Good luck stuck in traffic!! I wouldn't fancy taking a car along to one of these.

Great looking cars.. Modern cars are just mass produced boxes on wheels to ferry about the mindless worker bees. These old cars have soul. I used to be really into cars, but not anymore. Back in the good old days cars we're built for fun, not to meet euro regulations.

Took mine out for a spin to test the new steering damper:

Ask Phil about punctures.. I have a great video showing his repaired tyre suddenly losing its bung, the air rushing out and Phil braking from triple digit speeds with a flat back tyre.. His were like pepperoni sticks though, not mushrooms.

Racers have hotter coils and only need the plugs to last for one race.

Take a look at Richa textiles. Ive got some and I'm very impressed. Zip out layers mean you can use them in freezing cold with the thermal layer, or zip it out when it gets hot and open the air vents. EDIT: this is the jacket i have. i bought it for 99quid from the Excel bike show. http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcy ... rod/199919 -
When do we get my burger?? I'll go tail gunner if you like. I dont mind mopping up the stragglers.

So long as I get to ride my bike and eat a massive burger, I'll be happy.

your 50cc moped was two-stroke and not legal. pass your test and trade it in for a faster bike.

another good reason to leave the European union!

If it was me, I'd pay the extra few quid for the BT023. But shop around, you might find it cheaper. You could even buy it online and take it to a tyre fitter to be fitted. Thats what I did with my BT023's. I tied them to my back (I looked like a ninja turtle) and rode them to the tyre fitting place.

Will cost you more to modify the bike than it would to get your full licence. It might give you an extra 10mph if you're lucky but the bike is crap so it won't last for long. The main problem is you are not licenced to ride a 150cc bike. If you get stopped by the police you will get arrested, sent to court, have you licence taken away and get a huge fine. Its not worth it. Pass your test an buy a bigger bike and pass your 125 onto another learner (if its still running)

Looks like your bike is into weird body piercings!! Always amazes me how screws and nails get stuck in tyres. Are they sat on the road poking upwards waiting for us to ride over them?? -
Jack Daniels is the cure! Get a bottle and drink it neat. Thats how I dealt with it last time I had it.

Take two credit cards, notify both companies that you're travelling and keep them in separate locations. If you lose one or one stops working you have a backup! European health insurance card is a good idea too. European breakdown covers a good idea too.

+1 Backpack will cripple you.

Spikes are better for sparks. The spark will jump at a lower voltage with a spike rather than a blunt electrode - thats why lighting conductors are always pointy, so that the spark jumps from the conductor and not the surrounding (blunt) building. Dont know if that will actually make a noticable difference on a road bike though.

Turn up, get drunk, talk rubbish, sleep in a tent... Repeat.

although, once they get to heaven, maybe they all go wild!! i mean, what else do they have to look forward to?
-
given the state of most of the bible bashers, who would want to go to heaven anyway?? I mean, an eternity stuck with people being good and preaching the bible sounds like hell to me... going to actual hell with all the people who had a good time whilst they were alive, and have some great stories to share sounds like heaven Bring on the afterlife!!

Exactly. Any dealer worth their salt would have requested the bike back for a safety inspection...blaming the factory is just a cop out. Very disappointing service tbh.
