Hey all. I've got my mod 2 test on Tuesday 2nd Dec and starting to get a little nervous if I'm honest. The test is being done on a Gladius 650cc with abs, the thing is that I've not been on the road since my CBT and that was on a Honda 125cc and they are really different esp when it comes to the gears. Is there any advise that could be given with regards to not making a total hash of the test? Thanks, Rafen.

Hi Folks Just found this on MCN's website. http://igg.me/at/motogroom/x A new start-up company is seeking funding for a helmet dryer and it looks really useful. Drying time after a full wash is 3 hours (as opposed to 3 days whenever I do it!) so I reckon it's worth £39 to get it going? Oh, and get a dryer as well, obviously!

Saw this on ebay, its like a real TDR but smaller!

Let me explain... Guitarists dont wanna share knowledge, or ideas or licks. They think somethin up, they wanna keep it to themselves Drummers are the opposite, come up with something cool its available for everyone to use! Bikers are the same it seems! I was a bit intimidated by bikers at first because I knew nothing and was out if my comfort zone but you lot in here are so keen to share experience and knowledge. Good on ya! Im a drummer too

Haven't seen Andy about for a while, has he left the building?

Now, I've not been myself, but I understand a few of you liked the place and were sad at it closing So, in case you've not heard... check: http://www.loomies.co.uk/ One day, I may take the ride down for a visit.

Im in the UK, hertfordshire. And you?

sorry that should be not funny really, but... apparently masks of shamed rolf harris are big sellers, not exactly festive or in the spirit of good will but scary alright

hey guys, Im gonna do my DAS in the spring, I really liked the place I did my CBT but the full 3 day training is £750. Any ideas if this is a good price? It includes test fees Ive been looking online at it seems a bit high, but then again if the training from there is at a higher standard I think its worth it. Ive my own 125, and ride it often and have lots of road experience, been driving bands on tours for ten years. Some places offer 2 day courses for around £450. I dont wanna pay way too much but I dont want shit instructers either ya know? Im reluctant to name the place incase i piss anyone off !

Well the DVSA figures show in year 2013/14 only 353 17 year olds sat the A1 module, In 2012/13 the figure was 3294 . A drop of 90% ,,,, so I see Motorcycling being like the dinasaurs in 20 years time,,

Time: 21:15 to 22:15 (1 hour long). When: Monday 24th November on British Eurosport

I'm going to trade in my FJR as I dont really use it, for a cruiser. I would prefer an un-bias answer. Its between: Victory Hammer Victory Jackpot Yamaha XVS1900 what do you think?

Ok boys and girls have a question for you. I bought a spare tank for the FJ (thanks foamy) good tank and all but it has been lined (I think) at some time with one of those liquid sealer's to stop the tank leaking or even to protect it from rusting inside, well anyway the problem is that the stuff has started to come off inside and in fact there is a great big lump of stuff rattling around inside about the size of a packet of fags or bigger, is there any way to melt this stuff or otherwise get it softened so I can get it out of the tank? I don't know what the guy used to seal the tank but was thinking if petrol don't melt it what does? Any advice greatfully received as I'm…

As some of you might know Foamy sold me his fairing set off of his FJ, all fine but I forgot to ask for a key to fit the fuel tank (DOH!) anyhow I really needed to get the cap off so I can get it painted and foams has been busy so I decided to try picking the lock. I bought, last year, a set of lock picks just for the fun of it, really wanted to see if it was possible to actually pick a lock and if so how long it would take, well long story short after about 5 minutes I had the lock off and tank is ready for painting, so if you buy an old bike or part that has a lock on it and you need to get it open buy one of these from Amazon Believe it or not it's quite legal to own…

This is another on line petition. It does not involve a motorcyclist however, we are more at risk when riding to injurys caused by the stupidity of others. Please have a read and, if you would like to support it, take a few minutes to sign it. http://www.change.org/p/david-cameron-mp-introduce-a-new-offence-of-causing-serious-injury-by-careless-driving-to-the-law Many thanks.

Taken from a MAG email this morning , this twat should rot in jail forever, anyone that leaves any human in that situation should never be allowed out in public again! You may have heard about the death of Jade Clark, a 16-year-old who was killed when she was hit by Brian Hampton, on the A31 while on her moped travelling to work in February 2013. Banned for drink-driving at the time, Hampton not only didn’t stop, but he then attempted to cover up his involvement by having his car repaired and lying to his family. He was sentenced to six years in prison – two for causing Jade’s death by careless driving and four years for perverting the course of justice. He has …

I bought a new hammer, because I forgot my fave one in my tool box.Perfet hammer used to drive 1 nail in, on the end of my left thumb. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck can be found somewhere in the field behind my house. First come first serve

I almost brought another Suzuki TS the other week but the deal fell through - ahhhhh. But to cheer myself up I brought my self another toy. You can't beat a nice Gibson guitar, can you?
