  1. As in title. just learn both my bikes have been taken from the parking area of my old address. I lost my flat after losing my job after a disciplinary hearing, so moved into temp accommodation, and the ex landlord ended up having to store my property. some how all my keys went missing, both to my garage and the bikes. For weeks i have been trying to get answers to where the keys were without success. I have been pestering the housing manager of the ex flat to find out how they managed to move two heavy bikes chained together from one part of the car park to another. today I get a message both bikes were taken by a black van weeks ago from the car park, and they just thought it was me shifting them
  2. Yep, snake pass. I must be getting old
  3. Probably got my roads mixed up. Which place was partially closed to traffic for a long period due to landslides, yet cyclists thought it didn't apply to them?
  4. The ponderosa cafe on horseshoe pass is shutting the doors for good wonder if all the road closures over the past couple of years has led to this
  5. My 1980 125 t2, 17 bhp 12.4kw at 11500rpm
  6. @Granty, that's the reason I went for an older 125 for my CBT and MOD1/2. The 1980s Hondas were twin cylinder, but had maybe 18bhp, that meant i could do motorway speeds without much effort, and I proved that they were legally able to be used for the tests as they did not break the 16kw ratio rules. As to a another topic on this forum, it was ideal for the speed/ swerve test
  7. Get another one and you can have a pair of slippers in front of the telly
  8. Vroom vroom noises are optional
  9. These bloody infernal e-scooters are killing bikes for today's youth. I hate the dam things with a passion, worse than mamils
  10. They are powerful enough to cut into tarmac on the narrowest setting, but absolutely great for cleaning your bike
  11. There's a scary face in that route
  12. The distance from your starting point to the speed trap is quite short, and having two bends in it doesn't help. If it was a straight line then it would be fairly easy. If you have a short gear ratio then you may hit 3rd gear, but Honda 125s are fairly well spaced so your not up and down the box in heavy traffic, so as you leave the 2nd bend hit 2nd and open the throttle. You don't have the power to try a higher gear, it will just bog down so your basically going to have to give it some welly. Most school bikes end up knackered from hitting the rev limiter to reach acceptable speed
  13. Road pilots
  14. I used to have a product called Bob heaths' anti fog, it worked on visors as well as glasses
  15. PS, remember to look where you need to go, and you should automatically follow that direction and don't hit the cones
  16. Stick it in second as you enter the first part of the bend. By the time you have gone through both bends you should be at 50kph/32mph by the time you hit the speed trap
  17. This bloody temu site/adverts is doing my head in
  18. Would they keep an ionos, just to make sure we get it right
  19. Just watched WSB on ITV4. I've seen better
  20. The problem is their end, by the sound of it. I struggled to insure one of my bikes (1980 125), because their system couldn't figure out the reg number. Try getting a quote from a different company and see if that helps
  21. Maybe he was talking abut a new vape flavour
  22. There's an answer to that, Don't visit afar
  23. I was actually quite lucky, I'd just reached a part of the dual carriageway where there is a area of 3 or 4 houses and a barrier between them and the A6, a van driver had seen me pushing it so stopped and offered to take me to get fuel and bring me back to the bike- there are still some decent folk out there. The strangest thing is I could not figure out how my fuel got nicked in the first place. Not only was the cap locked it's fuel injection, so needs the pump running, but I definitely had a nearly full tank as I filled up every 4 days due to work commute and this was a weekend and a regular top up day ready for a bimble
