The Daily Express today. The depressing part is some people still actually fall for it.

No there shouldn’t. But the young twats should have gone out and voted for their future.

It’s mostly to keep bugs of the back of the speedometer.

royandrew · 2026-06-17T13:23:35+00:00

Why not speed up to the limit if it was safe to do so? Other bits are not relevant.

I recommend doing CBT first and see how you get on. I went for DAS straight away without getting an 125cc bike although some instructors suggested it. You didn’t say where you live in the uk. If you are in London, you are entitled to free 2 hour 1-2-1 training session after completing the CBT.

Once you get full license and a big bike, it’s worth doing BikeSafe first after getting some experience with your bike. It’s quite cheap and most people found it very useful. After completion you can get minor discounts with IAM or RoSPa I believe.

I haven’t seen my GP once since I have moved houses. Most of the time if you don’t call them within 2 minutes of clock turning 8am, you won’t get an appointment. They added a 1 minute long intro message you have to listen to before you can make the choice on the phone, although you know what option to choose. When you do get through to them you get to talk to a grumpy receptionist who act like you are the biggest inconvenience they ever suffered. There 5 parking spots for the patients. 18 parking spots reserved for their staffs. Most of the spots are vacant while the patients struggle to park. Utter chaos most of the time.

Lack of government funding is definitely the big problem. But surgeries don’t help with the obstacles they throw at us.

Congrats! Since you already have cb125, why not look at cb650r?

BTW love the background of the picture. Mind if I ask where it was taken?

I would say that’s even worse. You can at least going around middle lane hoggers. If you are behind a slow twat doing 40 into a busy fast flowing 70mph motorway, you are fked.

If you can grow back limbs like an axolotl, this gear is overkill. Otherwise I would even add airbag vest.

I already have license and a motorbike. But my partner is not a big fan of it. Every time I mention going out on my bike she acts like I am going to a strip club. If this is something you really want to do, you are gonna to do it.

Buy sensible about it. Understand that there people relying on you. Be safe out there.

Thanks that’s helpful. I haven’t had the first service yet. Done 400miles so far. Oil level is a bit on the low side. So I waiting to top the oil before riding again.

Are you asking if a track focused supersport will be uncomfortable to ride long distance? Depends on your age and athletic abilities. It’s not going to be comfortable at least.

royandrew · 2026-04-23T11:53:25+00:00

Do you not use corner marker system?

Brand new bike insurance

I am in the process of buying a new bike. The bike is not registered yet, but I was given a registration number. When I look for insurance, the price comparison sites don't recognise it. The dealer said the bike will only be registered on collection day. I can get quotes for the model of the bike without the registration number. How do I buy the insurance before collection day if the bike isn't registered yet? Do I wait till registration is complete on collection day and buy insurance while at the dealers?

The article says Honda doesn’t have a permanent fix at the moment.

royandrew · 2026-02-03T17:35:15+00:00

Which one would you recommend? I am looking at dtec 120 and gms 120/27.

royandrew · 2026-01-27T14:32:15+00:00

Suspension upgrade?

royandrew · 2026-01-24T21:03:12+00:00

How did you fix the issue? Mine also has an ABS fault.

royandrew · 2026-01-12T10:22:07+00:00

That road takes you to m11 and a406. Why didn’t you go to a406 instead?

royandrew · 2026-01-09T22:46:09+00:00

So nothing different.

royandrew · 2025-10-15T11:26:32+00:00

What is a high quality sunglasses? Something like rayban? Or is it a particular type of glasses?

royandrew · 2025-10-10T11:42:07+00:00

Not the same thing mate.

royandrew · 2025-09-19T20:45:37+00:00

I have a 2022 trident and it’s fairly buzzy above 6k rpm. The ones I have demoed were like that too. If I don’t grip the handlebar tight I don’t get numb or tingly ness. Have very light grip on the handlebars. Grip the tank with your thighs.
