!

We might be going to the Erskine one ...if we have bikes that actually work

F*ck it!! I am sooooooo bored with this dissertation. 2 weeks to go, and I am half way there (5k words). I am rapidly losing what little interest I have left!! BLEURGH.

Mine needs a new multi relay and there is a problem with the gears, hopefully chain tightening will solve this, but need the new relay first so it will actually start!, bfs has a leaky radiator, hopefully it can be welded, once we work out how to remove it :

Another one! Carronvalley Motorcycle Club charity easter run in aid of CHAS. 24th April 10.30am, starting at the Falkirk Wheel. Around 400 bikes turned up last year, and more expected this year! We're away to Oban that weekend, but going to try and get home early on the sunday to at least see it (if the bikes are still off the road- should be an impressive sight!)

Would tend to agree, if you learn the routes you might end up concentrating too hard on areas you expect to be tricky and miss out on key observations or unexpected hazards.

Woooo!!! Nice one! :D

Dont get me onto planners and planning departments. Feckin lot of em would be up against a wall come the revolution. Sorry MK, you`ll be the exception, you ride a bike Also just found out that EVERY councillor on the committee rejected or requested for the hearing to be postponed. NLC ignored them as well.

check outside for the postie hiding behind a tree or summit, just waiting for you to go out lol

North lanarkshire council are a f*cking joke. They spend almost a million pounds on some vile ridiculous neon green 'waves' by the side of the road, £250,000 on a massive hideous 'mermaid' sculpture and have now granted planning permission for a 18th century grade A listed building that is probably the towns ONLY remaining historic building to be turned into flats! Despite an objecting petition with almost 2000 signatures and countless planning objections!

63 is still a really good score for the hazard perception! Well done

For clothes, Victor Devine, Heine Gericke, J&S in Hamilton are the main ones that spring to mind. For a bike I'd scour ebay, autotrader, gumtree, mcn classifieds.

Same as with most clothes, sizes don't mean much

As above, they are nothing to worry about. The theory disc I had had them on. Things like minimum tyre depth, how to check fluid levels, how to check/use lights/horn, what to adjust when carrying a pillion etc. Although! I did get asked a question that wasn't on the disc, it was 'if you are carrying a pillion, which way should they face?' I honestly thought he was joking or it was a trick question.

Thats not good, can imagine it would give you a cracking headache. Like Bex said, if you've not had it long it should wear in after a while :

Test rode the new CBR600F, what a disappointment Its gorgeous, but totally 'meh' to ride. In my boyfriends words 'completely soulless'. Also rode the new VFR800, now that is a beast I could get used to!! Big torquey zoomey fun machine, came off it grinning from ear to ear!! The sales guy said the older ones are exactly the same bike to ride, so definitely going to look into the possibility of getting one in the future.

Two Wheels I think have a ride out down to the borders on sunday! Biketastic this weekend! Lucky you, my bike has now been off the road for a month :'( Hmmm dono. Could probably manage all 3 really but depends on how much dissertation writing I manage to get done tomorrow Ed fancies combining it with a trip to the Edinburgh farmers market. You thinking of going to one?

Just thought I'd post in case anyone is interested This weekend is the CBR launch weekend, Honda Phoenix in Falkirk have a stunt rider in Two Wheels Edinburgh have special offers and prize draws Also, Saltire Suzuki grand opening at their new place in Edinburgh, 200 free burgers up for grabs and special discounts across the store

Well done!

I probably had around 20hrs training before my mod 1. Reason being, like an eedjit, I never bothered even booking my theory til I was already ready to do the mod 1. Wait for theory was around a month or so and then a few weeks after that for mod 1.

F*CK IT!! I slept in a missed a fairly important uni class because I was awake half the night with burning skin from shopping CHILLIS!!

It is so frustrating when you know you can do it but nerves get the better of you On my 4 attempt, in my head I just kept saying to myself- why are you so worried? You've done this a hundred times, you are more than capable! I planned everything and talked myself through each manoeuvre as I was doing it. I failed each time for locking the back brake, so as I was coming in for my high speed manoeuvres, I thought to myself - get that foot away from the back break! It worked and I passed, I think because I was keeping my brain busy it gave me less chance to be thinking 'OMG TEST EEEEEK PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC'.
