  1. I need to get new downpipes for the trusty CBR600F, they are rusting away and there is a hole (maybe more) which is getting progressively worse and makes the bike sound like a very close relation of a jet plane on take off.... So does anyone know if these are any good www.sandybikespares.co.uk/cbr-600-cbr60 ... -105-p.asp and if not what would you recommend?
  2. Going to give the bike a good clean - something that is well overdue. Also got the washing to do and the hosuework. The other half is off to the football. Who says romance is dead
  3. Got an 08 CBR600F and the headlight is supposed to be on permanent - it's twin headlight and the left hand one (if you're looking at it from the front) is the one that supposed to be always on, other comes on high beam only. Problem is that it keeps going off and high beam wont work then either. There isn't a fuse problem and the lamps themselves are fine. I took the connector out and cleaned it and it seemed to work for a while, then it started playing up again. Took it to the shop as I really hadn't a clue and they reckoned that they'd fixed it, 2 or 3 months later it's giving me grief again. It seems, in my limited knowledge of all things electrical, that the problem is stemming from somewhere near the start button - bear with me here... I turn the ignition on and sometimes the headlight comes on sometimes it doesn't, hit start and the light flickers, occassionally it stays on (bonus) mainly it goes back off. if I nudge the starter the headlight comes on and stays on. And basically on it stays all the way to work (16 miles, fast and slow roads, speed bumps, potholes the works) or wherever else I'm going. So any clues, shop I took it to originally said that it was a simple fault and that I was lucky as it could have needed a new something or other (OK vague I know but it's 2 or 3 months ago now) and it would cost around £500 - they still robbed me blind anyhow I reckon. There has to be a loose wire but how do i go about finding it and rectifying the problem?/
  4. Has to be Who Framed Roger Rabbit - loved that film
  5. Got myself a nice new lid (Shoei Beowulf) they even changed all the padding so tht it fits properly - I must have tried on every make there was and NOTHING fitted - all way too big so thank you Shoei for doing alternate padding. Also got a nice new pair if Sidi's - make a real change from the kids motocross boots I've been wearing for years. Food and drink was extortionate - but what a great way to spend Valentines day with the other half
  6. My other half Parked in a disabled bay when we were taking my mum out one day (she has the blue badge) and was subjected to a torrent of abuse from some old guy. When it was pointed out that my mum was registered disabled, had the relevant blue badge and we were entitled to park there he was less than happy. I asked for an apology but just got more abuse - some people......... On another note went to park in a bike bay one Sunday only to find 2 cars parked in it. Asked the traffic warden if he was going to book them as it was clearly marked motorcycles only and he said no it didn't count as it was Sunday. When I said I was going to park in the disabled bay he said he'd book me as I wasn't allowed and got really huffy when I told him that surely as it was Sunday it didn't count And before anybody has a go - I would NEVER use a disabled bay unless my mum was with me.
  7. Two of them today. First is the cyclist this evening who shot out of a one-way street the wrong way dressed all in black and with no lights, I narrowly missed the muppet and he proceded to shout abuse at ME...... Second was the British gas van who was on his phone and leaning toward the passenger side of his vehicle (guess he was looking for something) who veered across and almost hit me as I was waiting to turn right onto my drive after work.
  8. Definitely tea. Can't start a morning without a cuppa
  9. An RG125 reg C96HGN passed my test on that AND sold it for £50 more than I paid
  10. Biker cos that is what I am and Imp because I support Lincoln City (sad case i know) Though friends reckon I'm the same size and temperament as one of the little creatures
  11. Bit delayed I now, but thanks for the Birthday wishes. Only downside was not getting the bike out. Here's to another year of biking
  12. I work with a guy whose surname is Malwanker - seriously. And on the football at the minute is a player who's called Shattoff (though this may be with a v and not too F's)
  13. Wednesday for me as other half has a day off too. Also have an understanding biker boss
  14. Arai, as they are the only make that do one small enough to fit me and I can fit my glasses under....
  15. Way too early. Bloke at work is ALREADY playing christmas songs through our radio via his i-phone.... Sure christmas never started this early when we were kids...
