    Have a look here honey:

    BIKEGEAR.COM

    They have branches countrywide or you can buy online. I just bought a full set of really nice leathers for £180.

    I got a Frank Thomas textile jacket fromthem too for £60.

    Hey everyone!

    Awww! Well ... good luck to you! Sadly, the two best biker pubs in Hanley don't exist anymore. The BlackHorse (or was it Whitehorse?), nope, def the Black ... was knocked down years ago, and The Starr is a 'hotel' now of sorts. Well, I am sure there are others around for you to find. It is great that you are starting so young!

    Get round there with some of your biker buddies and claim it back! :lol:

    Goff,

    Would I be correct in the assumption that doing 80mph over the speed limit with a child on the back of your bike is fine, is this your point of view?

    Because you have not said…

    Are you insane..

    WTF?

    But in this case I would tend to side with your attitude that it is best not to know what happens when a 7,8,9,14 or 16 year old crashes doing 150mph on the back of a bike.

    If you don’t agree with my post you should not reply to it or if you think it will offend people you should delete it and send me a PM

    Where did i mention that i thought your post would offend someone?

    And why are you making assumptions about me? Did i say I agreed with the speed his dad was doing?

    I know EXACTLY what happens when a child is killed or injured on the back of a motorcyle - i spent 5 years working for Greater Manchester Ambulance Service and i now work in Prosthetics so FYI i think im pretty much well informed thanks.

    My "insane" comment was aimed at your "have you told your child they might die" post - you didnt word it exactly like that but that is what it was.

    And i would thank you not to tell me what i should and should not do regarding replying to your posts - i as everyone else am entitled to answer whether i agree or not.

    Telling a child they might die is not a good thing to do at all and im still wondering why the hell you do??

    I'm out of work at the minute so I dont think I can afford a solicitor just yet, although I may be able to get legal aid, but I'm not sure what way it works if I'm going to small claims court. I'l do a bit of reasearch on that 1, in the mean time I've sent the form away to the compensation agency so I'l see what they say. tanks :D

    You can get a free consultation with most solicitors hun.

    They will tell you in that time if you have a case and what you can do - phone a couple its worth a shot

    whats wrong with these people?

    erm, oops! seems that I ate all the biscuits whilst waiting for someone to say 'hello', and besides, I wouldn't wish to offer Goff just any old type of biscuits ... she may be quite fussy ... and so, it seems that I could easily get on the wrong side of her! Unintentionally, of course.

    And hello to you too, Vic: thanks!

    Y'see people and their assumptions again......

    Im really a very very nice lady indeed - i just dont suffer fools lightly

    Welcome to the forum - i like Jaffa cakes btw ;)

    Ok lets answer this one......

    hi goff,

    im a newby in this forum.and ive been reading some topics on here,i can see that ur one of the moderators. recently handai was suspended for using bad words,is it because hes just a member and hes not aloud to use such foul words?(i can understand that coz its offensive to use them)im saying that coz u the moderator have used the "F" word several times, in wich i think is wrong specially it offends u wen its used against u or anyonelse,and also wen handai left the forum for a few weeks and then came back with a DAS in his hand, happy ofcourse..anyway he was a changed man then,,friendly,,talking civilised to everyone..and then one time u posted this topic called"victory in bus lanes" or something..

    anyway handai asked u somethig wich is this:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    even though they havent changed all signboards yet???

    REPLY by GOFF:

    Give them a fuckin chance! This was only agreed on the 5th January - its only the bloody 7th today!

    the man asked you a sensible question and he got an abrupt anser..why??is that the moderators attitude?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    He got a sensible answer - you dont know, me and obviously have no idea about me so as the others have said - stick around and see how different folk post before you start making assumptions about me.

    And its not because he used "bad words" - i swear a lot - regular members know i do and i make no apologies for it.

    If YOU thinks it offensive - tough - this is a bike forum not a fuckin kindergrten.

    and then the recent incident..handai posted this:

    QUOTE (handai @ Feb 15 2009, 12:22 PM)

    do u all know the importance and the technique of down-shifting gears? very important ie;to avoid locking up rear tyre and to avoid unecessary wear on the drive train.

    so..if u wanna kno the technique just ask..

    "this is for newby riders

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    from my point of view, i think he was referin it to learners..if u read the last sentence...

    then wat happens?????

    u LAUGHED AT HIM< u slagged him off big time...and then comes pilninggas...asks some silly questions:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Again - you have not been here long enough to know Handai like we do

    Handai, some questions for you:

    What are your views on back-torque limiters in aiding competent down shifting? Do you think as devices they are useful for instance if all weight is transferred forwards? What about the response times of such devices?

    What technique do you use to mate engine speed to rear wheel speed on traditional set-ups? Do you blip with two-fingers or lower rpms to avoid blipping?

    What are your views on puposely allowing the rear wheel to break traction on down-changes to allow the motorcycle to be 'backed-in' Rossi-style?

