  1. If it was me I wouldn't dwell too much on it. Think of your mum then the first thing that reminds you of her. If you over think it will end up being something random.
  2. So Looks like we're going to another war in Iraq, another war against "terrorists" another war started by religious fanatics/lunes. However this time there more aggressive, radical, nasty. I've read that there are more grown on home soil too. I'm a little confused by all of this.... We're going into their homeland to enforce our beliefs yet when they enforce theirs here we do nothing, protests at soldiers funerals, burning our bible, street marches saying we're going to hell, street preachers saying were infidels, paying to keep suspected terrorists and providing protection for them in this country..... Something doesn't smell right... God help us if there is attacks, all our troops trained and focused on the middle eastern countries. Maybe it's time for defense? Use more spies to crack these terror rings, use more technology to find them in our boarders, use education and a big right foot to stop them going abroad to be brainwashed and trained into soldiers...
  3. I remember when I used to play rugby and the foam padding you get in shin pads used to go mouldy. Horrendous smell what you could smell after even when it wasn't there. Must be enough to put you off your game with you constantly inhaling it.
  4. Ripoff Britain strikes again. Another way to make money off the working-class motorists. I guess there not happy with the 50% or more tax they already get from people.
  5. I can't see how this is going to create a reduction in untaxed uninsured vehicles? Both are already collated on national databases which means the police can already pull up this information. I'm sure they can currently utilize anpr camera s to recognize vehicles being used illegally. What would happen if for example a registration is cloned on a vehicle of the same make and colour? The police see the car parked up without a tax disc and this then currently prompts them to do more investigation..or do criminals copy a tax disc with the info to?. With the new system this wouldn't apply so less cars being caught? Anpr can't recognize vehicle make/model and I would think some police would struggle so say you had one vehicle all legit but use the plates on others?
  6. My point isn't that you/me will only be out of pocket by a few quid but more the fact that the gvmt are sneaking in another way to rob us. If everyone doesn't mind losing a few quid I'd happily provide my pay pal to x amount of people.... Don't you think they get enough of our money already to scrape some more from us? It's plain wrong that they are profiting from this, if it's 1p or a million.
  7. I've just been reading about the new rules coming in October and what thieving scumbags they are. They introduce a "showroom" tax meaning they get twice or more the amount of tax on new vehicles in 2010. And now this supposedly better paperless tax robs us even more. The basic jist of it is that when you sell a vehicle then the tax cannot be carried over to the new owner, they refund you any "full months" remaining. So basically if you have 1 month x days then the x days you paid for in full will be stolen from you. Multiply this by x vehicles being bought/sold and I can see them stealing a fair few quid. This is on top of the new owner having to pay tax on the spot. If you fail to declare the new owner you could be fined £1000. And what say do we have in this? Just really annoying that we get ripped off so much these days by our government introducing stealth taxes right under our noses. It will be interesting to see how this will effect high tax vehicles and how much revenue will be made by this con. So thank you government for shafting the working people once again, thanks for taking most of the money I earn. Oh and thanks for providing a absolutely brilliant service to us all (still trying to figure out what that is apart from trying to steal more from us). I hope you enjoy your inflated bonuses and make the most out of your "expenses" claims. Maybe it's time to wipe the slate clean and 're do the whole government thing....

    I can't see how they could sue as these are perfectly legal to use. If you modified one however.....
  9. If you can't get it checked then replace it. Why risk it?
  10. Well it's cleethorpes bike night at the pier and also another bike night at a garden center near market rasen with a bbq. Anyone else going? I'll be going between the two
  11. To be able to mimic any noise perfectly like that guy off police academy. Could have some right fun.
  12. Ok soI finally passed second attempt. First attempt: Had a two hour lesson the day before which involved a mix of some test routes and general pottering around. Made some silly mistakes but nothing serious. Just mainly being over cautious at junctions and round abouts etc. Test day comes and mines the second one in the afternoon and were taken in pairs. Got to the school and first test guy goes in front of the instructor with me following behind to the test centre. First guy goes off to do his test so me and instructor go for a ride. This is where it goes wrong. Set off and instructor gets caught up at a roundabout swhere I carry on down the duel carriage way and turn off to where I thought we were going. I don't hear the instructor so pull over and wait. And wait... And wait.... Just fuzz on the radio, then I hear a village name so decided to head there to wait... And wait.... Eventually headed back to the center and the instructor was there. Turns out we went in complete different directions. Anyway get ready for test, paperwork etc then show tell questions all fine. Set off and very nervous which probably made me a little over cautious. Anyway do the route and head back. Going through a industrial estate and there is a lorry backing into a yad blocking the road. One car waiting on my side, a lorry a lot further back (probably 3 lorry lengths) and a left indicator. I assume it was parked (no movement and miles back) so overtake and wait behind the car. Examiner comes over the radio "stop and pull up". Just assume at this point he wants to do a stop start. Then I hear "why did you overtake the lorry he was waiting in the cue" anyhow got back to the test center and all fine apart from one major fault for overtaken lorry. Told that lorry could have moved cutting me off from merging back into my lane. Absolutely gutted as it was literally round the corner from test center. Anyway got back to the school and told to ring for test dates. Told none available for a couple of months? Now weeks I could understand but months... Anyway let the fumes settle for a couple of days then ring back, still no news. At this point contemplating doing it on my own bike, renting one etc etc anyway rang another local school and told they have loads of availableity, however was a slightly different bike. Anyway rather than wait for ages decided to book a test with them. At this point it would probably have been sensible to have a lesson before booking to see how I get on with a different bike but due to work etc this wasn't possible. Test 2: Turn up at different training school get sorted etc then out to the bike. Quite a bit taller, different brakes, slightly different geometry, different gears. Anyway set off to the test centre and no problems, decided to go to a nearby cafe first. Had a drink then it's time to go to the test centre. Nerves hit like a brick wall. Got to the center and instructor says just pull up infront of the examiners bike. So I turn, bike goes into neutral instead of first, stearing full lock and of course a slow lay down of the bike.... Great start. Anyway go for a cig to calm down a little. Then same routine show tell etc same examiner. Get out on the road and the radio is playing up badly. Luckily it was the same test route but at first I Didnt know that. Came to some lights and no instruction so get in lane to go straight ahead. Get stopped and the examiner is going mad because I was in the wrong lane and should have gone right turn. Anyway no traffic about so move into correct lane. Further on in the test and the instructions getting worse. I pull up and point to my helmet to let the examiner know. Then I hear "that's no good, if there is a problem with the radio get off your bike and come talk to me" so I do and say that it's breaking up badly. "is it ok now" well Yeh im stood right next to you it's gonna be. Anyway seen as it was the same route I decide to carry on. By this point really nervous due to, the drop, the radio, the different bike and the test. Anyway get back to the test center and "congratulations you've passed" what so I passed on a totaly different bike in relatively high pressure situation.... Then gives me some minors for hesitancy... Not supprised but don't care at this point I passed. So overall not a very nice experience, could have gone a lot smoother but hey, I've passed, it doesn't matter now. So tips to anyone thinking about/doing training or test:- Find out how often test dates are normally available, Don't think you have to do everything with one school, If you fail don't worry don't argue just accept it and do it again, Nerves effect everyone in different ways and if you can do a few mock tests, And most importantly don't give up, it seems to take an age at times but it's nothing compared to how long you will have your license for. Good luck!
  13. Anyone know what was going on earlier in n.e.lincs? Saw about 20 bike cops around, sometimes in convoy up to 10. Also saw a few fire engines blues nd twos. Hardly normally see them around.
  14. Are the hex head cap heads metric or imperial? If you feel them starting to round then STOP. Also don't use cheap nasty Allen keys, these are likely to be filed to a random size by a troll under a bridge and made of cheese. If the cap head is stuck fast you can drill the head off/use easy outs etc. I wouldn't attack with a hammer and chisel as it's too easy to slip and scratch or bend something. Try spraying penetrating spray on what you wana remove and leave it 15 mins. Be careful with it around plastic and rubber and paint as it may damage/discolore these.
  15. Just noticed your Sig. I'm doing my lessons on a er6n
