  1. I got a Galaxy S8 last year....it's on a contract and was the cheapest one I could find with the amount of data I wanted.......I think I'm paying £22 a month for 3GB data, 1000 mins calls and unlimited texts on a 2 year contract......so far I've been very pleased with it.......
  2. Bad luck mate......hope that you're starting to heal ok now......I bet you've got a nice collection of very colourful bruises too......... But the main thing is that you're still here......and got some bike shopping to look forward to.......get well soon.....
  3. Some hide the battery in the seat hump on cafe racers.....
  4. I think that this thread is all washed up!...........I'll get me coat...... I use Autoglym shampoo......It seems to boost the polish, as water beads on the paintwork again after a wash.......
  5. I normally clear the whole car off, but one day last week we'd had a bit of snow which had then frozen overnight....I cleared the windows with the heater blowing and a lot of scraping, but there was no way that I was going to be able to clear the bonnet and roof without chiselling it off.....so I had to head off as it was......when I got to near where I was heading the temperature had risen enough to start melting it, so little bits started to come off, but I was so close it just pressed on......
  6. Have a look around for a secondhand rear caliper.......could well be the cheapest option.....
  7. Welcome to TMBF mate. .........sounds like it's the wrong chain for your bike......I'd get onto whoever it was that you got it from and get a replacement. ....
  8. Ask [mention]Throttled[/mention] .......
  9. Was a great do.......was fantastic seeing both Cat and Owen really enjoying the day and evening......awesome seeing such a good representation from the forum too.....
  10. Not a problem for me.......I've got right angled valves on my wheels........
  11. I'm not sure TBH.....The pub has had several changes of manager over recent times, so I'm not sure if they're still running.......but, the White Swan in Conington near St Ives still runs their bike nights on Tuesdays.......so we'll hopefully get along to a few of them this year......
  12. the shop cant get the bridgestone, they've recommended the pilots, I'm just not sure which ones to go for, the power 1, power 2ct or road 5. Depends on your riding! I notice you say you are new to this so going by that I would go for the road 5's Yes....I'd also say to go for the PR5's....... particularly if you're gonna use the bike year round......
  13. I'd definitely go for Pilot Road 4's or 5's.......I've had good mileage out of my PR3's....and the 4's and 5's are supposed to be even better......good wet and dry grip too.....and don't tend to tramline like some of the other brands......
  14. God knows!.......memory isn't that good......but whatever it is, it was worth every penny......
  15. Happy birthday to you both........
  16. Speed Triple.......nuff said.....
  17. Congrats on the pass, mate.....and good luck for the MOD2. ......
  18. You may get more response by having some pics of the bike on here.......
  19. Our local MOT place do bikes as you turn up on Saturdays........The testers are bikers, so we normally hang around while they're doing the bikes and have a chat and a cuppa.....they're pretty fair with the test....... I would say that the indicator problem may be the flasher relay.....A bit slow getting going....... Not a fan of the Battleaxes. .....prefer Pilot Roads.....
  20. Many years back an old colleague flew to Belfast and hired a car at the airport.......A few miles down the road he was flagged to stop at a checkpoint.....He was suddenly surrounded by soldiers all pointing their guns at him, shouting to keep his hands on the top of the steering wheel......after a few nervous minutes an officer appeared and got the soldiers to stand down......He apologised about all the guns and that and explained that the car had been stolen a few weeks earlier, but no one had updated the system to show that it had been recovered and returned to the hire company....so it was still showing as stolen, which was why they were very nervous about it.........that was the last time he went to NI.....
  21. You will feel more resistance when trying to push the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in than if the bike is in neutral..........The clutch just disconnects the bikes gearbox from the engine when it's pulled in. So, when pushing the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in, you are still turning some of the cogs in the gearbox, which will offer more resistance than having the gearbox in neutral. If your clutch is badly adjusted it will either slip....which will show up as the engine rev's rising as you open the throttle in higher gears, but the bike's speed not increasing as expected........or the clutch will drag (not disengaging fully).....you tend to notice this as the bike trying to creep forwards when you're in gear but you've got the clutch lever pulled fully in.....or having difficulty getting the bike into neutral when you're stationary. Both these scenarios can be due to a badly adjusted clutch lever, or a problem with the actual clutch itself.....
  22. Are you feeling OK Lol.....just trying to be neutral.......but it's a real struggle!....
  23. Welcome to TMBF mate. ......... You need to test ride all of them to decide for sure.......
  24. Clymer are an American publisher of workshop manuals.......so, sometimes, there are slight differences to the bikes for the American market......and some bikes that are aimed specifically at the European market do not have a direct American equivalent. ....so, no Clymer manual is available for them......
