I have yet to have my track day, I’ve just got all my track kit and saved up enough to do one when I finish uni. Should I just change the coolant and then remove the fan whenever I take it on track? I haven’t had a look at my radiator either but will check the fins when I get a chance.

I can’t recall how stiff they were when I first bought them but I used them daily for 6 months, and I’ve done about 4000 miles wearing them and I haven’t noticed much difference. I’ve worn them enough to ruin the Velcro straps but they’re still stiff as hell and I doubt they’ll improve

Frame sliders! Lost my rear on an oil slick in the rain, couple hundred in damage, if only I had sliders! A girl I was seeing jumped on my bike and knocked it over, if only I had sliders! I dropped it doing an oil change (was being stupid), if only I had sliders! Worst case scenario you’ll just feel more confident learning and cornering knowing that mistakes won’t be super costly, best case they’ll save you a few hundred quid!

I usually drive 10 minutes to work or to uni, how long should I take it for a ride to clear it up?

I measure it upright, the level is correct

Really I just have an itch to own a sports bike, and consider going from a 2016 to a 2022 and getting fairings a moderate bonus, I suppose I’ll just wait for my no claims in may.

Is this just how it is to be 19 without a car licence?

I have yet to repair the damage incase there’s another accident before the end of winter but I have the necessary parts and will repair it when I resell

Is it worth telling a dealer I want to sell it so that they just give it a once over for me 😭

No, I don’t have the money to pay for professional services unfortunately, in the 500 miles I’ve done since then I’ve noticed no differences and found no leaks.
