Set the revs, control your speed with the clutch and rear brake... Sounds so simple dunnit!!! I find using the rear brake really straightens the bike up and makes it easy to control.... Most of the time I do U-Turns I have the rear brake constantly on. Only lightly, but it is on.... Everyone has their own way though. Everyone says look where you want to finish, not at the curb and don't look down..... I do look down though. I stare about 2-3 metres at the road in front of me.... You will figure it out eventually...

Either is good for me mate.... Suppose I would prefer Sunday, but meh...

Battery..

Do you post up instructions and stuff... Would like to do this, but go bugger all idea what I am doing...

Stop whinging about having to buy a new one anyway.... You have an excuse to buy a new helmet every few years.... My helmet life is 3 - 5 years... Feck waiting five years. I am getting a new one after three years!!!

Basically, Birmingham http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=C ... 8&t=h&z=14

That's about half the price I expected!!! Will see if I can bring someone..

Count me in... Always wanted to see it!! Do you think the Umpa Lumpa's will be there?

So do hairy planes. And look what happens to one of them when it crashes!!

Helmets take a lot of abuse.... Sun, Rain, Heat, Cold. Eventually (Just like most things) it starts to deteriorate. Eventually it's not going to be fit for use. I also believe that most helmets take a knock or two without us realising it....

Been looking at treating myself to that one as well Horness. Nice looking bag.... I am a Knox fan as well!!

Everyone's a comedian!!!

Hi lyberoc Looks like an interesting show. Drop into Newbies and introduce yourself mate.

Bit far for me at this time of year.... It's one of my aims to get to the ace cafe this year though!!

Good write up mate.... Must admit I have considered going to that shop.... You get the impression it's mahoosive from the adverts. Don't bother with the Nottingham HG though.... Tiny in my eyes...

Well that's not good !!!!! Suspect he will be back on in half an hour... Then again, he is a nutter.

Don't want to put you off mate, but heard that sleet and snow might be falling mid morning. be careful if you go out mate!!

Loads of places mate... I only know one, and it ain't cheap http://www.givi.co.uk/ They are known to be one of the best though mate. EDIT: Other companies sell Givi stuff cheaper!!

Happy to help as well.... Being close to MFN I am sure I should be able to help...

Do a Google search for "Solido Honda Hornet". They make them, as do Maisto. Not sure of the scale or detail etc., but I've seen them around. Horness F-ing brilliant mate!!!! Just need to find one that's white..... Might have to buy the yellow one and paint it white though...

Use the shelf for models of all the bikes you (will) own!! I can't find a model Hornet anywhere!!!

So is that your idea of a trophy cabinet then korbs Yep!!

Still on my first one, but my intention is to save all the helmets I ever own... Already have a shelving unit the perfect size for them all!!

A good price for a CE approved back protector.... BUT!!! Comfort would seriously worry me with something so cheap.... Being uncomfy could cause an accident. £15..... Call me sceptical, but CE approved or not I would never wear one instead of my £80 Knox Contour.... You can get CE Level 2 approved now which are even safer. Each to their own at the end of the day though..... Oh, moving this topic to Clothing and Accessories section!!

It takes 0.4 seconds to wear through thick jeans..... Not good really.
