Me three. I cannot get funding to do ANY courses and I'm a law abiding citizen IN THE TRADE!!
Fuming isn't the word. If I owned the company providing the training I'd tell them to pi** off

Haven't ridden my CBR600F ABS since I picked up my new panda 16 days ago
For £1,800 I could have a VTR for the dry and a TDM for the wet/snow/mud but I got this...
...instead.
The good old wasted day of waiting for the phone to ring...
It's not even for my car..but finally convinced other half that maybe having concave brake discs and gears you can only select with a hammer is not brilliant...that and hopefully the horns getting fixed too so you know if the brakes did fail she could warn people now...

Wow and I thought £700 was a lot for my Diamond back contra 2012 which I pay for under the cycle to work scheme at £10 per week. Shame as I have only ridden it 6 times.
Call me a bit thick but how would people using rear fogs help you as a cyclist? Would have thought the chances of you rear ending someone at speed were pretty slim.
The fog has set in here today over the fell as per in Autumn/Winter and did see a fair few people running round on sides only while I was running headlamps and front fogs. I only tend to run the rear one if I'm running on my own or can't clearly see the car behind as there's nowt worse than running in nose to tail traffic on a foggy day having your retinas scorched by the lights of the car in front.
Stops someone swerving into him on his bike at they avoid someone they've seen at the last min? Lol.
Im the same regarding rear fog lamp, I I can see the car behind fairly well I turn it off. Front fog are only used at night as they're only designed to light up the side of the road so fog in the day it's pointless using them.
.......so complain about £2.46 but spend £1800 on a push bike???:bang:
On minimum wage that's 5 weeks you won't get back

Had a suicidal pigeon earlier.......
Wherever it survived or not I don't know, but I do know it scared the crap out of me! And left a right mess on the car (passenger door) Cleaned it all off, as it flew into the side of the car knocking my wing mirror in loads of fluids all over the door, by looks of it nuts of some sort oh and a big chunk of feathers......All of this took place at good ol 35mph (40mph limit area, before people think I was speeding!)
First time this has ever happened to me :bang:

I don't think DEFRA will allow it anyway.
Insurance is a chore. Like tax, paying seven times what Petrol's worth at the pumps and othet things you have to begrudgingly fork out for.
Even commuting isn't a chore on my bike and despite the initial outlay, service and consumable items cost, batteries for my lights, alarm, lock, weather gear, tracker and £80 insurance my bike only owes me 20p per mile.
The money I've saved in fuel and not going to the gym has more than paid for it.
Just opened a cupboard door and a full bottle of white vinegar falls to the slate kitchen floor bounces I attempt to catch it I fail it then smashes upon its second impact on the floor and now the kitchen reeks :banghead:
that's acid, if slate is sealed clean with milk before the acid eats through the sealant.
Cheers Dave mate I had this shouted at me as it happened and as she walked out of the kitchen!
Now I am out of milk for my breakfast in the morning! The last hour isnt going well for me lol

About the same as my Bravo then in running costs (with the exclusion of purchase price).
TBH I prefer the comfort, but then do a 50 mile around trip a day so cycling isn't really an option
