I've got my bike booked in for an MOT this Saturday. I've just checked the weather, and there's a 40% chance of rain, so I've got 2 options:
1. Ride to and from the MOT garage in the rain.

Only a year late, but yeah... that was probably me! I was probably taking my girlfriend out somewhere to show her how many looks I get with the furry cover haha
I've paid him a deposit for the bike (500), and have said I will transport the remaining money to him a day or two before I go to pick it up. Unfortunately Im not free to pick it up for another...
Hi guys,
Viewed the bike on Saturday and it looked immaculate. I've now finished all the checks and they've all come back fine!
I've decided to go for it. I've been dreaming of this bike for 3...
Hi guys,
Many thanks for your help with tips for looking at new bikes. I went to see the bike yesterday and it looks immaculate - it looks like it was rolled out of the showroom and if the checks...
I'm really impressed that you remember my test ride!! It certainly stands out in my head as being one of the best days of last year :) Theres been some really great advice from everyone. I should be...
Hi Mitch, I've just checked out the checklist that you posted - thats a pretty comprehensive list! I'll probably print off a copy and take it with me to fill out.
Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely do all of the checks mentioned above, and thanks wheelers for some good tips!
I get that it's a lot of money to spend on a...
Hi Conehead - I sent you a message to your page on Facebook, but it would have gone to your 'other messages' folder :)
Hi guys,
In a couple of weeks I'll be going to look at a bike I'm interested in. It's a 2 hour drive away, so I want to make the most of my visit there.
I bought my first bike from a garage and...

I went there last year and thought it was great. There's hundreds, if not thousands, of bikes on the streets and a...
I'm wearing jeans in this photo because I was just nipping down the road to pick up my new helmet cover. 3 min ride there and back in 30mph zones, figured I could get away with not putting on the...

I saw some buddy handles for sale at the Mega Motorcycle Store in Swindon a month of two ago. Went in again the next week to buy some and they were sold out! I'll definitely get some ready for next...
I figured that this must be the best method! It hadn't occurred to me that she might use the riders pegs to hoist herself up. Good advice!
Has anyone got any horror stories about pillions getting...
Hi all,
I'm sure this has probably been mentioned in the forum before but I can't find the thread.
I'm getting a sportsbike next year (the S1000RR; I posted a review of my test ride a few...
When I went last year the bike parking was free, and I dont think you had to book. There were at least two seperate parking areas for bikes. Heres a photo of one:

I went to the Bike Shed event at tobacco dock in London last Saturday. There were some great bikes on show and there was a really cool atmosphere there the whole day. I took a load of photos that...

A quadcopter!? I've wanted one of those for ages but theyre super expensive. If you get one you're gonna have to invite me round for a go :)
One of the better quadcopter videos I've seen... (I've...
Cool videos, you can definitely tell that you're getting better at editing with each video! I enjoyed the variety of shots in the 3rd video.
Are you using the monopod holder wand for most of your...
As soon as I got off the bike my wrists were killing me, I hadn't realised whilst riding how much pressure I was putting on them! And when I woke up the next day I could barely move, my back was in...
