Classickid21 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 How will you get it to the mot station? Walk it its 10 min walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Walk it its 10 min walk away 10 min walk without a bike! Probably half an hour, many tears and OH SH** moments with a bike! Also part of my brain is saying it still needs to be insured....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classickid21 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 How will you get it to the mot station? Push it But that is actually a good question. 10 min walk from me lucky enough i picked the one nearest to me, up a small hill then down a long hill. and then repeat the steps in reverse .... or my old man said if it goes though a MOT if its okay with me to put insurance on it and he will use it as and when... that's one way i don't mind the walk/push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggs Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ah thanks for clarifying EAB thought there was some law like that.There was a story (on the Internet so may not be true!) About a guy who was really drunk so slept in his car but because he had the keys on him got done for possible intent to drink drive or some such.

Classickid21 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I checked this out with a couple big bikers and my old man, no insurance etc i never new, always seeing youngsters walking there cbt bikes, didn't think i was doing any wrong, i was stopped many year ago pushing a brand new Chinese chonky bike with no reg they did checks and then it come find and send me on my way. I havant booked it yet, waiting for the car to remove from the property, ill ring up js gedge or hastings motorcycle see of thry can collect, and what it will cost, if its a silly amount i will just get the old man to go on the insurance and ride it to and from the mot centre.

eastanglianbiker Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 easist way is insure it for your dad to ride then get him to ride it there and back as long its its booked in then its legal to ride directly to the mot centre the twist is if it passes t hen you are meant to tax it before going home as its now done online bt should be ok just riding it back home if its not t o far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classickid21 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Car Has sold and gone but the er5... My old man wizzed it up the road and it might not being going up for sale. Might be letting the old man ride it long term.. I think i might cut my ties with it and give it to him as early fathers day present its good to see the old man back on a bike. Its been a few years since i last saw him road worthy on a bike. The last one was a 1200'thorphy but he had to give up because of his knee op and bad hands.. I am going to discuss it with him see if he would like it or would he like me to recover the land rover from the midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classickid21 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have Eased the old man in, said would he like the bike to ride about as and when, he said thank you for offer, but If he was to go back to a bike it be 1200 again, but he said hes hands was playing up after the ride, sad times so he said if i can sort out getting the landrover from corby to south east, then he would be more happy in his monster of a toy. But he was really thankful for the idea but the bike wouldn't get used much he told me to sell it get my das sorted. It was worth a try... Ill try find a nice picture of the land rover... Update the er5Need to adjust the rear brake should the rear wheel freely then push the foot brake it stops but if i go any tighter the brake gets sharper and the rear wheel does not spin as much.. Should i like it where it is The drum shoes have alot of meat still and i cleaned the pads and inside the wheel when i did the bearing.... Well hopefully its done i pick up mu ramp this week i will get a video of my first propper ride on the drive (bit naughty but cul de sac to cul de sac. I am proud of my self i am slowly getting all the projects done one at a time Honda chaly cf70 next Modified or standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 the er5 should have brake marker sat on the spline to help you sort it out but if it hasnt then you should wind the adjuster in on the thread so u can feel it touching as you turn the wheel then back it off between 1/2 and 1 full turn and test it then but also make sure you havent got the brake actuator arm in the wrong position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I washed the bike now it won't start ? Just turns over no attempt tonstart left it for few hours to drive tried again no luck :( just as i was about to take it for MOT this has happened ? I have not checked anything yet :/ back to square 1 i am not happy now... Left it alone its covered up and locked away. Leave to dry out tomorrow or monday i might give it another try turning over if no luck then, drain the tank check air box isn't full of water. It wouldn't bump/select into gear ?

eastanglianbiker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 well the 2 orange lights are oil light which should be on when engine is not running and the other one is temperature warning,if it is turning over you havent flicked the kill switch by chance have you?but if it was running before you pressure washed it then you have got water into the electrics somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
