What a load of rubbish!! It must be displayed. I have it on good authority (motorcycle cop) in the near future bikes will not be required to display the tax disc. but at the the moment you must.

The only time I've had trouble filturing in rural Chippenham was when we found an unexploded bomb from the second world war in a field. The traffic was built back for about five miles, I slowly filtered for approx four miles, until a bombastic lorry driver decided to throw all his lunch rubbish out at me. what a prat, everybody else pulled into the left.

I think the simple answer to that is wherever you can find a bolt or screw towards the front end of the bike, my disc is attached to the front brake caliper bolt.

Anyway LS, your not that much of a late starter, I didn't start riding till I was 41 and twenty one years later I'm still like a kid with a new toy when I get on the bike every morning to go to work. At this time of year it usually takes me thirty minutes to do a six mile journey by going round the country lanes. Two things. 1 - keep us posted when you take your test 2 - is Rutland still the smallest county in England?

Welcome to the forum LS, I agree you don't look to happy. There is a lot of serious posts on here but also there is a lot of humour and joking hopefully to put a smile on your face.

Welcome to the forum Lynn You're not a footballers daughter are you?

I can just imagine the poor biker riding behind your coach on his air conditioned bike as your passenger flushes the loo. The shit really would hit the fan! :lol:

Hi Andy, good intro, but effing ell, a bit fast for us old grumpy gits.

I had a very similar occurance last December, but it was more of a clunk than a click. One of the brushes was stuck in the starter motor, released it, WD40'd it, and still works perfect. Hope this helps Mike (one of the old grumpy gits)

Times were hard those days, one Christmas we gave our ten year old son an empty shoe box for his main present. We told him it was an action man deserter.

I know exactly what you mean DDT, nobody loves me either, even when I was at school my mum used to wrap my sandwiches up in a roadmap.

They were brill Drewps, can I presume you were the baldy on the bass?

So have I

For reasons only known to us I hope you are ok, myself and J & J are really gutted over recent events. Anyway, welcome to the forum and I hope you get all the help you require. To all the regular contributors please help this fellow biker, he means a lot to me for reasons I can't go into at the moment but he was mentioned in one of my earlier topics.

Not funny! Apart from that I do believe I have an item of furniture belonging to the late Adolf Hitler. Apparently, when I'm at work and somebody sits in my armchair next to the woodburner, my wife says, "you can't sit there that's Hitlers chair"

Hi Choc. Do we know each other? I think we do.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF FIRST See I can shout louder :lol:

Welcome Mike, dare I ask which Liverpool club you follow? Personally I'm non league. Good luck when you take your test, let us know if when you pass.

Hi Bonjo, I'm one of the grumpy gits. A bit of paternal advice. Not the best of introductions, first things first. Introduce yourself. Name? - we know that, Bonjo male/female - ? where from - ? interests - ? The point is introduce yourself first, wait for all the Hi's and welcomes. THEN - Ask the questions! We get so many people coming on here to find a solution to their problem, getting advice, not even replying to say thanks and never to be heard of again. It certainly makes my blood boil, how many other regular members feel the same?? Anyway, Bonjo, please prove me wrong. reply with a great intro and a commitment to become a regular memember.

Why would you keep the Honda when you give up biking?

Golly Gosh Finch, that makes my job in a warehouse in rural Wiltshire(England) quite boring. But, as I have only three years til I retire I can't wait to get on my bike and explore the fantastic countryside we have in England/Wales/Scotland (weather wife permitting)

Welcome to Yankee Oscar Charlie Finch,: Couple of questions, male/female? where from? interests?

Hi Piggle, two things, you spell licence the American way?? Second, Where about in Pompey are you, as you can see by my avitar I was stationed in Gosport. Apart from the third degree, welcome to the YOC forum.
