  1. There are 15 clips BTW - 5 x 15 = 75
  2. Hiya Bornard, Welcome aboard and good for you, don't matter how old you are, it's in the blood Shame you're so far away, I've got some free time for the frst time in years, but I'm about 250 miles away, by the time I met up with I'd be heading back home for dinner Sounds like you are doing just the right thing, plenty of practice and going at your own pace, and every single person here has stalled at some time, trick is to do the Mr Bean tsch tsch, shake of the head, roll of the eyes and blame a dodgy bike
  3. Great pics, was a super weekend ! I'm off to Mersea myself next month, going to Bum in the Mud rally, be on the Harley though.
  4. LOL I said to my mate, hope first thing they teach us is best way to pick the bike up off the turf Don't care about falling off, I reckon I'm gonna get durrrrteeee .... SWW ... loose as a goose
  5. Mate of mine is doing a charity ride to Peru and one of her sponsors is the Army. The White Helmets donation to the ride is a free off road training weekend at Bovington Camp in Dorset...... and I have been invited along Always wanted to have a go at this, I love mountain biking and skiing and was always up to my neck in muck as a kid so I reckon this is going to be a fun weekend. Just waiting for the bumpf to come through the post, but any experienced mud skidders on here can offer some words of wisdom so I get the most out of the 2 days ?
  6. If I had to name the 1 record that really sticks in my mind (coz I cant pick an outright fave) it would be Karn Evil 9 - from ELP's Brain Salad Surgery
  7. So you have bought a bike you cannot control for a bit of kudos? Don't get me wrong, it's a cracking bike, but seriously get yourself some post DAS training on it as soon as it arrives. Doesn't matter how much off road practice you've done, at 17 you don't have a lot of traffic experience, that coupled with a bike that is much more powerful than you are used is potentially dangerous. At the very least get yourself along to the nearest Bikesafe day after it arrives. Sorry for sounding like an old fart, but the fact you have ordered the bike without considering the insurance first suggests you're an impulsive kinda guy Just don't want those impulses getting you into strife As for the insurance, phone up, the internet quotes are not geared up to give the best quotes for new riders and restricted bikes, you're better off actually talking to a person.
  8. Glad it was a 'Miss' Halhark, shame of it all is the twat pootled off on his merry way believeing he'd done nothing wrong at all and that he's a good driver! I must say I am a regular user of the button under the indicators, even if they may have seen me, quick beep and a nod as I go by just to say 'thanks for noticing me' Scary though how many drivers visibly jump when I use the horn, like where the feck did that come from ?
  9. Gas-Up ....showing your age Bud Prom is the modern term for the old 6th Form Dance Hey Steve, know anyone with a decent American Car or hotrod (I mean a real American Car!) Have a Google on local Amercan and Hotrod forums see if anyone does events with their ride, my mate used to do loads of proms with a 1960 convertible Cadillac.
  10. +1 Excellent choice John
  11. I get flashed by other PT Cruiser drivers, I have a few chrome bits on mine, but it's not totally blinged up like some of them. It's my shopping trolley first after all.
  12. Sun is shining in London town Loverly day for a ride - even into the City. How did it go Russ?
  13. Hi Royston There's a healthy band of YBR'ers on here so you're in good company.
