    when i went to a lecture on the science of being seen. rear enders are very rare as I asked that very question.
    Pink was the safest colour to wear and making your bike "bigger" using lights on handle bars are a good thing too.

    I have LED hand guards on mine.
    moving your bike to the crown presents a larger area of bike at junctions (the most dangerous for motorbikes)and watch for the car wheel turning when they are stationary indicates they are about to move off. So feather those brakes ready to stop.

    Always be able to stop in the distance you see the road ahead to be clear.

    Center stand does not seem big enough to hold the bike properly, will fudge it for now with a bit of wood.

    I expect once the bike is done I will just stick with the side stand and take it off.

    they have always been marginal at best. Think I welded a plate under each one after checking the pivot wasn't worn

    Hi,

    Does anyone do 3d scanning?

    I have the fillets on the TDM which are starting to breakup do to their age. They are only about 10" long and 4" high and are handed.

    If I can get them scanned, then i could have them 3D printed

    might want to check out a youtuber who calls it the science of being seen.

    Science of Being Seen - Part 1 - TVAM

    Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve probably heard of ‘Biker Down’. It’s an accident scene management and first aid […]

    some really good info in there.

    I did mine with the manchester branch and although they were always mentioning making progress, this didn't phase me and even lost the observer one time on the twists. he then claimed i was speeding when I defiantly wasn't. I do enjoy a spirited ride, although I do like to look around if touring so ride accordingly.

    I got different observers each session which provided a balanced approach as it def is their personal approach within the framework.

    I got a lot out of it and suss a lot of idiots out before they make their move. I do think its depends on who you have observing.

    Hi drewpy

    that would be great if you have some carb bodies I'm mainly after the number three carb body as its cracked.

    ok, let me have a gander. weathers been shite atm

    glad your bonding though, doing your own work can be very satisfying as you care more for your baby than anyone else can.
    If you can get those mesh covers on your seat, it should stop any pooling of water and hopefully keep you drier in the crotch area if that's what is happening
