..and turned right!

Good day. Smile

A mate followed me there. Gave good advice on stuff like lifesavers and not panicking.

3 Advisories: Pitted front disc - not too bad though.
Missing a doobry wotsit from the exhaust but he sorted it.
Rear bushes. (What's a rear bush?)

The lights on the varadero have always been particularly shite. They were pointed so low that they were almost shining backwards.

Have enrolled in motor-mechanics evening class.

Well done MCW for getting there, Little minor things on the bike are OK.

I got my wheel balanced on Saturday and it made no difference to the slight wobble it has.

Well make your own thread about it. Some people make threads about dogs shitting, but that is ok as it is part of a forum with loads of people. What have you done that is interesting? Or not interesting but starts a conversation with others?

OK, so the bike is working and the job situation is sorted. Now find yourself an instructor you get on with and Go. Take. Lessons.

Some people, e.g. Rogerborg, can learn by themselves. I couldn't, and it looks like you can't either. So get yourself the help you need. And this should be your #1 priority, not maintenance classes. Tut Tut

And I'd seriously suggest you put this kind of post in New Bikers if you want any sort of sensible reply... Confused

Yes, because where it is posted makes all the difference. Just like the "Baby on Board" stickers in cars alters the way I drive.

FWIW, we all know that BCF kinda self-moderates.

If some-one is being boring, constantly posting shit etc etc then a few members will point that out.

The rest will say nothing just incase someone gets offended.

Sorry mate but you are being the boring one this time. And a few of us have expressed it too.

Why don't we just wait here for a while... see what happens.
