    Vertigo

    there are head movements you can practice which re-align stuff in your inner-ear which can reduce the symptoms, i remember reading about it a long time ago so dont have any links but its supposed to cure dizzyness/vertigo
  2. Looks like you saved loads of weight off the rest of the bike too
  3. Still don't agree What are you hoping to hear without earphones that will prevent you having an accident?? With a good helmet and earplugs you won't hear a car behind and, you won't hear a car pull out in front. How exactly will not having earphones make you safer?
  4. I'd disagree they are dangerous. Car drivers can't hear anything outside of the car. A good helmet and earplugs will cut out most noise. Music could actually increase safety by keeping you alert. My exhaust is too loud to hear anything I can't already see.
  5. You won't hear the ones that knock you off.. you should see them though
  6. do it. fit a -1 front sprocket, a +2 or +3 rear and a speedo healer whilst you're at it and the bike will be transformed
  7. whats wrong with 105 degrees? what temp would you like the fan to kick in and why? 105 might sound hot to you, but engines are perfectly happy at that temperature and running them too cool isnt a good idea.
  8. I've done the whole Kenya Safari thing. Fantastic experience. Kenya, Capetown, Zambia, Botswana, all fantastic places to visit. I'd love to do it on a bike!
  9. it should be called "sprocket lube", not "chain lube" as the chains are sealed so its really only for the teeth of the sprockets to help prevent them from wearing out....
  10. Ride round in circles as tight as you can. That's endless u-turns.
  11. you want to see how things are in Denmark on the lead up to new year. its like a warzone! Everyone letting fireworks off in the street from mid-afternoon onwards for about a week. Rockets are really cheap, available in most shops. Zero health and safety and nobody moaning about the noise or worrying about being a "safe distance". last year we were letting rockets off from a tiny balcony - so about 1m max away from giant rockets launching whilst in the street below people had those firework cubes that fire loads of exploding stars into the air in the middle of the road with cars (including the police) driving past without a care in the world. Take a look at some footage i shot... https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNIJyNdS2FB_J0oqDfSnLMGp_C9ZjtamCnhmBB0m8VwAH_T62eiPOGReBPBGQviYQ/photo/AF1QipOtQlXQgW-kKhX3VcepLl60S6zU35ghM-k6gGyP?key=TkVZUVJQWXJGemNxUk5BLTZ2azl5WVBtemRZRUFn https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPSec_DryClwerJ0K_93_lpi9vfBqbRMEKvWCdGaQa_BZk_2jPxuQyFnyITxGXZ6w/photo/AF1QipMU9kViZNAZiFV-hbUlxCqFxlkag1dGWtG4Nrr8?key=dnJxZGZJNTVTUWgtRkJiS1JRb0pLbTBzcHRhZzZ3
  12. The sooner people ditch their stupid opinions on nuclear energy and accept that it has the potential to provide vast amounts of cheap, carbon neutral energy the better. Forget fancy windmills and planet heating solar farms, just build a few small scale nuclear power stations. Electricity requirements are only going to increase and nuclear energy is the only realistic way we have to meet the demands.. https://www.nei.org/news/2019/bill-gates-on-nuclear
  13. If you negotiate, some insurers will match your existing NCD used on an existing vehicle on a new policy to get your business. I've done this with cars and bikes in the past. I now have multibike and multicar policies.
  14. No but Greta has
  15. How can you smell the clutch?? I'd you don't use the clutch for downshifts it won't stall, but that doesn't cure the underlying problem of why your idle speed it too low. If it does stall with the clutch pulled just release the clutch gently and it will restart,no need to the starter button.
  16. Thanks guys and gals!! Haha yes I'm on a train but totally sober for once.. won't be for long after I get off the train
  17. eBay buyer protection is pretty good to be fair. If the seller doesn't resolve the issue start a case against them. Last thing they want is bad feedback. Meanwhile maybe but another from another seller.
  18. Were they on Harleys wearing hi-viz "Road Captain" jackets? They are the only ones Ive seen who will block a roundabout and it's a diabolical practice IMO that's asking for trouble when they block the wrong car driver.
  19. You get additional consumer rights when buying online compared to in store.. When people catch on to this retailers will start insisting you come and pay in store!
  20. Only 50quid per month on PCP...
  21. Majority of climate change is due to solar activity. Not much we can do about that!
  22. Keep the planes on the ground with engines running.. climate change morons hate it when cars sit in traffic with their engines running, so they will go totally bat-sh1t-crazy if a bunch of planes sit on the runway with their engines running!!
  23. I sent them an email last night, got a reply this morning saying to go down and meet them, only a small group 35 members, this one is also £12 to join, but you do get affiliated with BMF and MAG which could be a bonus as some insurance companies offer extra discount for being a club member Bikesure give a discount for being a member of this forum.
  24. how long have they had your helmet for? if its too long you are entitled to a replacement. again, read this. https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-rights-act
  25. A squirrel didn't think they would be much of a hump to ride over its the swerve on the wet uneven road that does it... watch till the end to see the slow-motion replay (the squirrel was fine) ">
