Slightly later leaving work, so back home at 20.30.

Dark and I haven't even been on my summer jollies yet.:rolleyes:

Still to come...wind, leaves, rain, cold, snow and more dark.

I still wouldn't swap it for the feckin' train though.;):) ]]> Bike Chat Ibbo http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23675-winter-drawers.html Help! http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23672-help.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:13:53 GMT It's p**sing it down with rain, and Nemo has left me outside :( He didn't even put the cover on the bike!

I haven't been riding long... there are many things I don't know about and maybe i wasn't listening during my course... but wtf?!
Any clue why would a sane person ride with both flashing indicators on through traffic? ]]> Bike Chat Sanzaburo http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23667-heavy-traffic-madness.html BritainsgotBIKEtalent http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23665-britainsgotbiketalent.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:05:09 GMT Britain's Got Biking Talent 2011

I simply ride one for the thrill of 2 wheels, you look cooler, it's much cheaper to run than a car and there is no other 'free' feeling in the world which is quite the same :)

That said I passed my big bike test today,... I was a bit reluctant to mention I was taking my test following the picking up of my big bike fiasco.

That said I passed my big bike test today, it wasn't the best of rides on my part I must say and The roads near the Birmingham test centre aren't the best. When finishing the test the examiner was speaking to me about every fault I made for about 5 mins, I was actually convinced after about 3 mins through the test I'd failed and was just waiting for him to clarify it. However, he didn't and instead said "you'll be happy to hear you've passed" and then explained that if he'd said "you've passed" initially I wouldnt have listened to his comments on my ride.

I'm now taxing and swapping insurance to the XJ600 and will be out and about within the next few hours I hope! ]]> Bike Chat ugly http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23655-big-bike-test-passed.html motorbike sat nav http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23654-motorbike-sat-nav.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:13:23 GMT can anybody recommend a cheap one please? having a problem with maps going through towns, sat nav seems to be the answer, if I could just find one... can anybody recommend a cheap one please?

Back taxed, insured and MoT'd and on the road again. It was great to see the old boy (K reg 1993 XJ400 Jap import) going again. Took him out for a quick 6 mile fuel and brake check yesterday and then for a quick trip to the MFI car park today for some slow riding practice with Serenity. :rolleyes:

But what happened next? I am sure she will be along shortly to explain how a 10 minutes round the car park ride turned into a near 90 mile detour.... ]]> Bike Chat RoadRash http://www.bikerforum.co.uk/forums/bike-chat/23612-dennis-rides-again.html
