It is excellent camera work, very steady! I have a new respect for "Mini Screens" as that one really moves under the wind! Bizarre hay, you never notice it normally.

No instructor should shout ant any one, good advice should be given calmly. I was lucky had a great bike instructor, who was calm and confident. If I was screamed like that I would stop the bike, get off give them the keys back and walk away.

Chip fat... I clean and lube mine when it looks like its going to need it, be that every 2 or 3 days in winter or month in summer. Rain does not damage a chain as much as salt does.

agreed I said this only the other day I had a data tool alarm when it worked it as at best a pain in the arse, when it went wrong it was a nightmare! Bin it!

I've been using it a lot recently, but mainly while going through puddles!

Hi cat, Glad you had a good day, I was talking to two of the guys at work who run the thing, said it was a good day except the rain. Its ounds like a really good relaxed day. I'm booking one for later on in the year.

Well i have had mine for a week or so now. Its very comfy, its not noisy and on a hot day the sun roof is really nice. Come with pinlock as standard. Its a good lid.

I've just had a lovely cheque of £1116 refund from the tax man, was planning to put it towards a new bike (nc700) but my bike has just sailed through the mot with no advisories and she is very reliable and im getting 50 mpg out of her so I'm going to keep her. I'm putting £300 in the holiday fund, give the kids each £100 take the family out for a slap up meal, a new lid for me as I hate my current one, new knee sliders as my ols ones are shagged and what's left will get lost in the savings account! It's nice to have some money thats not accounted for already in the family budget!

Thats for the advice and support chaps...

Yey alarm gone and all is working fine!

Cheers Stu, thats very much appreciated however its going no where! Ill be stripping it all down on Saturday, the instruction I found online are pretty straight forward so hopefully I get it all removed.

Well its either a System 3 or System 21 that much I have found out... found these instruction on line...Will have to give it a go... Its joining the list of things that are f**ked in my home along with the Toilet, the roof that leaks etc... im a tad pissed off. • If your alarm is still functional, put it in service mode (ignition on, press and hold small button for 2 seconds, ignition off). (Or do as I did and cripple the bike’s electrical system completely.) • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. • Take off the rear seat cowling • You should see the main siren unit cable tied to the subframe • Pull out the rear LED from the light unit • Pull out the blanked indicator wires that don’t appear to do anything • You should be able to follow the unit’s main wiring loom in to the bike’s wiring loom. It’ll probably be taped up to hell. • Remove as much tape as you need to expose the whole of the alarm’s wiring loom • You should see two obvious halves of wiring, and about 10 thin black wires in total • Most of these are just “drop-ins” – that is, they just join the existing wire so the alarm can trigger the e.g., indicators – the join should be covered in electrical tape, and the wire it is connecting to should be in tact • Two of the wires will be set differently (one in each half of the loom) – ignition and power – the original wire will have been cut and then soldered on to thin black wires, and the other half of the original wire will also be soldered, the join is probably covered in heat shrink • For each of the “drop-ins”, snip the black wire out of the join, and then wrap the join with electrical tape – be careful that you just snip the black wire – not the original wire! • For the other two wires, you’ll need to rejoin them – they should be coloured in such a way so as to be obvious which one needs to be soldered where • Locate the two ends of the original wire(s), and work out how you’ll rejoin them. I left the soldered join in place, and cut the black wire so that it would be long enough to rejoin to the original wire • When you’ve cut the wires out, you can remove the whole alarm unit • Then solder the original wires back together. Cover the join in heat shrink or electrical tape.

Anyone ever removed a Data Tool Alarm? Looks like either my Fob is fooked or my Alarm is fooked as the new batteried in the fob have made no difference, I simply cannot switch the bloody off! It just goes off and re sets its self. This alarm is a pain at the best of times, I think its easier to just remove the whole thing. BUT I have no idea what model it is, have no paperwork for it, no wiring diagram nothing. I'm wary if I rip it out the bike won't go. However the idea of smashing it up with a hammer on the garage floor is very appealing at the moment LOL All advice welcome, right I'm going to the fridge for another beer before I get the hammer out to it!

Ok, its totally W***ered if you ask me! Mine is a little distorted but that is really bad. Question... was it also part of the chain guard. If it is and you are riding with no chain guard, make sure you get one. Last thing you want is a boot, or gear dragged into the chain at high speed.

it will show as an A2 on your licence with the date test passed.

The price is about right, bike discs warp easier then car discs, it could be some one/thing has struck it. Get it changed, it you life on the line.

I'm averaging 50mpg, on a few long runs up to the coast I have managed 66mpg! if I rag it its goes down to about 46mpg. My mates have an RR and says he gets 35 and another mate with an Fi, seems to struggle around 35-40mpg at best, perhaps his is shagged, don't know.

If anyone is interested in these bikes, The FX and FY are carbed so MPG tends to be better than the Fi version. If anyone wants a years worth of figures for the bike ie MPG, servicing tyres etc, just PM me and I can mail it over as a Excel file for you to look at.

I have had my Konda for 4 months now and want to throw it off a cliff, its lousy anti for visor is a near as usless... mist up at the thought of cold and fog and scratches so easily. Its more than noisy it gives me a head ache on a long run and I have had to fit more padding to make it comfy! DO NOT Buy one! As for Caberg UK, when i have contacted them about the visor problems they don't want to know and have decided to ignore my emails...Usless.

Here we go, its the first Monday of the month... Look at their web site. http://www.woodlandwaters.co.uk/

What a belter of a day... 721 bikes, sun shine and My Lad and I met up with a few mates... superb day out.

If I remember I'll pop past this evening on my way into work.

Anyone going? I'm planning to with my son.
