Re: Bumped off....need some advice please

Thanks for the reply Tam. No one has come to look at it, they just said the assessor told them over the phone the bike was too old to repair and they would just write it off.

Re: Lidl Biker Offers

I found the gloves quite good they aren't too bulky but found my finger tips got cold after about 30mins, trade off between feel for the controls and bulky insulation I suppose. Worth the £15.

Re: Lidl Biker Offers

Bought the gloves and base layers. Gloves look good to me they carry the CE mark, leather palm and Thinsulate lining as well. Worth a go for £15.

Re: Golf advice!

Check where the ball is within your stance. When you hit your driver the ball is placed at your left heel so you sweep it away. Mid to short irons need to be placed more in the centre of your stance...

Re: Crash bungs - worth putting them on?

I got R&G crash bungs when I first got my curvey s, I over balanced a couple of times and they kept the fairing off the tarmac and saved the mirror. They were well worth putting on for me.

Re: Bluetooth stereo reccomendations

I had a parrot ck3000 fitted to my Peugeots existing stereo a few years ago. £99 all in at halfords. It uses the existing speakers and cuts the music for an incoming call. It does the job.

Re: Pulled for doing 70 mph in a 40 zone ooops

Can't believe you got away with that! I thought once you got caught doing more than 30 mph over the posted limit you got an automatic court date and a ban.

Mostly they are looking but not seeing.

Just seems a bit harsh. You were in your lane and exited properly. It seems to depend on the mood of the examiner. On my test I went wrong way at roundabout (safely) and later ran an amber light. The...
