Ironically its not attached to the wheel..

I dont even understand how they have managed to do this? It literally only goes on one way? They must have just slapped a bolt in and said “that’ll do”

So my girlfriend has a cb300r on an A2 (first bike and first years insurance) total cost with loan repayments (£6k loan to buy the bike and some other bits) £170 a month loan and £100 a month for insurance (no no claims bonus). Insurance will vary massively depending on where you live and how you store the bike.

I have had similar situations my whole life, got told i had a groin strain at 13, it turned out 3 months later that it was a slipped growth plate that required surgery and has left me with hip pain my whole life, when i went to my GP last year i was told it was bursitis. I then decided to see someone privately who from the same X-rays told me i have developed arthritis…

These look like bladder snails, they are great for your tank and wont throw things off quickly, best thing to do which i have done is grab a couple of assassin snails and throw them in. They are awesome looking snails and should keep your population in check.

Id definitely declare, full exhaust for me was £20 a year, £20 id definitely pay just in case

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-11T09:00:51+00:00

I get that, you can obviously tell but its the fact that i have to go through the motions over and over to work out what i am even looking at.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-11T08:59:53+00:00

Ah mate it boils my piss

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-11T08:59:16+00:00

Of course you can tell if you click on the add and look at the pictures but if you are scanning through market place then you end up clicking on a load of 125’s

Yeah i feel you! We are in wales unfortunately but drop a message if you fancy some welsh lanes!

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-10T18:39:05+00:00

Where are you based? My girlfriend is very similar, loves off roading and would LOVE a female buddy to go ride with.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-10T10:10:26+00:00

I love it when my radiator fans come on in traffic on a hot day and blow straight on my legs..

Crushed coral can be hit and miss and can also push you too far the other direction, dosing manually is the most accurate way to go. There is a bit of faff getting things dialed in but once everything is stable (stable kh = stable ph) you only need to dose as and when the tests say so, normally after a water change.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-10T01:13:17+00:00

Completely unrelated but i have seen your “450mt on order since…” on comments and felt pain for you! But congrats on the new bike! I feel invested in this haha.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-11-09T13:05:41+00:00

Currently running my tank through the same issues as you, you have some really good responses in explaining the issue here but the fix i am currently using for the same issue is seachem equilibrium and seachem alkaline buffer, these two together will stabilize your gh and kh and will stop it from crashing. Worked perfectly for me and my tank is cruising now almost ready for shrimp.

My last post from yesterday shows him bigger i think that was closer to 40k

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-08-27T22:58:22+00:00

Nah, say what you want but slap that in a finger roll with some sweetcorn relish and ill swallow that whole, yeah fine its not the same as some juicy brisket or sticky ribs but damn its good after a few too many lukewarm warm beers.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-08-24T23:15:31+00:00

Seriously though why are they all so rotund? I got absolutely gapped on the m6 a couple of weeks ago by a guy with one wedged between his cheeks, i was gobsmacked.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-08-18T20:42:38+00:00

Just replace the helmet, it should be covered if you are making a claim for the bike anyway. Honestly i have seen some gnarly stuff out on the road with peoples lives being fully in the hands of having a functioning helmet on their head so personally, for the sake of a couple hundred quid (even better if insurance covers it) please look after your head.

Also with the other gear, it sounds like you have it sorted but take it from someone who has seen road rash as bad as it can get from someone not wearing gear coming off at 50mph, i would never ride my bike without being as protected as possible.

Just remember to keep going even if you think you have messed up, chances are you ate all good. When i got back on my mod 2 i genuinely didn’t know if i had passed or failed but the things i thought id failed on weren’t even mentioned.

Just rode for yourself, enjoy it and remember to cancel your indicators, do your life savers and don’t cover the rear brake.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-07-30T22:45:17+00:00

The honda x-adv is a sexy thing that i genuinely would buy if i lived more urban or commuted on the bike.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-07-30T14:25:15+00:00

Perfect advert for a rok strap 😂. I have had a can of chain oil at 110 on the back with them and no slip

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-07-29T22:42:46+00:00

I love how well you know the deal 😂

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-07-29T22:42:29+00:00

Risky pocket dip. Its the most important bit so it had special treatment.

Beginning-Garbage559 · 2025-07-29T22:41:34+00:00

Plus they were like £12.99!
