well that IS interesting, as you could’ve done any number of mods since it left the factory. First i’ve heard of it. Honda appear to be the most helpful in this matter. Post 03 Hondas incur no extra fees. That link i provided includes a form specific to Hondas btw. So you’re on the TfL database and...

if you have a Honda you can contact them direct and they will give you the information to show if your bike is compliant for free.
It is quite simple.

I think other motorcycles are similar.

There are a few lists on line to check your model against.

When I first drove a car I would breathe in to fit through a gap and lean forward to go up a hill.

I find modern bikes all rather pointed (like an over bred Siamese cat.. with angles and spikes in all directions)

I wish that Kawasaki could do a toned down green version

Yellow bikes are my least fav

And i do quite like the orange ones - especially the black with a hint of orange up thread!

I was eying up a Ninja 400 (as a first big bike) how do you work out if the lean is right - and why do they have to be that manky green colour?!

Succeeded in getting people attention - which I think is the main aim.

I went on a 1-2-1 bike ride today. Initially I was nervous - then slowly I relaxed. I made 'one error' - where I was not 'left enough' on a turn ( I realised I was in a driver position when the instructor pulled up next to me and said' this is why you should be further over!! And I missed one life s...

You want to try finding the blackcurrant stuff, I can't stand the normal stuff, rarer than hens teeth it is, bloody Thatcher. TBH you'd be as well with 2 Sudafed tabs and a hot Ribena. (Same with the lemon one, squeeze a lemon, add honey and hot water, drop 2 Sudafeds). For the most part the hot dr...

If there are genuinely spelling mistakes to deal with as well my pedantry will just explode.

The home alone one is spelt right - its the most famous person from those films.

I'm fairly certain he's real.

You have a good point there... the quiz is driving me nuts - 74/80 as it stands!

Got 2 that should be correct but aren’t, for instance why isn’t the nimbus 2000 Daniel Radcliffe????

Because he is fictional.. whereas if you think laterally .. JK may help you out!

I often get them to deliver to a local shop - The other week my EVRI delivery failed ... it was to a TESCO's that is open from 6am - 12pm.. apparently they attempted to deliver at 8, 10, and 1.40.. as delivery had failed they 'returned' to sender.. I asked the supplier - HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.. they ...

So what is the old school way of stopping? I was taught - to 'feel the lemon - squeeze the lemon on the front break - whilst - slowly adding in back brake - and only touch the clutch - when you don't want to stall - I stopped a treat with no help from the machine I'm pretty confident about speed for...

Day 3- Road ride was OK a few learning points, but - on the whole good - even in heavy traffic - with people acting like 'nutters' - (I guy going the wrong way down a 1 way road) .. another cutting into the 3 of us riding (so between me and the second learner.. getting beeped at by our instructor - ...

Interesting... Yamaha made the Fazer

Sorry my mistake it was a Honda CBR600F-6. I wrongly assumed the 'f' stood for 'Fazer'.. still new to all these bike names. (I think the bike before might have been a Fazer).

I did this for a Honda 600 Fazer and it took less than a week to be added to TFL. The whole process was free.

Day 2 - Today I was fine with most of the elements - until I thought too much about it - The U turn is still horrid - but I have improved on yesterday - not sure how it will go tomorrow - I will have to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Going to try to take my mind off tonight and just watch E...

Day 1 - So was practicing Mod 1 - stuff on the big bike. I could do the slow maneuver -was ok on slalom and figure 8.. no matter I how I try (and the more I try) the less I use the REVS, or look in the right direction - I just can't do that U turn.. I'm certainly in my head about that - sigh On to f...

Most of them seem to have CCTV or huge locked gates.

I've been to IKEA, I know it's a budget place but it's as if they actively try to give a poor experience. They have a huge car park but close half of it so people are fighting over spaces, it went downhill from there. Recently I have been using the IKEA carpark to practice figure of 8's and u turns...
