It's a 14year old bike, things will need a little attention.. nothing to do with being a triumph! Do clutchless gear changes so you don't let the revs drop between gears. Your problems don't sound that bad tbh.

I've been battered by the cycling brigade on twitter all night! Suggestions that they might benefit form some cycling specific training seems akin to suggesting Americans should surrender their guns! It's like the cycling brigade see it as their constitutional right to ride on the roads with no training and any suggestions that training might save lives results in personal abuse... Just as we see on the roads from the angry sweaty cyclists.. Anyone else on twitter want to come and join the fun??

Lidl socks and base layers are great value and keep you warm. Get some.

Look at the crap I'm having to put up with on twitter. Again. Look at these idiots

Never heard of a pre-cbt before? Is that a real thing or just a way for the bike schools to earn a bit more cash? Sounds like it wasn't a waste of time though. All bike time is good bike time, keep running through the movements so when you get back on the bike it will be easy!

No secret that I think cyclists are idiots even though I myself use a pushbike to get to the train station in the morning. I'm constantly getting into Twitter fights with cyclists who think all other vehicles should be banned and the roads be converted to cyclepaths... But working in London I've seen my fair share of cyclists riding like idiots and "cyclist only" accidents on their new fancy cycle superhighway! So in a way I do wish they would get their own infrastructure so that when the accidents continue to happen and they can no longer blame cars/trucks for their inability to ride, I want to see what bullsh1t they come out with next... Here's a great example of cyclists being idiots. http://youtu.be/5RH5HBq5hOg I think statistically motorcyclist are more at risk, but you don't see us lot bleating about needing to have our own infrastructure do you. 100% of cycling accidents could be avoided simply by not getting on the bike in the first place!

Gaming advice? Stop gaming! Much better things to be doing with your time and money.

Think what we have here is a sleep deprived MrFro with his baby brain and a drugged up and frustrated TC getting upset with each other about silly stuff like words on a screen.. Chill out guys

Nothing wrong with scooters! I used to love thrashing my gilera around London in rush hour. There's a reason the criminals all use them, and that's because in an urban environment, nothing beats them. And at that's prices if it keeps going as long as you need it, you cant go wrong

? GP - General Practitioner.. not a Specialist or an expert or anything reassuring like that, just General..

Never trust anyone with the word "general" in their job title..

That's some serious processing power there, but it still walks like it's crapped it's pants!

I passed my full bike test on 22 December. Not sure I even had proper winter biking gear back in 1993! So no excuses, get it done!!

It's a good helmet, I had one in black. Better in some ways than my Shoei

Get a balaclava and wear it underneath to fill out some space!

It's why I keep a very small SD card in my camera now. It records on a loop, overwriting the older footage. For an accident you just need the few seconds leading up to the crash, not the 30mins of lunatic mayhem you survived before the impact!

I just tried phoning the tinnitus helpline. They told me to leave a message after the tone. bast*rds!

Too symmetrical!! Need to swap a big one for a little one just on one side to keep the trademark BMW asymmetry

Good excuse to buy a 3D printer and make some sort of countoured case that blends nicely with the curves of your helmet.

The first load of sport-DV cameras were good. I used one for a while. I bought a second one with updated firmware and it was useless. Mobius cameras are excellent.

J&S are always up for negotiation. I've been in there before got the sales guys all excited, then said "so what discount are you going to give me if I buy all this stuff now". They know full well they have to give a discount otherwise many people will simply walk out and buy online, so be cheeky and ask for your discount! That's why these discount events are bad in a way as its a reason for them to say no more discounts, but prices are not fixed so haggle them hard!

If the bike can't do it, get a Speedo healer. https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/sh/

Welcome. I had that with a new helmet once. I just had to blow my cheeks out to compress the foam abit. With time it was ok.
