Carrying Cards (Registration/Insurance) on my Bike
What about a little pouch like you see on the rear mudguard of an enduro bike? Mudguard = fender in US language.

Am I turning into a grumpy old bast...rd
I'm so glad my first post was a hello!! lol Seriously, it bugs the shit out of me too. On one of the car forums I'm a member of, pretty much every week some pleb steams in with "How much power can my engine handle before I need forged pistons and rods?", or "How much boost can my turbos handle?", without as much as a hello goodbye or kiss my arse as way of an introduction. Another favourite is people asking the same damn questions that have been asked for the past 10 years. The answer is usually, "Use the fucking search function!!" I think I may be a grumpy old bastard too. Actually, I know I am.

R1 idling little rough and hesitates...
They do possibly need cleaning and they do possibly need balancing. You can also have them flow tested. I'd be wary of any mechanic that said he didn't know injectors could be cleaned.

R1 Brake Calipers on YZF750 forks?
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine the 4 piston caliper will be lighter than the 6 piston caliper. And if it is, it will reduce the unsprung weight. Which can only be a good thing.

Road rage!!!!
I was a despatch rider in London for 15 years, some of the shit I saw daily, was just ridiculous. A 'bloke' was on his bike riding along and this car driver cut him up almost knocking the 'bloke' off his bike. The 'bloke' bibbed his horn and shook his head. The car driver was shouting his gob off and giving wanker hand signals. At the set of lights they were both approaching, the 'bloke' put his bike on the stand and walked back towards the car, at which point the driver got out and then immediately saw the trouble he was in. He was nowhere near as big as the 'bloke' on the bike and he shit himself and said "I don't want any trouble!" The 'bloke' on the bike said, "Well what did you get out of the fucking car for?" Then the 'bloke' punched the car driver and knocked him sparko. Then he walked back to his bike as if nothing happened and carried on with his day. Moral of the story? Don't upset a 'bloke' on a bike who is considerably bigger than you, and when he bibs his horn at you, it's because you nearly caused an accident. If somebody does bib at you, cos you're a careless car driving twat, have the brains to acknowledge you were in the wrong in the first place. That way you'll go home with all your teeth.

Parking fine
Unless the fine is issued by the police or the local authority, ignore it. The official ones you have to pay. The ones issued by cowboys are nothing to worry about, they don't prosecute you, they just send threatening letters and expect you to believe them. Don't even reply to them, just bin them. I know of loads of other people, on other forums, that have been in the same predicament, and they all said the same thing. Unless it's an official fine, ignore it.

Squared off tyre - rescue?
Have you been doing burnouts or donuts? If not, do what has already been suggested. Either check your tyre pressures, or try leaning. The only time my tyres square off is when I used to do silly things, like burnouts and donuts. lol

Membership Number
It's for classic insurance, if I'm a member of an owners club it's a tad cheaper. Thanks for the speedy reply

Membership Number
I joined last night and paid for Professional Membership, the payment has gone through but I have no confirmation of this on my profile or by email. I need a membership number for my insurance company and I can't ride my bike until it's sorted out. Best regards Chris