    How do you think variomatic and electronically controlled dual clutch systems differ from regular clutches when undertaking down changes?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    handai would ofcours find some answers to these type of questions as hes not an engineer to have an instant answer.

    anyway he gathers some answers from the internet like anyone would do...then he posts them...then wot happens???

    you slagged him off AGAIN>>>who on earth would not get veksed in his situation???

    i think its a bit unfair on him wen everyone is against him that moment....however there was one person atleast understood him:(barkwindjammer) ?

    Slagged him off? He was asked for HIS opinion on these things seeing as he felt such and urge to give newbies a lesson on downchanging when he's pretty much a beginner himself - it was not his opinion he gave but a copy and paste from the net - that IS NOT his opinion - so what do you expect folk to do? Should we be in awe cos he is intelligent enough to copy and paste? I dont fuckin think so.

    He replies to goff:

    QUOTE (Goff @ Feb 16 2009, 06:15 PM)

    This is THE funniest thread i've seen in a long time

    barkwindjammer:

    some of you may mock, but am 42, just got a 600 divvy (a comforting sort of name for a bike )

    so this kind of input is, well, unvaluable to no vices, like wot I am, so am gonna make a confession, yes, sometimes I am a cabron !, there.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    so please moderators be fair to everyone....thank you!

    We were fair - as i said you have not been here long enough to experience the ramblings of Handai like most if us therefore i suggest that before you decide we are not "fair" you stick around and see what goes on.

    But i have to ask - do you think its fair that Handai should slag off other members bikes? Do you think its fair that he calls people vile names? Do you think its fair that he starts threads slagging off the moderators? Do you think its fair that members should have to put up with his stupid ramblings full of derogatory remarks about other members?

    I guess you missed the one where he told me i needed sex :rolleyes:

    Yes i swear a lot - but i would NEVER call another member the vile things he did - hence why he was banned.

    Now may i suggest you spend as much time reading all the other posts int he forum and getting to know a bit about each of us as you did trawling through it looking for my posts which you thought you could pull to pieces.

    And here is a piece of parting advice - as a newbie it is never a good idea to question the actions of the admin and mods in a public forum.

    If you have a problem with me - fuckin PM me - better still come find me and do it personally - cos im exactly the same in the flesh as i am on here - just ask a few members who have met me and talked to me - because your previous thread is titled "To Everyone" yet you start it Hi Goff!

    And yeah - im pissed off sign_disgruntal.gif

    Thank you for your reply, but as I have said you are jumping to conclusions on my opinion on taking your child on the back of your bike, I have not change the topic “kids going pillion” all the replies have been changed to other activities that you feel that put your child at risk, and you obviously feel that I am judging you and you all feel the need to defend yourselves. All I have asked for is a simple Yes or No.

    And as i said - there are no conclusions to jump to.

    You havent answered my question either.

    And i would also like to know what purpose youthink it will serve to tell a child this???

    Thank you all for your replies but who said wrap your child in cotton wool. you are all jumping to conclusions .

    simple question but not one simple reply

    I am not talking about, school trips, swimming, crossing the road, smoking, walking through glass doors, windows, sky diving, playing with fire,

    I did not ask your opinion on whether you should tell your child the truth or avoid it so......

    Well let me throw a spanner in the works, has any body on this topic told the child they are about to take out on a ride it could be their last ride!

    Leather, crash helmet, gloves, boots and a pillion pal but you can’t protect them from

    Sorry Mate Did Not See You!

    Well did you tell them it could be their last ride?

    And don’t tell me it will not happen to you

    But this time please answers YES or NO

    You answer my question then....

    Do you think it is appropriate to tell a child that it might be their last ride?

    And if so why?

    As for jumping to conclusions - when you ask whether anyone has told their child they might die - which is what you are really saying - i dont think there are any conclusions to jump to - seems pretty clear cut to me

    This is an absolutely RIDICULOUS thing to say to a child and i would think that you know that all of us would say no to this.

    worst injury

    Just picked up the April 09 issue of Superbike Magazine and oh my word...page 36 shows a horrific leg injury pic for some poor bloke who had a run in with a car who "didnt see him"...

    There's a section called "Through the Grinder" - readers injuries, they even send you a back protector if they print your pic / story...OUCH!

    I just hope I never see / endure anything like that.....stay safe everyone :eusa_pray:

    I see lots of bikers in the clinics.

    Most of their amputations are due to accidents - surprisingly most are caused by infection brought on by road rash, rather than the accident itself - and its often months after the events that their limb(s) are removed...........

    Are you insane??

    Why the hell would i tell my 9 and 10 year old that this might be their last ride?

    WTF??

    Its like telling them they cant go on a school trip because the coach might crash, or they cant go swimming because they might drown.

    No one is saying it wont happen to them but to suggest we should tell out children they might die on a ride out with us is idiotic at the least.

    Think about what you just typed and how bloody ridiculous it sounds.
