Hi,

To anyone who I forgot to mention in the original post, you've all been added.

I had a look, but couldn't find anything suitable. But cheers for the suggestion.

If your looking for an admin job see about applying to the home office, they always need people. Same for MI5, they need 1000 new staff and enough of those will be admin staff.


Cheers robby, I'll look into this for any possible jobs.

MI5 want you to have a degree, no matter what the job you are doing is - they only really take on graduates.

The last time I inquired this was true anyway.

Hi

Probably only from Oxford or Cambridge as well. They need the higher class of double agent from these places rather than normal agents from the standard universities.

All the best

Well you could always donate me the engine and see if it would fit in the goose with a few mods...

If you can kick start it... then I'll consider it Razz.

Probably won't be enough space for the kick start swing on the goose anyway... and it only makes a few more hp... though a fair bit better spread of torque I reckon Smile.

Do I count, from no bike to Fazer 600?? Confused Or would I have to count my pushbike as a former two wheel mode of transport.

I had a KH125 four years ago though... does that count? Wink

I read somewhere that they reckoned you shouldn't bother with the dr600 if you were under 13st, because you wouldn't be able to start it ... seems about right to me.

The best method seems to be to jump up and kick down as you come down.
If you don't have it at the right point it can just lock solid, which usually leads to you propelling yourself upwards and hurting your leg Smile.

My dad has a 2-stroke KTM Enduro 350cc, I am 12.5stone and I can stand on the kick starter and it won't go down.

To start it I have to put the lever out, and literally jump on it and hope it doesn't lock and throw me off somewhere.

Big high compression kick start bikes aren't the most practical things ever. Very Happy
