If I ever get my bike out that garage I'm planninmg to be there

I'm on a GT125R too. Had it a year and its never missed a beat. I love the styling and find it comfortable even after a few hours in the saddle. Biggest issue has been one corroded connector which I can't really complain too much about as the bike gets used 7 days a week in all weathers.

His insurance will go up if it is deemed to be his fault. Legally you are meant to tell the insurance about any incident, but we all know about that one. If both parties can come to an agreement outside that then it can be better all round

Trace the positive feed from the battery up to the ignition - most likely a corroded connector (speaking from personal experience )

If you've got decent textiles that are comfy them why change?

Hairdryer normally does the trick, heat a small section then peel it off the wheel and move onto the next bit. Once its started it should come off pretty easy

have a hunt on you tube. theres stacks of vids on both parts of the test. I'm hoping to sit mine in the next month or so, having a couple of lessons with the local training place then use their bike for the tests

Just passed my theory test Wasnt expecting any real problems, but always get nervous before anything like that and had convinced myself I had fluffed it halfway through. Time to start getting ready for the real tests

Is that the guys at chameleon? They're just round the corner from me, used them a few times

I've got a stiff one Two bolts through the bottom of the number plate and then the top of the L plate. I did rip one after catching the corner over a low fence (walked the bike back to turn round n didnt realise I'd went back so far), but the replacement's been fine

I've found the same, they are shower proof but not waterproof. Great gloves in the dry, very warm and not too bulky but have been disappointed by their performance in the rain

Glad I read the whole post

any half decent socket set will take care of most jobs. After that, pliers, snips and a large hammer (in case of emergencies)

72 in a 50. 3 points and 60 quid. Many moons ago now though and (touch wood), stayed clean since.

I got some Underarmour Coldgear as a base layer - worked a treat so far. Thin enough to go under my work clothes too
