He's left me with £200 in cash, his laptop, bike gear, keys for the bike. So he's probably got his wallet on him but not much else.

No credit card? This means no online spending spree :emo:

I'm going to ride Ugs soon :smile: We're going on an Easter Egg hunt.

He's on a vfr8 i think. He just knew who you were!

Oh sally's bike (she;s lovely i know her) it's being sold as 'she doesn't know if it works or not' so i'll list it at £1500 and if it doesn't start as the batteries flat it;s not her fault. And it's got scuffs and the MOT is about to run out. And as it's been off the road all winter the brakes might need to be unseized. price will increase if she puts the mot on it. And further down the bike starts

Hi guys, I haven't posted here before but I'm new to biking so could do with some advice.

Basically last night some knob decided to try and steal my YBR from my front garden, I found it this morning with the cover off and having been moved a few feet. They've snapped my steering lock and the ignition barrel is therefore now loose. Luckily I had a disc lock on which they can't have seen, although I wish they had as then they may not have broken my steering lock.

So anyway has this happened to anyone else and if so is it fixable and how much is it likely to set me back. Also is it safe to ride? I'm worried the ignition barrel is going to jam something or fall out :L
Many years ago, soneone did the same to my cbx550. I seem to remember that honda wanted a fortune for a new ignition. As the bike still ran ok, I never bothered to replace it. I rode it like that for nearly 10 years.

Phone is on, I'm in.

apparently he wants to come home, so i've stopped at little ones as thats near(ish) b'ham.


I need to find your address, lo wants me to meet him half way saturday as he doesn't like long riders alone , so fancy meeting him somewhere at 7:30?

BORIS- slightly scary when he knew who i was talking about... but at least you're memorable? :tongue: :biggrin:

Follow signs to Newcastle, then follow signs to airport. Keep going til you hit some traffic lights. Turn left. Turn right at school. So much easier than finding you XD

Depends where halfway is :tongue: Silly LO!

How energetic will you be feeling on Sat morning? aka am I leaving you in bed at 10am or do you want to come to jiu jitsu with me?

id stick a switch on instead, (and hide is somewhere not on show (like under the seat)).
oh and always use that disk lock.

and it agrees with my spending less on a bike to go touring idea.

(the one i posted yesterday was already at the higher end of my budget, with an MOT i imagine it'll go for 2k)

I can im broken remember! I like how we're now just using LO. Make sure i bring your fleece! I'm on earlies this week so home at 5 then leave, as hopefully i'll have packed, then to yours. No idea when i'll arrive, coming on the CBR by request even though i think he's agreed to take my brother back to b'ham the following saturday using it....

Last night was interesting, i should possibly limit who my brother is allowed to talk to...
