    Hi all,

    Thanks for your kind welcomes. I just thought I'd follow it up with the news that I passed my theory test!

    I was thinking before I start to get lessons for the practical tests I just wondered if anyone could recommend any books that can help on improving riding skills? Also can anyone give some tips on pefecting U-turns/tight turns? I've kinda got it, but think I'm not using the right technique especially after watching this!!:

    I didn't think it was possible for bikes of that size to turn like that! Amamzing!

    Thanks!

    well done on the theory Voxy, tight turns and U turns I was crap at also til my instructor told me to sit bolt upright (use your back and stomach muscles) and keep your chin level with the road (upright) ;) , best of luck :)

    mmmmm, think a gas torch would be too fierce a heat Paul,

    ok, another bonkers idea to try

    send the missus out for the day with the credit card (she'll be out for ages)

    fill an old chip pan with oil-put it on the barbie til its hot, cooking oil will reach about 300°C and will give a nice uniform heat, transfer to the bondage device in the vice, spray the cap with your freeze spray - et viola

    film these events for you-tube-it could be a classic ! :lol:

    My mates speedo went a month ago DT, it was a brownish coloured ceramic bush at the wheel hub end-the two little lugs had broken-no surprise as it looks really weak-the replacement looked like it was more brittle a material-with plastic bits on, think its defo a weak spot on the SV - his was £22-and a fecker to get aligned when replacing :angry:
