  1. Ouch, yeah that was lucky, well I use my bike everyday, love using it so, small price to pay I guess, I'll be phoning my local Honda shop tomorrow.
  2. Yep that's exactly it. If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you to get it fixed?
  3. Hi. I have had this happened twice now. Honda cbf 125 Scenario is: Sat in a long que, (Not comfortable filtering yet) bike is working it's little a** off about 5-10 mins down the road this is now at normal road speeds 30-40 mph the bike starts losing power, i ease of the throttle bike then decides to gain power jolting my forward, then loses power then gains power and it does this until I pull over or the bike just cuts out. whist losing and gaining power when adding more throttle the engine makes a popping noise instead of the normal sound it tends to make. The current fix seems to be turning the bike off and leaving it for 5-10 minuets. then it seems to run fine. but it's frankly scary when your going 40 mph car up your back side and you lose all power and start to rapidly slow down. has anyone had this issue with a Honda CBF 125 *10 plate or know of this issue? P.s almost forgot it cuts out when in Neutral too.
  4. Thanks, Most the roads I like to go out on for a ride are along the cost where the wind tends to be stronger due to the lack of shelter, the other day I cut the ride short and went home, just didn't feel comfortable riding in it. seemed to be blowing the bike a lot of course I try to ride sort of the middle of the lane but I was getting pushed into on coming traffic and was like " f**k this"
  5. And no not the type that comes out of your back end Last two days have been really windy went out for a ride yesterday and my little 125 was getting blown all over the place, is there a limit to the wind speed you will ride in? Any tips for riding in strong winds? I found the wind kept catching the back end of the bike making the bike feel really unstable. Almost as if the bike was going to slide out from underneath me.
  6. Hey yeah that sounds good. I have my theory booked on the 10th so just doing a lot of preparing for that and then I'll be booking to do the A2 Licence.
  7. Hey looking for someone to meet up go on bike rides with (Currently riding a 125cc) Don't mind if you're on a bigger or smaller bike. Willing to travel to meet, Don't mind going to Hythe, Dymchurch, Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Deal, Ramsgate etc. *Anywhere I can get to without going on a Motorway basically XD* I'm out and about most days (Just not weekends due to work)
  8. First, you need to understand that any training undertaken before a compulsory test is all about how to pass that test & NOT about how to ride a motorcycle. Second, you need to understand that your level of exciteability is statistically linked to your life expectantcy. The more 'excited' you are about passing this test then the more likely you are to be dead next weekend. Third, you should sit down & really think hard about why you want to pass this test. If there's still a lot that you unsure of then I feel you are far from ready. Well aren't you a barrel of fun... You managed to give a reply totally out of topic of the kind of reply I was looking for. None of what you said was actually help full and a lot of people get excited for three mod 1 and 2.
  9. But this comes with 15 custom Stickers!!! not 13 not 14. But 15 custom stickers!!!
  10. Hey. So excited got my Theory booked for the 10th, I'm trying to practice as much as possible (doing online tests is that enough?) After that it's my a2 but as excited as I am I feel it could be too soon? only really been riding for 2-3 weeks and threes a lot im still unsure off. On the road I can do just enough to get me by. Part for the a2 is a ride from Folkestone to herne Bay my furthist ride so far has been Folkestone to Hythe 5-6 miles at most. what can I do to better prepare my self?
  11. Hey. I am looking for a cheapish Mobile Phone holder *Waterproof* that will fit the Iphone 6 (Small version of the Iphone) and will fit on a Honda CBF 125CC. Only other requirement is a way to be able to plug headphones into it (if possible) What do you guys recommend?
  12. Hey I'm 22 ans I have a CBT and a Honda CBF 125 cc my insurance I pay monthly and it's about £50 a month. (This is with it being my 1st vehicle etc so I thought it isn't too bad)
  13. And that's what happened to me when I came off. Wasen't exactly a sharp corner it was my 1st corner at about 50mph probably slightly to fast for the corner. and I panicked. Instead of counter steering I tried to brake as much as possible to try and slow me down because i had made up my mind that i had no way to recover from this so to just try and slow down as much as possible or stop. I feel if i had counter steered and leaned more into the turn I probably would have made it round. been a bit shocken up after but would have been okay. Still trying to work out what gear for what corner I never seem to go above 3rd gear
  14. Thanks guys I'm back to riding my bike to and from work again now and I have re-gained a lot of my confidence today. I'm finding a few things a lot easier with the "counter" steering method. turns that you can easily get round at about 30-40mph i was finding my self slowing right down to take them, Yeah i may have felt safe when going round the corner but it was just an accident waiting to happen. but with counter steering I get round them fine. I am trying to make it so counter steering is both a reflex thing and something i will do when i think about it too. lane control just most control when moving is easier with counter steering. it's one of those until your on the bike and try it, it doesn't make much sense.Once you have tried it your like oh i understand now lol.
