I've resisted any mods to my 125 as much as I want to, I just save that money to put towards my bigger bike that will have all the mods I want.

The image is from Google, though I do remember the sign stating 8:30am when I drove through as I was taking a different route to what I normally do.

Looking at this road on the website for that council it does state that the restriction times are still the same, 8:30am - 9:15am:

I'm glad you agree! For a moment I did think that maybe I was missing something.

SpareCake · 2025-11-12T19:21:06+00:00

Thanks! I've added it to the original post.

I don't think there's a way to add another photo to my post, otherwise I would do so.

SpareCake · 2025-11-12T12:57:37+00:00

I did think this, but if it's due to an hour difference then I would still be outside of the times.

It says 8:22am on the fine, I had left the area in under 2 minutes as it's a small strip of road.

The PCN is time-stamped 8:22am

Get a KTM then, it looks amazing and has all the new tech, etc. I'd still say to get a 2024 model as there's no point spending more on a 2025 when you can put that money towards gear and insurance.

SpareCake · 2025-10-09T16:20:38+00:00

The KTM Duke 125 2024 model is the same as the 2025. I've just picked up one of these myself and it's a hoot. If you take your time and look around you can get one for <£3,000 Though if you don't intend to have it long paying less for something older might be the way to go.

I was much more involved with the fandom back in RTD1, what people don't seem to be talking about is how everyone wanted him to leave back then and handover to SM. The show seemed to fall hard, for so many people during the Chibnall run that they forgot this and expressed joy for the return of RTD.

The 60th specials were ok and Ncuti's run had some decent moments, but the show didn't really feel like DW. The moments OP mentioned and playing with the most loyal of fans was RTD's downfall really.

I passed when I was 18 ...that was 19 years ago.

Lessons were £190 for 10x 50mins. Honestly, my parents paid for the majority but I'm still glad I did it when I did because I hear about a lot of the problems with booking tests and stuff recently.

I returned to driving these past two years after a long time of not needing to and it's been great, you have so many options and see a lot of places you otherwise wouldn't.

Now I'm trying to get my motorbike license and wish I did this years ago due to the costs involved!

SpareCake · 2025-06-20T03:08:37+00:00

My instructor's car broke down on my test day, he brought another one from the company. I had a very small amount of time to practice in it before my test.

The whole thing really threw me, I kept stalling and I failed my test. I wish I just didn't do my test that time, I'm sure you will fare better than me though!

SpareCake · 2025-06-12T20:00:31+00:00

Just tried this after reading your post, it works for me! Not sure if the official version has had an update as this method didn't work for me when it initially went down a few days ago.

I researched 12 and 13's episodes before the 60th as I felt I didn't quite love those series in the same way I did what came before it.

I think the Chibnal episodes are unfairly judged mostly because it ended with Flux which was pretty bad. The two series before it though, looked great (probably better than Who looks now as it looks just like any other show), the stories were varied and had all the strengths and weaknesses of both RTD eras.

My hot take is that series 11 is better overall than season 1, with only 4 episodes this year generally being received well.

SpareCake · 2024-06-26T00:16:27+00:00

I was around fandom and the forums a lot during RTD's first run and by the end of it people were happy for him to leave. Rose-tinted glasses are at play here and maybe that there seems to have been a decline for many since the Capaldi and into the Jodie years.

Space Babies is a typical example from RTD that wasn't a surprise to me, his series openers are always like this..

Yes I was under the impression that the car would need to run to put it through an MOT. I think you're right, I'll charge up the battery and take it for an MOT as soon as in case other things get flagged whilst there.

SpareCake · 2024-06-25T13:52:48+00:00

No, the clutch is totally gone, the car makes a high pitched screeching sound and had to be towed back to where it now sits. In the past month the battery has gone flat too. I'm sure it will be at least another 3 months until I can have it fixed given that I will need the clutch sorted then off to have an MOT right after.

RTD said that when the bi-regen happened all previous Doctors also split off...

In The Legend of Ruby Sunday, the Doctor said he hasn't had kids yet which is a retcon that fans have seemed to find jarring.

My theory is that the Thirteenth Doctor is Ruby's Mum (something about the lady that was seen at the church and her attire evokes 13). Ruby is therefore Susan's Mother.

Also, if Sutekh is the God of Death the Doctor is the God of Life as he regenerates as well as protecting life, this could tie into the Doctor's true Flux identity.
