First Bike Thread #4534

They didn't provide a jacket of any kind?

 

It can be done for a fair bit less, I reckon about £300 - £350 for
helmet, textile jacket, gloves, boots and waterproofs

 

sweller says...

Agreed. You can get some pretty good all weather kit and a quality lid
for that much.

 

Why not the unfaired? I had a faired and always wished I'd got the
unfaired.

 

I haven't got a clue what you're on about.

There again I live in Hove, actually.

 

I think Hove should be renamed "Hove Actually"

I was in Hove today. Where can I claim my prize?

 

I think we did about 60 miles together today. You're a good pillion,
don't wriggle about too much. I even managed to do a couple of proper
U-Turns without issue and you didn't fall off, even on the twisties.

Did you notice that 'we' set off a couple of forward facing speed
cameras on our journey?

Oh, if you see those women at the zebra crossing, do apologise to them
for me.

 

Not "Hove Actually"? So much for that idea, then.

 

<fx: resigned sigh, rolls eyes>

 

As any fule knos, it's West Islington-by-Sea anyway.

 

I didn't want to disappoint, so I held on like a motherbitch. I have
ripling forearms now, thank you.

I didn't, no. But the 'red light' camera into Brighton should have
gone off when you sped through the red, but I was looking at it as we
crossed the line and it didn't go.

Nick, when you die, try not to do so too noisily. And if you could avoid
a large insurance claim against you we'd all be very grateful.

I'd hardly call that light 'red' it was more 'post amber'

Every day I try to avoid passing on the cost of riding to my insurance
company.

 

They changed the steering geometry slightly. It's horrible.
