I prefer to go for something older that has been looked after, rather than something newer and abused/not cared for. The other thing is, them kill switch backfires! :D

The only thing that'll go on this blue one is a belly pan, it should get me through those 2 years and maybe longer? :)
 
The SV will easily last you 2 years, I'm still contemplating getting one as a second bike when I get a house with a double garage.
 
I can't believe what a nice day it is, just took the dog out, the air is crisp, it's not cold and there's no wind, shame I've got a cold and my arm is still sore from my tattoo... :(

You got a tattoo? Any vids from first rides? I remember you had a gopro :p

P.s. Bought a car, I might buy a bike today too. The dodgy looks from neighbours will comeback haha :p
 
This is how I've mine mounted, mounts are some cheap chinese mounts from Gearbest. :p

You can't transport anything on the bike, you can only transport one person on a bike and you've to provide them some safety gear. The bikes doesn't have heating and there's still 3 months intill I can take my test. I need a transport badly, public transport sucks... lol

I'll still have a bike, and a car for the money I wanted to spend just on a bike. :p

Edit: 8 seconds vs 14-16 seconds on a 125 +you can't go on motorways. :p

Took a walk up my local bike shop and picked up some chain lube and sdoc100 gel cleaner, so will give that a try next weekend. That's the first time I've had the energy to go outside since Friday :( screw you cold!

They had an MT07 in there in the new grey colour with luminous yellow wheels, it does look pretty damn nice :D Also looking at the KTM 1190 adventure and other stuff reminds me that I really need to start test riding a lot of bikes come summer...

I can carry over 100l of stuff on the bike, I can carry the grand total of no one else which suits me fine I don't like people, I have heated kit, but yes public transport does suck and I'll stop being a **** now :D
 
Anyone get calls from companies claiming that you're entitled to money after a non-fault accident. I've told them I wasn't injured and it was sorted last year but they keep calling claiming that money has been put aside for my discomfort. Is this legit?

Random company phoning you offering you free money, does it sound legit?

It'll just be a no win no fee place hoping to get a bite.
 
Everyone gets those calls even if they haven't ever had an accident! Same as the PPI calls, ignore them, put your telephone numbers on the TPS thing and they'll stop eventually.

Still slower than a bike :p and not just any bike, my £1500 400cc 50bhp bike :D

I actually don't think I'd ever buy a car for performance now, unless it was a ferrari/lambo etc - bikes are just better :D

A bite of what though?:confused:

They keep wanting me to claim I suffered discomfort.

Shall we do 0-100? Reasonably sure it'd beat you up to that.

I'll just use the R6 :p
