  1. Feck, that was a good race!! Wonder what happened with Smith on the last lap.... Turned round as the crossed the line and shoved it in the other riders face!!!!
  2. Good thinking Batman!!! Did this sort of thing years ago with my parents (Actually in VW Beetles don't ya know!!) and it was great. Had loads of fun!!
  3. Good one!!! You will be fine... I was in the exact same shoes as you and managed it ok.
  4. Anyone ever bought from them? Seem to have a weird setup that means giving a lot of personal data before buying something.... Paranoid probably, but just wondering if anyone else has dealt with them. Thanks
  5. Sounds good!! Count me in. If you want a hand organising, let me know. Happy to help, and I know the area.
  6. Looking less and less likely for me due to financial constraints. Will see though... Feck it, I am going to win the Euro Millions on Friday and will be turning up on a brand new Fireblade!!
  7. You do not need to filter on your test. It is perfectly acceptable to sit in traffic. If he questions you, then you say with your experience you did not feel it would be safe. If though, you can filter and it's safe to do so, it can be good brownie points on your test..... Of course if you stick yourself in a dangerous situation then it has the opposite affect. Play it safe and don't filter.
  8. Except I do mine every 3 months and use Autoglym cleaner then Autoglym protector. Keeps them looking good and in the event of an off will protect you better than not treating them.
  9. Would recommend avoiding the TCX Competizone... My feet get warm in them.
  10. Nice one mate!! You will pick it up mate.. Slow speed.. Control speed with clutch, and slow down with rear brake.
  11. Hoping to be there at some point tomorrow night.... Will drop you a text if I manage it Sheepy.... With this weather it's gonna be BUSY tomorrow!!
  12. Straps are very strong and good quality mate... Dunno about warranty, but knowing Knox I suspect they will be good if you have any issues...
  13. 5:30am... Fair do's mate, I will give you that one... and I had mine on yesterday!!
  14. What you doing using Heated grips this time of year nancy boy!!!!
  15. Don't take my word as gospal mate.. Will have to check with your insurance company.
  16. Don't think so mate... Would be surprised.. I think the general rule is "Where will the bike be stored for the majority of the time" They are means of transport and it has to be expected that they will be left places. Sorry to hear about it though mate. Hope everything goes well.
  17. Stopped off at Chesterfield CMC's today and saw this poster!! Might nip down and have a look... Anyone interested http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc324/bikerkorben/TMBF%20Pics/DSC01160.jpg I was thinking here then onto MFN...
  18. Sounds like you went for the right one. My helmet did that to me when I first bought it... It's now contoured to my head and it great... Tight lids are the safest!!
  19. If you are passing lot's of parked vehicles, then a check at the start will be fine. If you come to an open gap where their are no parked cars for say 70 - 80 metres then, if safe, maintain your position for the short period. This affirms your position, your intentions and stops you doing another shoulder check. If you have to pull in to allow an oncoming car to pass, then yes another shoulder check is required as you move out again. Pulling in behind a parked car could be seen as you parking up. Car behind goes to pass you just as you pull out into the road again... Bam, squish!!
  20. 1 piece leather suite..... Probably Alpinestars, Dianese, Or Arlen Ness (Of Course made to measure) 2 piece leather suiet..... Probably Alpinestars, Dianese, Or Arlen Ness (Of Course made to measure) Full Waterproofs... No idea what, but expensive stuff (Probably Rukka) 4 or 5 different Shoei helmets (It's all that fits me..), and probably 2 of them painted with personalised paint job. Waterproof boots as well, again no idea what, probably TCX Alpinestars 365 Goretex gloves Undersuit for leathers... Sweat wicking and compression. Probably a load of other things as well...
