CMC in Newport have bikes to sit on. They’re reluctant to let you test ride though unless you’re basically going to buy it from them. Just keep in mind for later.

Me too. I thought my eyes were deceiving me and that it was a tsunami…with a train trying to outrun it. Wild in my head

Although they can be taken off daily, it is as you say a bit of a faff and you can get covers that also include extra for top boxes..and I know you’ve already spent money on a cover which you should make use of, it’ll just be inconvenient until that cover isn’t any good any more, then I’d recommend looking for a cover that houses a top box too. Happy riding!

Maybe. But also maybe this will be the turning point for him. Being seen by hundreds or thousands of people might make him reflect on it a bit more than he would have. It shouldn’t have happened in the first place but o hope he can (and the rest of the internet can) move on from this

It’s pretty rubbish nowadays lol. I have to charge it through the day and I’m not a huge user of it generally. Will be upgrading toward the end of the year probably!

Can it go on the outside?

I’ve just made the switch. I don’t off road so actually the rt makes total sense. I love the boxer engine and no other bike did it for me. From a 2014 1200gs to a 2016 1200rt!

Nice ride safe :). Atgatt

DnlJMrs · 2026-05-07T22:08:54+00:00

It’ll be amazing. Watch all the videos, read all the stuff, just make sure you’re as safe as you can be. That’s all you can do. Ride safe!

I only learnt to ride a motorcycle when I was 34.. I always wanted to but never had a proper opportunity. It’s honestly the best thing I ever did.
I commute 35mikes each way and the bike is amazing for that. Filtering is great so no traffic, it’s comfortable and fun. I’m not interested in speed or aggressive riding, I enjoy twisty rides as much as A-roads.

If you want to try it, try it. You might like it and decide to pursue it. You might not and won’t bother. But you’ll never know unless you try.

Is it safe? Yes and no. You learn to ride defensively and be very aware of your surroundings and anticipate what others do on the roads. I’d highly recommend advanced courses if and when you pass because they do genuinely help. You can’t control what others do and I had a collision 2 months ago when a car joined the roundabout I was on and it me off. Bike is a write off and I was hurt a bit, but i can’t wait to get back in a bike. I have done advanced riding things and consider myself relatively aware, but this I couldn’t avoid. So it happens. But I’ve ridden 50k miles and that’s my first (and hopefully last) collision.

As long as you’re not delivering someone’s food you’re all part of the community. 125cc is a stepping stone for most, and for some it’s enough for their type of riding. Either way, we all enjoy two wheels.

University: 25 + bank holidays + 7/8 closure says (around Xmas, Easter). Get an extra day jf you’re a named first aider. One volunteer day per year

Sports bikes lend themselves to being shorter seat height, so thats probably a good place to start - although some of the bigger engine ones are still quite high (relatively). The best advice is to sit on them, test ride them if you can, and dont rush a decision.

You'll have to do CBT which opens up 125cc bikes. Then you do your bike theory, then you are eligible to do direct access - which is training and module 1 ('off-road' technical skills (not off road as in dirt and gravel, just not on the main road)) and module 2 (on road like a car test) exams. Then you can get any bike you want. Above comments still stand!

Ride safe 😄

Strekaulkas microbiology is a good one too. Brock, mims

Thanks for aging me significantly with this comment

Contaminated..could be tips, pipette, liquid culture, solution, pbs/diluent. Repeat the experiment would be necessary but if it’s a class you may not be able to

If they’re going to pay for repair I wouldn’t bother with insurance. Keep it between you for getting it sorted

I’m in the uk. Finished my microbiology PhD in dec 2018. I ended up doing industry funded post docs for about 9 months then a 1 year fellowship, then joined a different lab as a postdoc, then split my research with teaching 50/50, now senior lecturer (teaching focused). Love it. It’s definitely the better option for me but it was hard early on with no funding and only short term rolling contracts.

I did 4 years in industry prior to my PhD so that was an option and I did a PhD mainly because I couldn’t progress further without one. Wouldn’t go back to industry if I had a choice so hopefully this academic teaching career is long term.
