For fitting the socket it makes no difference as without something plugged into the socket it isnt a circuit. And as long as its not the type that has a light around the socket and you dont plan on leaving something plugged in permanently i wouldnt bother using a relay. When connecting a battery always the + side first to prevent a short if you touched a metal part of the bike with a screwdriver or spanner.

Im sure the insert in my BKS leathers is a forcefield one

DVLA quite often only remove certain catagories, often the loss of a lorry or bus entitlement doesnt include removal of a car or m/cycle entitlement. What they have done in this case is remove the ability to ride a large motorcycle restricting the rider to a smaller machine on a provisional licence which has further restrictions. The fact that a 125cc is currently being ridden on a full licence is irrelevant as the licence holder could ride a larger bike if they chose.

The onus is always on the driver/rider to only drive/ride when fit to do so regardless of which entitlements are on your licence. You know from the attacks you have you could lose control of your bike in that knowledge if you rode and something happened you will be the one in trouble. This is a decision you have to make dont expect DVLA to make it for you.

Youtube has some good basic editing functions i have Corel x5pro which is probably a bit ott for basic editing.

CBT's are not recorded on DVLA's database was their response when i asked they had no idea how many riders had completed a CBT

The footage can be used as evidence both for you and against. The laws which allow and/or prevent them from seizing equipment or what ever the footage is stored on is much more complex and in some cases it will be a judges decision as to wether or not yhe evidence is admissable.

From the symptoms you describe i would have to be brutaly honest and say i wouldnt want to share the road with you are you sure you could be in proper control of a vehicle during an attack? What really dissapoints me is the fact DVLA appear happy for you to ride a motorcycle at all.

The simple and uncomplicated answer is yes. before moving away from stationary consider a lifesaver on both sides.

"'88 Peter Bottomley the then Minister of Transport, wanted to have motorcyclists in reflective clothing, " Thats 16 years ago!!!!!!

Some insurers do require a bike to have cover in its own right to be covered under a 'other bike' extension this is because the 'other bike' extension only offers third party cover whilst riding so if you were to park up and get off the bike it would be uninsured. This isnt about reading small print or understanding legal terms this sort of thing is included in plain english in a policy booklet or similar it is essential you read it. If you dont understand it you must call your ins.co. Otherwise you are deemed yo have accepted the terms. I have used the recording of my phone call to get a policy at the price quoted after the ins.co changed their mind saying they had made a mistake.

In some areas MAG work very closely with local authorities and do achieve useful outcomes, they dont do this by protesting they do it by getting involved. I have invited the local group to sit around a table and talk about local issues and get no reply just an annual f.o.i. Request for information we already freely share. They generate hype and promote the feeling that bikers are victimised when that simply isnt true. Hi-viz. The French had a go no one has ever suggested it will be introduced in the UK the Dft's own study into why drivers dont see bikers found that hi-viz made little or no difference. Drain covers. Go google the stats highways arent fitting anti slip covers everywhere because slippery surface rates extremely low in the cause of motorcycle crashes.

If it touches the back wheel removing the border will only give you another 22mm of clearance is that really worth a £60 fine? You need to increase the rear preload wrongly adjusted suspension can seriously effect the bikes handling.

All bikes are smoother with an open throttle being adjusted to match the speed required compared to opening and closing the throttle for the same purpose. If you find yourself having to close and open the throttle for small adjustments in speed then you are in too higher gear. Try using 3000rpm as your bottom line unless of course your in 1st and need to go slower. You can still change up at around 5-6000rpm so thebike doesnt take off like a scolded cat you will find the bike alot smoother and more stable as you will not shift weight from back to front and destabalise the bike.

Make any adjustments so that the bike fits you and is comfortable and easy to operate. Then and only then consider you own technique. Trying to ride around an issue is a recipe for dissaster
