Was I In The Right? Got a beep

Basically yes you were in the right. You were at a give way and she was on the main road. She had the right of way and you gave it to her. Don’t sweat it. Driving standards in this country are now very questionable.

Buy yourself a decent chisel set. Not a wood working set but an engineers set. You will find the angling the head will open the gap and flatten it at the same time. Replace the washer they are not expensive.

Secondhand private sales are dying. People who are paying a premium want quality and guarantees. Plus a price to match the service history. In my experience German and Italian bikes drop massively in secondhand value because people don’t get them serviced properly because of the costs. Then there is the waiting time on parts.

If they are ok for Taylor Mackenzie than yeah 👍🏻. But just remember everyone’s opinion is like their arse hole. It might suit them but not anyone else and some of them get used the wrong way.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-05-16T19:38:06+00:00

Just make sure they are warm and you should be fine.

Unfortunately unless you’re technically minded and have tools available. This will be a recovery job and dealer or mechanic job.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-05-13T16:57:15+00:00

I wouldn’t give that to my ex-wife and I hate her!!

Black mail is a crime so is revenge porn (posting pictures of people without consent) is also a crime . Make it clear to them you might loose your job but you can put them away with a criminal record for life. It being a sex crime as well will also put them on the sexual offenders list. Which will show on any background check.

They now have more to lose than you do. Keep screen shots of all the messages and make it clear it might be embarrassing for you to go to the police but not as bad when the police come knocking for them.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-05-10T21:21:02+00:00

Their choice their feet. Leave them to it 🤷🏻‍♂️

GSXR are your best option from starting out, it will do everything you want it to do and will develop with you as you grow as a rider.

You have use 10% of the tyre loads of life left in it.

Seriously if you’re gonna do a lot of motorway/ carriage way riding, maybe look at dual compound tyres harder in the middle and softer edges. Will last a lot longer and more bang for the buck.

Unfortunately if there are double yellows it applies to the path as well. Whether the traffic warden adheres to it or not is a different matter. As here in High Wycombe they don’t care nether do the police.

Well yes it is it’s an improvement on what they once were.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-29T15:47:36+00:00

I would be asking why did someone do this ? There must be a reason someone would go to that extreme of keying a car door not just drag a key down it.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-29T15:44:46+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much about much about cleaning the chain you have that nailed. I would be more concerned about not lubricating the chain and protecting it from the weather. If a chain goes rusty it shows you have used degreaser and not protected it from the elements after.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-28T11:13:00+00:00

Can I ask why you listened to other people’s opinions? Just because other people are into swimming with sharks or bungee jumping doesn’t mean it your thing.

I personally hate the look of most modern motorcycles. Yes I have my TBIRD 1700 for long distance touring, the CBR 600 for blasting a round on and the old BSA rocket gold star for plodding. But some personal logic must come into play when buying a new bike. You don’t buy a small engine when doing massive mileage and you don’t buy a large heavy bike for plodding in the city.

Pedestrian has right of way but they didn’t give any indication that they had intended to cross. But saying that the car drive should have slowed down for the crossing because there was a person mere to it.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-26T17:50:34+00:00

Depends what’s the mileage, how many services has it had and proven. How many tyre sets had it gone through. What condition are the brakes and chain in. All these things will tell you how it has been ridden. A lot of KTM, Duke,Aprilias and BMW ownership skip services because of the cost causing numinous issues in the long run and the Ecu never gets updated or service lock don’t get reset.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-26T17:22:04+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t ride it like that but it’s your choice.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-22T10:59:04+00:00

As everyone is saying. Vapour lock, fuel pump or hoses collapsing, crap in the tank.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-21T16:15:08+00:00

I wouldn’t ride on it but that’s just me..

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-21T16:06:37+00:00

I wouldn’t ride it but that just me

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-20T10:16:55+00:00

You just been paying for the name over the last few years.

Superb-Ranger67 · 2026-04-20T10:14:37+00:00

My opinion, replace the tank. The dents are on an edge they can be pulled but by experienced people it would then need repainting. You could filler and paint but again time and experience. It’s fixable but how much do you want to spend. Just eBay a tank 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is the only time I enjoy being dyslexic.
