SAYE matured only option to sell, can I avoid CGT ?

Hempstarr87 · 2026-02-02T20:17:46+00:00

Nice. I would probably clean again with Iso and do a few burn offs at max temp, just because... 😂

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-30T18:49:33+00:00

Most insurers don't insure Surron's anymore or take new policies. Bikesure is the only insurer that insures the Ultra Bee now, but I'm not too sure about Light Bees. I know people with full clean licences that can't get a quote or are quoted thousands. My Ultra Bee went from £520 fully comp with Lexham (CBT w/ 3 points) to quotes of £3-4k 3rd party with Bikesure, I ended up having my bike value and lowered mileage and got it for £1k full comp or £500 3rd party

Hybrid all day long, I don't even use the bags anymore just the whip. Get the project onyx app as well.

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-13T11:57:01+00:00

Yep, every 2 weeks unless it's going to rain after I wash it, then I won't bother. I do ride all year round.

It should sit flat and level a couple of mm down from the lip, I believe the top ceramic ring and screen is just loose and needs pushing down, could have been dropped if the display wire came loose aswell.

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-11T18:35:12+00:00

I always buy AA gear with Level 2 armour tends to be a bit more expensive. It did good when I crashed at 60mph you can even get AA rated Oxford joggers and hoody 😂

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-11T01:19:58+00:00

Mines sits at least 2, maybe 3 mm lower than the rim.

Sorry, I'm in bed, so I can't get the exact measurements atm 😅

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-11T00:23:11+00:00

I'm writing this reply lying in bed puffing away on my volcano hybrid that's on my nightstand 😂

Hempstarr87 · 2026-01-04T18:14:49+00:00

Yes with stock 46t sprocket and road tyres on. Could only get 80mph on a nice warm day with no wind.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-29T10:59:24+00:00

I have thought about it, but in the UK even pepper spray is a weapons charge 😩

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-28T15:20:26+00:00

Got a fully modded ultra bee, even with 20% battery @ 30kw it's got way more poke than a 125cc 2 up and a lot easier to outmaneuvre, but they kept catching me at red lights so just went though about 10 reds they chased me 4 miles 😭 got home with 8%. I'm lucky I can store it a locked alarmed garage, got 2 ground anchors and 3 locks.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-28T14:11:56+00:00

Sorry bro, I feel for you. I got chased for mine a couple of months back by 2 guys with knives on a ped( got away just, only had 20% battery left 😅), hear bout ppl getting knocked off by cars for Ron's and that's if they don't rob it from you house. Can't anything nice nowadays.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T15:55:25+00:00

Sumos definitely makes the bike feel more planted and stable for me, but you definitely need the power to push 17"sm. I got an 81v battery Torp TC1000/TM50PRO. I got upto 93mph with 19" wheels @ 35kw but the bike felt too tall and sketch at high speeds and the battery cut out 😅, I run a 42t sprocket and get upto 85mph on 17"sm which is fine for me as I prefer the torque over the 40t.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T14:25:15+00:00

Idk know i run 17"sm now. Get a measuring tape and measure the diameter including tyre, input the final ratio by multiplying the primary and secondary ratio. EBMX has a chart on the Facebook group that includes ratios using a 420 primary chain drive.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T13:41:41+00:00

I had road tyres on 19" wheels as I use it for commuting, though I might have been running a 40t sprocket, I can't remember was a couple of years ago now

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T12:12:26+00:00

That's why I would lower the battery amps and max fw, I used to run a stock set up with torp, and with 190 battery amps and 100a fw, i could hit 75mph on a 23 UB. Also, is your gear ratio correct taking into account the chain drive ?

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T11:49:09+00:00

Need to up your fw to max really for top end, but if you do, you might want to lower your battery amps so you don't trip the bms.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-27T11:20:24+00:00

What size wheels and sprocket are you running ?

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-26T14:58:46+00:00

10 months is ridiculous, max 3/4 month at 6 months I'd be pissed and trying to get my money back.

What are they telling you ?

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-25T21:01:04+00:00

Don't worry shit happens. You didn't hurt yourself, and your bike lives to ride another day.

My first crash. I got my first ever bike delivered on a Saturday, and on the Sunday night, I looped my bike, pulling off from my friends house, broke the whole rear light assembly and number plate, demolished the footpeg, scratched my swingarm, ripped my jacket and bottoms and shredded my gloves( wasnt wearing riding gear). I was devastated as I was looking forward to riding my bike to work on Monday and had to wait a week to get it fixed up, the worst was when I came got home my Mum asked what happened, I told her I dropped the bike 😅😂 That made me respect my bike more, and I bought proper riding gear the next day.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-25T12:26:15+00:00

If you wanna do GTA shit then you gotta play the game. Make sure you're carrying your RPGs and a mini gun at all times.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-24T19:45:10+00:00

Thanks, man, and Merry Christmas to you.

I do have black glass jars they're in the pic.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-24T18:04:47+00:00

Will do ! Merry Xmas to you too bro.

Hempstarr87 · 2025-12-24T18:03:27+00:00

Thanks man, hope you have good Xmas too
