My Kawasaki is the same, and my KTM. And my Kawasaki has an alarm.

Tom, you're absolutely right about the discount thing, but it's not just Taunton, it's a company policy and head office monitor it closely, we even have to make staff purchases through head office! On a positive note though, our prices are normally very competitive especially on our own brand cloth...

HG are tight as foook on discount! Is that all HG's or just Taunton?

Rub the rear brake, and keep the power on gently.

However it usually happens so quick that just accelerating out of it gently works for me.

We are being robbed, and arguing it only gets you deeper in the sheeeeit.

I know someone that argueed his case and ended up with double the points and a much bigger fine.

Its now easier to take it on the chin and mutter "robbing b'stards" as you recieve your penalty.

I read a sticker on the back of a lorry once, it said 'If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you' What a good point, so I always try and make sure I can see lorry mirrors when following them. It is a good point, but its the same for vans as well, or anything witha solid rear door, even mine with...

Thats me fudged, I could never wheelie a push bike for more than 2 pedals

I spoke to someone who can wheelie the other day, and his only advice was to ALWAYS cover the rear brake and get use to using it, i.e even if your not worried, back brake it to get the front back down so that you are confident to use it IF you ever need.

Hes never flipped a wheelie, touch wood!

Its probably adminstration fee.
Still exceedingly annoying!

I can/use to be able to surf, still have a board just no wetsuit etc.

Dont need a numberplate light for an MOT ;)
