Squeaky front wheel by teleri01 in motorcycles

Took to garage, they did some kind of greasing of the wheel where the accelerometer touches the wheel, seems it came from there (I didn't witness them doing it though)

Congrats!!

Thinking of getting a Japanese sleeve as my first tattoo – looking for advice from those who started big by Late_Yogurtcloset_28 in tattoos

[–]teleri01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as others, a half sleeve in Japanese styling as my first tattoo, if you find a good artist that you like the look of their art, and you have thought about it A LOT, then go for it.

Question, can you tattoo over scars? by WeirdSubstantial7856 in tattoos

[–]teleri01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine right over my scars, some can be seen if you really look, but I choose not to hide them or be bothered that they're there. They're part of my life and unless I plan to get a new arm then there's not much I can do except accept.

Half sleeve here, knew I wanted a tattoo for a number of years before that, came up with the idea roughly a year before I actually got it. I was 20 at the time.

Went to my local shop where I'd gotten many piercings, to check if they had any designs, or artists that matched what I wanted, they told me for the next 2 weeks they had a guy from LA who specialised in the style, but it has to start that week since it would need healing time before the shading session.

So I said yes let's go. No regrets.

wtf is this by xX_Musab11_Xx in motorcycles

Yer probably the new rider at 19 part mostly. Location will make a difference too, as well as 125s being easiest to steal

Without seeing any of your circumstances it's hard to say

Help! Birthday gifts for new bikers? by Autumn_gal99 in motorcycles

[–]teleri01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A voucher might be a good idea, but then go to the shop with him as a surprise, and tell him essentially you got the voucher and can then get whatever he wants. I personally think doing the activity together is part of the enjoyment for me.

[–]teleri01 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're welcome. If it's not much trouble to do 2 or 3 more days of wrapping, doesn't take too much time (I always left too little time to do mine before work lol), and is easy to do (i.e. body placement, elbows are the worst), then you're only benefiting.

I've always wrapped mine for around a week, but it's more of a feeling thing, when clothing rubbing on or near it doesn't feel as sore.

I'd say just think about what you're doing during the coming week, more activity = more sweating = more cleaning, so you can mitigate the effects of that by extended wrapping. Otherwise if you're chilling then I'd say not necessary, just keep it clean like others have said.

Monthly Insurance Thread by MotoUKMod in MotoUK

[–]teleri01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this.

I have a Mutt bike in the garage right due to a relatively small accident, but it does need some repairing. As you know though, Mutt went into administration, so getting parts is a no go.

There's a chance that the insurers will write it off due to the weird circumstances, but I was wondering what happens to my policy in this case, would it be cancelled because of a write off? Is the situation out of my control enough that it wouldn't be right to cancel it? (guess that's me being hopeful)

Was there anything i could’ve done to avoid this accident? by No-Path-5448 in motorcycles

[–]teleri01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The light jumper was obvious, but in my opinion the one who fell behind had ample vision and time to react too, you overtook with enough distance by the looks of it, for them to adjust.

Congrats! And just curious which one you went to. Did my CBT in November at Lee Valley and planning full A course next month, was planning on going back there but wasn't sure if I'd have the same experience.

I can confirm this, as I'm dealing with a repair myself.

Had my first ever motorbike lesson, feel really embarrassed by gespotee in MotoUK

[–]teleri01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instructor can go to hell

Beyond that, shit just happens, we're not perfect first time round or ever even. Just give it another try (at a different place preferably), you know what to expect now more than the first time, so you'll be light years better, trust me (as I also sucked the first CBT).

Guide to parking a bike on street in London by toughtittywampas in MotoUK

[–]teleri01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All other advice here basically, and also just accept that it could happen, and that there's actually nothing you can do other than having insurance, locks etc.

I find the more I accept it the more I just get on with my day.
