  2. second that on the spray cans original color - dings filled with 2k body filler tank primed painted an cleared with $10 acrylic paints (cheapest you can get here) then wetsanded with p1200 after 10 mins of drill mounted wool buff pad meguiars 105 fine foam pad meguiars 205 I would definitely use 2k clear for the tank, I used acrylic so if you dont wash it off straight away it marrs the paint and you hve to rebuff it. Beware with 2k the isocyanates can cause severe respiratory reactions in some people and cause permanent sensitisation which means any future small exposure can trigger acute respiratory distress syndrome (like anaphylaxis) spray it only with good ventilation and try not to kill the neighbours kids. the only isocyanate safe mask is a Sundstrom with P3 particle filter and ABE or ABEK filters. I use one and recommend it. A lot of people dont bother and are fine, then you google and read the stories of people sensitized to iso's. good luck!

  4. I find I get more annoyed by other road users when I'm in the car. When I'm on the bike I'm so much calmer and forgiving of folks that do things I don't agree with. Not really sure why... Guess it's a mixture of me knowing I'm more vulnerable on the road and knowing I have the power to get past them and filter through traffic if needed? I don't know, I just find it therapeutic so generally avoid the car now. I clock up quite a few miles on the motorway (so dull). I'm a pretty boring rider - but if someone does something to annoy me I brush it off. Just let them carry on with their day. The best part for me is when someone notices me - lorry or car, if someone sees me in their mirror and doesn't pull out in front of me, or flashes me into their lane, or say thanks because I've let them out etc I always give them a huge thanks back when I can. Makes me so insanely happy that they saw me or acknowledged my act of kindness. I always try to think in my head that no one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Granted there are some pillocks out there doing silly things like texting or obviously flouting the law but for me I just let them go and carry on with my day. Might sound lame to some bikers, and over time I've seen responses on here from folks about smashing mirrors off etc - but I know that if I was to do that I'd end up coming off my bike or something ridiculous! So for me I know that wouldn't work. I have had some stupid things happen, like when I used to commute into Central London daily - a posh car around Chelsea not liking the fact I'd legally filtered to the front at traffic lights. So when they turned green, trying their best to get back in front of me and push me off the road. Pointless getting stressed, angry and reacting. At the end of the day I know I'll end up even further ahead at the next lights. Lol.

  7. So, I've had the bike for two days. Still getting used to it (as Tommy says she's very different to the TR1). And I haven't been on a bike since October. And I thought it would be jolly fun to go to Loomies Cafe down the A339 in the dark. For those who don't know it, the 339 is pretty much all corners. I must be mad. My arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose all the way there.

  9. Had a bee hit me in the throat at 80 on the M25. Didn't sting me but hurt like hell. I never ride without something protecting my neck since then.
