  1. Me. Nodded at a fellow biker from a distance, by the time I approached he nodded and I just rode past, hopefully he saw the 1-2 mile away nod *crawls into dark corner*
  2. I assume by course you mean DAS? First question I'd be asking is.. is now to soon?, not everyone's ready for a bike with more power as quick as they think or as tempting as it is, as long as your problem doesn't lye with the bike and controlling it then I'd put this aside. The balance issue you mention is something to work on with your slow moving control.. when I first started riding my 125 I couldn't help but put my foot down every time in stop start traffic now I feel like I'm performing a balancing act, it comes with time. Same with the looking down, I did this when first starting out.. just need to learn how the bike behaves in all different situations and then your confidence will grow, think less about the bike and more about what's going on in-front of you. Take the course at your own pace and just listen to what the instructor has to say, think before each part what controls you'll need and then set about doing them in the required combination to pass that part of the test, on my CBT i struggled with the simulation of approaching a junction and stopping so the examiner did the following; Accelerator Brake Clutch Downshift
  3. I remember it from a different post, similar conversation, fault pair possibly? From many reviews and personal experience this isn't the norm.
  4. I'd have to disagree, I've had both of the items mentioned in the OP for a few months and haven't had any issues or signs of leeks, commuting through the worst rain I've ridden in thus far this morning and held every last drop off. Warm, comfortable, solid protection, decent price and quality.. cannot go wrong. Only qualm is how finicky the thermal layer is to remove from the trousers, don't get much warm weather so not really an issue
  5. Note my above helmet, note my chinese 125.. can't be any more worlds apart than what my combination is Agree with the fact that if it was darker it would be better but has saved my bacon riding in the direction of the sun a couple of times, beats nothing but could be better.
  6. From the Revzilla review I watched there's more than just a sun visor change between the K3 and K3 SV, I'd have to re-watch to state the differences but i'm sure it's easily found. + Having owned the K3 SV I'd say the only annoying thing is the pinlock, it's not the maxi-vision and only covers half of the visor leaving a gap above and below, my pinlock can often need pushing up (just a little) after shutting my visor (re-open visor and push up) as the top of the pinlock can often be at such an awkward angle it is half in the eye of my eye line (doesn't happen all the time, but was annoying when I figured out that the pinlock was slipping down.. originally thought I'd put the helmet on at to low of an angle). The position of the chin vent switch is on the inside of the helmet (often meaning that I decide pre-ride weather the conditions render it needing to be open or not). The sun visor lever is easier to push down (bringing the sun visor out) that it is to push to lever up (bringing the sun visor up into the helmet) requires a little bit of a push to get it to retract into the helmet again (and some getting used to doing this). On the whole a good helmet and have plenty of compliments on how good it looks (I have the yellow rossi rep K3 SV).
  7. I had a brainwave (not many of them) that unlcipping it from the mount on the helmet directly is a whole bunch easier than re-screwing it, I don't mind about the size or how the mount sticks out (for now anyway), + from footage I've seen I prefered the 3+ to the drift (in general, no specific model). Used the camera today and no real extra hastle, apart form having to be aware that the cameras on the helmet when carrying it around and putting it down. I haven't had time to test the angle on the bike due to being ill over the past couple of days, returned from using it for the first time out on the roads (guessed the angle) and upon watching the recordings at home found that I did a great job of recording me controlling and sitting on the bike but got like 1-2 meters of footage of the actual road Adjusted it and hopefully i'll have some actual useable footage tomorrow
  8. That's a carburetor, the black pipe leads nowhere and hangs loose, it's used to drain the fuel tank hence the petrol leak. If you where to flip the picture of the carburetor over there would be a small flat-head screw at the bottom of the carbuertor (don't confuse it with air mixture screw or idol screw), tighten this up and it should stop leaking. Not to sure about the lever, the above is as far as my current knowledge goes. Similar picture from google, should help you locate the one you need to tighten (might not be in %100 same place but should be near enough). http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/attachments/62164/
  9. Chinese, mine was the z1000 hidden away in the corner, I just happened to of lost the keys
  10. The cager who decided he wanted to flip me off and get all angry inside his nice and warm car while traveling down a 40mph exposed A road in rain and crosswinds, even though he got angry as he was and just after he overtook me.. fair enough my 125 isn't the greatest at going down that road as many others undercut me but this guy was something else. Oh and not really a nob, well not a nob at all but a funny-ish story, went to argos to get the gopro and started talking to the redhead behind the counter.. after complenting my helmet (oh ah misses) I said thanks it cost an arm and a leg.. she came to the assumption that helmets with designs cost around 2k.. I went with it (thank god my chinese bike was stored away in a car park far away).
  11. Indeed, although sure as hell beats it getting knocked or scratched because someone at work "didn't notice it". time all tell.
  12. I have a feeling that I'm going to end up with a curved mount on the top and other side real soon and then end up debating witch one looks like the best angle. Added to the fact that I'm going to have to remove and re screw it after every commute to work, the fun and games begin
  13. Sorted. http://s4.postimg.org/7ar3rgmi5/IMG_2493.jpg http://s10.postimg.org/l5f2t8i61/IMG_2494.jpg Managed to just pull the flat one of the helmet (using a knife to wedge inbetween) so can probably guess how well it would of held up.. might be able to make use of it when I'm not ill, so close but so far. Cheers
  14. Gopro website says that allowing it to sit for 24 hours is advised but after an hour of being stuck on it feels secure enough, just a small gap around the outside probably just being to pessimistic about it
  15. Hi all, So i've just purchased a gopro and decided to mount it on the right hand side of the helmet, I seem to have used the flat mount instead of the curved one and just wondered if the pictures below show that there would be an issue if using when out on the roads, only reason I ask is because the middle is stuck down perfectly and securely but there's a gap all the way around on the edges apart from the top. The glue is so strong I doubt attempting to remove it will do any good, so all in all will it hold up using the flat mount (don't want to add another mount, one looks enough). http://s30.postimg.org/rzh0ixplt/IMG_2489.jpg http://s21.postimg.org/ni2dmjwfb/IMG_2490.jpg http://s22.postimg.org/lzw3yqku9/IMG_2491.jpg Thanks
