Oh OK, thanks. Next time I'll just stay behind them until there's a straight clear bit of road

If you do this stay quite far back especially if you have a noisey bike, horses are naturally nervous and if you are too close behind it may cause them to get worried or spook. Generally the rider will signal and let you know what they want you to do depending on how the horse will react (at least they should, however I have noticed recently the manners of horse riders has been going downhill, much like most other road users!).

I went from John O'Groats to Ullapool via Durness. The road from Durness to Ullapool is IMHO the worlds greatest road with the worlds best views.

Well done on getting all the Scotland tags!

I have a 98 srad and it has a choke, according to the haynes manuals all the srads have carbs :/

really f*cking loud and high pitched noise in here for the last 30mins, head is absolutely pounding as a result

I dono about buying the glass alone, but you can get a replacement head light on ebay for £28 if it comes to it

Congrats! Hope the rain stays off for you tonight

Do you park a car in the space as well? If not I;d probably recommend parking the bike longways in the space. 2 winters ago when there was all that snow we just had one bike parked in our space it was parked like that, came home to find someone else had parked their car in our space- despite my bike being in it!!!!- the car was there for 2 days.

Congrats

Congrats!!

Hope your pooch is ok Jo.

My charming downstairs neighbours, while they are not banging and clattering about for 14hrs a day and having screaming abusive arguments waking everyone up, are using the communal area outside their flat as a giant ashtray.

Congrats!!

Good luck tomorrow. I think that trick about 3rd is what Gayle was told to do as well.

It was

Good luck!

We didn't make it. There was an accident outside Cameron House @ Loch Lomond, guy came off his bike and was lying in the middle of the road. 2 other people from our group (we were at the tail end, the front lot were probably miles ahead) stopped also, people were saying needed to get him water so Ed and I went into Cameron House to get a bottle of water. By the time we got back the ambulance had arrived and the other people from our group had left (we were only away for 5 minute). So we went to McDs got a cola and came home. Hope everyone had a good time.

We're heading along with our local MCC. Think the plan is to get there about 1pm and stay for about 1hr.

We're going (according to the mcc fb page): up to Crainlarich then down Loch Lomond turn right at Tarbert then down to Faslane then down to Balloch over the Erskine bridge.

I call this one 'All the gear, ALL THE TIME!'

Took the bikes out for a spin today seeing as we both had the day off, went up to Callander then Aberfoyle via the Dukes Pass. Hoped the roads would be quiet seeing as its a weekday but sadly not. Roads were very busy with the usual sorts that think that that white circle with the big black line means 40mph max (some even seemed to think it means 20mph). Ride back over the Dukes Pass we didn't get stuck behind anyone but that was the only time we didn't. Very frustrating ride.

Final figure for this year is £5,563.05

Had the bike at work today so decided to take the slightly longer route home from Edinburgh, so came off at the newbridge roundabout and back via kirklistin, linlithgow etc...

So probably half of those roads are 30/40mph, of the ones that are nationals most of them have road works and are down to 30/40. Got stuck in start/stop traffic in one little town with no opportunity to squeeze through for 20mins. Finally got onto a road that WAS a national and as I was approaching noticed it was a bit wet. Then realised not just a bit wet, absolutely soaked as was everything else around from some serious downpour!! lots of surface water, huge puddles in every dip and rivers running down both sides. WTF?! 20+ and glorious sunshine everywhere- except the one road I decide to take home! >:[

I tihnk mine comes down to about the same, it doesn't completely cover my view and I can see below it quite easily. Don't think I'd be comfortable with it coming too close to touching my face due to concern over it puttin a dent in my face if I had an off!

Loving my new ER6F(KAW) however totalling taken aback by the amount of buffetting you take when riding on the motorway.

An tips on reducing this buffeting - Could it be helmet related as it feels as though on occassion my helmet is going to be pulled off my head!! My helmet too big ? (Ahem...apologies for this poorly worded chosen question)

Note, I am not doing any crazy speeds, proabaly about 80 tops.

Any advice welcome.

Cheers

Double bubble screen? :

re your address: I was in the same situation and no, they can't change your address at the same time.

My previous address was my mums though so wasn't really an issue.

I found mod 2 a breeze compared tp mod 1

Good luck!

I have never ridden a cruiser so can't offer any specific advice but as a starting point make sure you are looking where you want to go and the bike will follow. Chances are if the bike isn't going where you want to go you will start looking where the bike is actually going, especially if you think it is going to hit something (known as target fixation). It can difficult to concentrate on looking where the bike is going particularly if you are stressed or worried.

So apple think that I should have to provide them with my credit card details to download a free app.

F*ck it, I'll go without.

First time my bike wouldn't start it was a fuse. Hope you get it working soon

Busy on Sat (in Lanark in the afternoon, as it happens), maybe go on sunday depending on the weather.
