  1. Drought didn't happen over night, rain can't fix it over night.
  2. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h272/kmck10/295070_10151526198045162_785825161_23951199_1469017393_n.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h272/kmck10/309962_10151526199660162_785825161_23951207_1272625939_n.jpg
  3. Was great to put faces to names (or summat like that) was a really good day riding
  4. That's good video footage, what camera are you using?
  5. I would second all of what you've said (though I think they look pretty cool in a weird way!) it's a shame they don't have armour as everything else about them is almost perfect. I bought these second hand on ebay for £12 to replace my Spada Enforcer which leaked, were a bit too bulky and were a little long in the thumb for me (guys gloves on girls hands was never going to be the best fit!)
  6. Times like those I'm glad I have a decent phone For Wye Valley, you need to go to Tintern Abbey for the tag, say's that on your sub standard phone
  7. Buccleuch Arms http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h272/kmck10/beuclleuch.jpg The Green Tea Room (has the tiniest sign and very little parking but TC can vouch that I was there ) http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h272/kmck10/greentea.jpg Railway Inn http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h272/kmck10/railwayinn.jpg
  8. I wanted the Daytona Ladystar for a bit of extra height but I couldn't get the arch of my foot into them, literally couldn't get my foot in! Was very much the ugly sister in the Cinderella story I ended up with boys TCX Competitizone (or summat like that) they fit fine though I struggle the get the zip over the over the ankle when I have my leathers on under them ETA: Check out this blog all about ladies gear! http://gearchic.com/
  9. Did an enhanced rider scheme yesterday and thought I'd give a brief write up on it. I did my DAS at the end of last year and got myself a CBR600F. I'm a fairly confident rider, I have gradually been learning how my bike handles and how far I can take it with speed and corners etc. I decided to do the ERS with the same guy I did my DAS with (City School of Motorcycling Edinburgh) he's quite a frank type of character, tell it like it is with no sugar coating and I like that from a trainer. We were out from 9 - 5 stopping for breaks to discuss what we had just done and what we were going to do next. I learned so much in the such a short space of time it was incredible! By the end of the day I was confidently assessing corners and leaning my bike over accordingly. There were 2 students on the course, initially I was a little disappointed as I had hoped for one on one trained (though that wasn't promised) but it worked out quite well as you could sit at the back and process what you had learned while the other rider was assessed. I'm now really looking forward to summer and getting out for a proper blast on my bike. I'm no longer worried about going out with other bikers and cramping their style by not being able to keep up! Don't get my wrong, I'm not going to go crazy, I know it takes time and miles to build up skills but I have a much better idea what to do to get myself out of trouble. I just need to practise til it becomes second nature! Anyway, I would recommend it for anyone who has recently passed or feels they could do with more confidence on the bike. It's amazing what you can learn being assessed by a pro, I didn't realise I sit a little bit squint on my bike which means I have an odd tendency to take left corners faster and smoother than the right ones, but we had that sorted by the end of the day and my arse is now squarely in the middle of the seat
  10. It definitely doesn't have too much in it, currently sitting a little below half way between max and min. Going to get the fairing off today hopefully and have a look, see if it's anything obvious! Thanks for all the replies
  11. I've noticed a little light yellow/green fluid on the hut floor when the bike has been stored for a few days, does that sound like coolant leaking out the bottom? Would it be easy to find the leak or worth just flushing the whole system?
  12. Sing to yourself, no one can hear what goes on in your helmet!
  13. That's what losers say Just assume you're invisible, though that doesn't mean you get away with riding in the nude! WRONG, It's what people who can ride a bike properly say You're right it was a joke, I forgot you aren't allowed to be funny on this forum, won't happen again.
