  1. I think your 'Traveller's Rest' is probably my nearest!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's one near Dunstable
  2. It's up to you, of course and what sort of riding you plan to do afterwards. Unless it's for short distance commuting, I would suggest DAS. The tests are fairly demanding and need good bike control, particularly MOD 1. The important thing is to find a good instructor who teaches you to ride and not just pass a test. They are out there. I think someone who has been trained properly and passed mod 1 and 2, riding a bigger bike is safer on the road than someone with a few hours of instruction on a 125
  3. I tend to click on 'Active' rather than the index so you don't see it then.
  4. Hey Admins/Stu, don't you think the rally should be on the Site News bar at the top of the page? Or pinned. It's a bit buried. There may be some new victims who want to be humiliated this year. BTW think we've decided on our fancy dress for this year.
  5. If you think he wouldn't be offended by the idea (after all, it is like riding a bike) some bike training schools do back to biking refresher training where you go out with an instructor. You could get a voucher for him to do this, or even book the lesson if brave enough.
  6. Great to meet up. Definitely go back to Hungry Hogs. Nice run and warm welcome
  7. Yay, Hitchhiker's Guide There's a frood who really knows where his towel is. Is it big enough to ward off the gaze of the ravenous bugblatter beast of Trall. Sorry, inner geek is escaping.
  8. Anyone going to this? http://www.mcnfestival.com We will be mostly camping and drinking beer
  9. Wheatsheaf Lion Anchor George and dragon Coach House - Bit far off!. In Potton opposite the George and dragon Queen's Head - also a bit far off Bell Crown
  10. I'll have ketchup on mine, seeing as you'll be passing HP every time
  11. Drop in at the Wiltshire Chilli Farm stall if you are at the Winchester Christmas Market - my daughter may be working on it but, even if not, they make awesome chilli stuff
  12. So how is this different from spending all day on the X box?
  13. Yeah, regular mirrors check, lifesaver, indicate, lifesaver, manoeuvre. It's a wonder I ever get anywhere Just mirror, signal, lifesaver, manouver in the car because the field of view in the mirrors is better
  14. Was totally packed out tonight Couldn't get out of the car park until fairly late.
  15. Tango and me are back home. Thanks to everyone for a great weekend! Looking forward to next year Just need to unpack and then off down the pub
  16. John deere, or landrover green Cant think of any other useful greens British Racing Green
  17. Wow that's really impressive - no way could I handle that sort of mileage! Sounds like its a trip that will never be forgotten
  18. Regarding fitting the shock. I think an Abba stand is worth the investment. I used mine to fit a Lust Racing link to lower the bike. It's a shame you are so far away or you could borrow mine
  19. Yeah, you can get kits but I opted for a DIY version that worked really well. I bought a second top yoke off eBay (in case I buggered mine up) and fitted Oberon angled risers to it. Had to drill the yoke for this but there's a pillar drill at work (and people who know how to use it properly) Then black renthal low bars fitted. I had to get some longer brake hoses and throttle, clutch cable (ebay off a Sprint or similar) I'll take a pic later. Makes the riding position much more comfortable and helps with slow speed handling. I think it suits the bike too. Makes it look more like it's big brother Speed Triple
  20. He finally admitted to dying it.
  21. As he declared his name to be 'Death to traitors, freedom for Britain' in court, I think there is a modicum of evidence that it was politically motivated.
