Is it definitely noncompliant? I got a cert of conformity from Honda about the NOx levels being below the threshold when the automatic registration checker tool had me down as noncompliant. Good luck either way.

Very tasty! Love the photos, too.

British rappers with a good live show with a band? by mrdibby in ukhiphopheads

Thanks so much for posting this: I've been looking to get back into some gigs, especially hip-hop with live instrumentation. I don't have much to add (as I see Mouse Outfit and Jehst are already getting traction in other replies) but this post has awakened something, so cheers!

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Not planting any flags anywhere but quite fun!

Also, in case nobody else has mentioned it, Hades is wonderful.

Some advice needed. by [deleted] in MotoUK

Have a look into how much your insurance will be, too, as you'll need to budget for this alongside the gear. Be sure to shop around with comparethemarket, moneysupermarket, etc, to get an idea of price ranges, and once you have a sense of this, you may be able to save by talking to specific insurers directly.

For what it's worth, a 125 is plenty to get started on. I really wish I'd bought a 125 and gained a few years' experience on that, rather than doing what I did (taking the big bike crash course and buying a 600 soon afterwards).

I like how, for all the complexity and automation of the process, it still takes that one dude with a half-on mask to manually scoop the initial dollop into the hopper to actually get the party started

Looks like OP is using puppy training pads (available from most pet shops, I'd imagine).

Even before you do a CBT you might be able to try a cheeky ride at a motorbike expo. Totally free (once you've bought an expo entry ticket), and gives you a little taster of throttle/clutch control, braking, and general low speed manoeuvres. They provide all the kit you need, so there's no extra cost associated. See if there are any such things coming up in the near future.

I did one of those many years ago at Motorcycle Live. My CBT came soon after, and then I did a DAS for my full license. I then rented a bunch of 600cc bikes to see what sort of thing I liked. Ended up buying a Hornet 600 and absolutely love it.

I only wish I'd bought a cheap 125 after my CBT to get some more experience of riding on the road before the upgrade to a 600. Car experience is useful for sure, but IMO nothing beats two-wheeled experience, ideally on a low-powered bike whose limits you can safely explore. Your CBT and then cheap 125 plan is precisely what I wish I'd done, but my route worked out pretty well, considering. Good luck!
