Hey! I am on 12 hour notice and nights at the moment! Which means I can still come and should get Friday off! I'll ride with you guys if that's cool. Looks like I might have to leave Saturday to work but will see how it goes! Think you guys will be too far north for me to join up with... this is my intended route: http://goo.gl/gQ5cdV

Sounds like the guy needs a good kick up the arse. Shame you're so far away - I'd gladly offer my trailer and go with you to go rescue your bike from this idiot. Oh and I wouldn't pay him a penny. Tell him you didn't get the service you agrees to so there's nothing to pay for. If he wants payment he can take you to small claims court.. Which will never happen as he's too illiterate to fill out the forms.

So assuming the weather is OK, is anyone else biking up from London area?
-
Turn up unannounced and have him show you the snapped chain and what Hes done on the bike so far.
-
Do you have a steering damper? If you do it wasn't working!! My S1000RR gives me pretty violent tank slappers, but only at stupidly high speeds. Its a good reminder for me to slow down lol.

If the weather is crap, I'm driving my old dog wagon. It stinks of dogs but plenty big enough in the back to sleep!

If you're buying a USB charger, try to find one that charges at 2.1amps.. Many of the cheaper ones only charge at 1amp so take longer to charge your phone..

fit a 12v socket to your bike....simples Form an orderly queue to plug cat's sockets.....
-
Price not an issue if im hungry - just so long as they are serving food when its needed! Besides, i've already spent a couple of hundred on a tent, tankbag, sleeping bag etc etc, and budgeting for a mahooosive bar bill, so a few extra quid on food wont matter
-
So whats the deal with food at this place?? its looks remote so I guess we're at the mercy of the pub to serve us grub... Hoping they have a fry-up Sunday morning??

Using own bike for DAS
Joeman replied to bluenose's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
An offence to operate a vehicle in a public place without licence and at least third party insurance. The supermarket carpark is classed as a public place so she would be breaking the law. Edit: You'd best read this: https://www.gov.uk/using-the-road-159-t ... nd-the-law -
I'll decide on the day. Judging by the weather we had today, my KTM would be the better choice! Lol

Today I bought a tent, sleeping bag and a few other bits. Got home, went on eBay and bought a waterproof oversuit... Guess that means I'm coming
-
That's cool... How fast do they go? Bet its pretty close racing..

Waterproofing spray for leather
Joeman replied to Jack5r's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
My leather jacket is perforated and has cloth stretch panels so no amount of spray will make it waterproof! -
Love seeing the old classics being brought back to life. Seeing them all parked up like that brings back happy memories of my teenage biking years.

Carrying luggage.
Joeman replied to Abraxix92's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I've ordered a givi tank bag (XS306) for the rally. Planning to bungee the tent to the back and have the sleeping bag in a rucksack. Just hope the weather holds. Currently we have severe weather warnings across Kent, but so far nothing more than a light breeze.. -
Using own bike for DAS
Joeman replied to bluenose's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Also, presume it will be her bike in her name with her as the primary rider, so insuring it with you as the main rider and her as just a named rider is insurance fraud... -
I do the same when theres space. But often the same idiots doing 40mph are also in the right hand lane of the slip road...
-
All the idiots who think its a good idea to join a busy motorway at 40mph. I had the pleasure of following a couple of them today in the car onto the M25/M23. Thankfully once on the motorway I was able to floor it and blast round them, but seriously, why do these people think it a OK to merge with a motorway whilst only doing 40mph??
