Re: someone wants to take the bike round the car park

Not in a million years. Even experienced riders struggle riding at low speeds in a confined space. Show him the clip from The Inbetweeners where Jay picks up a motorbike and crashes it. Tell him that's what you're worried about. Irony of irony, the dealership where that happened if the one ...

Re: Moving up to a bigger bike, advice needed.

I live in a city, and the number of English speakers is quite low. They do exist, but few are very proficient. Where I bought my current bike, nobody speaks English.

I'm mostly riding in the city, and on high speed roads. I do like to go out on the more bendy roads when I want to lean.

... sort out a test ride. I speak very little Chinese. Would be useful to know what kind of riding you mainly do? Are you in cities a lot of the time where good visibility would help. or out on the open roads where it's not so much of an issue. As to what to expect from a bigger bike, it's really ...

Re: Moving up to a bigger bike, advice needed.

Hi It depends where you are, what you use the bike for and what you want it for. Bigger bikes are easier to use for everyday riding as you don't have to do so much work to get it going. There's better acceleration and more grunt ...

Re: Broadband Speed Checker

... as I found out last week, this goes a little wrong and it puts a cap on your connection that is too restrictive. I was reduced down to 0.5mbps where as I should be running at over 10mbps. It might be worth a call to your service provider as they can get the cap reset and put the connection ...

Re: What would you do?

Yep, I have. In all honesty I don't mind taking my lid off. There's a large petrol station near where I work with pay at the pump. I use that because it's quick and I want to get home. I've always stuck my card in and got on with things, knowing I can be away quickly. A ...

That's the one I always use. Don't forget if you're testing it over wireless you'll get differing results depending what you're testing it on and where you are from the router.
