    @blink have you not set up any payment system on your mobile? Beauty of bikes is that you can fill up for less than £30 so should always be good for contactless payment.

    As my bank won't issue a 2nd debit card I tend to use the phone for payment when out as I don't take my usual wallet with me.

    Removed the airbox on the MT to measure the OE brake lines to be replaced with braided ones.

    Agree. I went 25 on my 2011 and filled with only 1 litre spare. I wanted to test the limits, but it'd be a hard push if I got caught out too far from a servo!:)

    No, the tripmeter starts flashing. I use 'Trip A' for fuel. Easier for you to check the manual than for me to go into detail here. A simple process though, with only the one button.

    im gona have my rant now because its bugging me

    I know im not the fastest rider, and slow down in bends more than i need to

    this morning, i was riding into chesterfield, from Ambergate, and doing fifty odd in a fifty zone, checked behind as usual and im being followed by a red fiat big 500 thing at a reasonable distance.

    few moments later and he is properly close, straddling the white line, drops back, catches up again, and this goes on the entirity of the country road of several miles.

    on the A61, its wide and speed limit varies, I always manage the limit on here, and he is behind me still, crossing the double white lines, stop at a few traffic lights, and i turn to look at him and he deliberately turns away like he cant see me, then eventually i go to turn right into mcdonalds in Chesterfield and as he passes me, he blasts his horn.

    Half the time, i was in traffic with him, i could have filtered and overtaken, but im not terribly confident in that, and i was just having a gentle ride.

    I just dont know what his problem is, there was literally nothing he could have gained by passing me because of the traffic, morning rush hour.


    anyway, these things bother me, but i did stay nice and calm all the way but when he honked, if i was able to stop him, id have dragged him over his bonnet and beaten him with his tyre iron


    just to cap it off, turning right onto my drive, moved to the centre of the road, and a civic squeezes past me brushing me





    other than that, i still love every moment of it, even did some evasive manoeuvre earlier when,what can only be described as 'cousin it' dashed across the road in front of me, cant believe i didnt hit it, it must have touched the front wheel, but I remained upright, and now i know braking hard doesnt mean instant death


    sorry for ranting/moaning but dickheads upset me, on the other hand, when i ride, i remain grinning about it for the rest of the day. Its definitely good for my health :D

    The joys of commuting times mate, it’s a battle field everyday where the twats in cages need to be told, not the place or time for the faint hearted lol
