  1. I considered that, but my partner is wanting to learn to ride, so I wanted something she could have once she gets her CBT when I get a bigger bike. Even when I get my new licence, I may not get a bigger bike immediately......,

  2. Meet my new toy. Due to the start up costs ( Bike / Helmet / Leathers / Insurance etc ), I've only taken a CBT Licence at this point. Being 33, and had a full driving licence since 18, I'm in no rush at this moment to get the full licence (Will be within a year though).

    I thought if I'm going to do it, I'll do it properly. Yamaha YZF R125, brand new. Amazing bike, up to 70 no issues, amazing ride, comfy, but really helping me to learn ride a motorbike, completely difference to riding a mountain bike! Great residual value, and I think looks amazing.

    As I said, I'll most likely upgrade to a full licence within a year, but for the time being, I'm having a hell of a lot of fun!

    Surely, that's what riding bikes is all about :-)

    Thanks

  3. I was working in Woolwich this Monday just gone, and I wanted to pay my respects, so I took the time to visit the memorial. For such a horrific event, the sorrow you feel looking at all the messages, coupled with the heartfelt love shown from all races and religions was mind blowing. Kids as young as 3 laying flowers, young children around 6 years old leaving their toy soldiers in memory of Lee left me in tears, and Im not afraid to admit it. The one thing that struck me was the silence. The exact spot where Lee fell is a mass of lovely flowers and messages. Truly mindblowing, and a moving memorial.

  5. Hi Chaps,

    I have a loose non drive side cank arm, and need advice how to fix it. The BB is tight in the shell, the splines are clean with no burring, the crank arm splines are clean again with no burring. I've cleaned the BB Arm, but is still loose. The crank is pressed up solidly against the BB fixed spacer, but its still rocking.

    Any idea how to resolve?

    Thanks

    Darren

  6. Oh and I almost forgot, the stupid new sloped forwrd bar angle ridden by riders.

    I'm not going to get into a debate about it, I think it's stupid, no benefit and makes a rider look like a gorilla.......

    Never saw any of the riders from yesteryear riding like it.........................
