someone wants to take the bike round the car park

There is a new lad on my team at work, he says he used to ride a 250 back in India but that was 6 years ago. He keeps bugging me to let him take the CBR600rr round the car park. I've said no as he isn't insured (although in a private car park you technically don't need to ...

Re: Going Bareback

Naked are great fun. They've really come on over the last few years. You get sportsbike perforance from them now. The only time you miss the fairings is when you're doing silly speeds. 120mph was about as much as I could take on the speed triple. Some will ...

Re: Removing tyres

Fwiw I fit my own tyres. I do have my own bead breaker (now) but for years I coped without one. If you are going to remove them yourself, a couple of tips : Warm them first. Warm tyres are far easier to work on when warm. If you can get away with storing them ...

Re: Scrubbing in Tyres

The 100 mile rule has been around for years. It's supposed to be enough time for the release agents on the tyres to be worked off the surface. I think most tyre companies use a different release agent or none at all so you don't need to scrub ...

I feel for the guy, but surly people who study for a minimum of 7 years might have a rough idea on what they are saying. If it was really that bad and you thought there was no where you could get with the NHS then you would have paid to have a private consultation..

Wouldn't you ???
