About Time I Got Stuck In!

[Northern Biker]

Hello all,
Long time lurker
Gleaned some very good advice from this forum in the past, and as I'm now progressing nicely with acquiring my full licence I thought it was time to register and join in with the biking community.

Hello.
Do you ride a bike at the mo? Tell us about it

I can recommend you a product for cleaning your visor in the rain?

jokes aside, what are you riding at the moment, you seem to have similar terrible timing in taking your lessons/tests as me for deepest darkest winter

Ayup I've been rumbled I tell thee!
Originally from Yorkshire, now living in't Northwest (I'll be the guy carrying a Whippet under my arm )
Recently passed CBT and theory, decided to buy a very cheap 125 to gain road experience as the weather is closing in now so probably not the best time of year to be doing a DAS course, might wait until next year now but see how things go.

Welcome, fellow northerner.

Aye, you're probably best sticking with your 125 until the weather improves. Road conditions are not favourable at this time of year and you wouldn't want to be sliding down the road and damaging your new pride and joy.

If you use your bike for commuting, you may want to consider keeping hold of the tiddler to use as a winter hack. An option that I wish I had when riding to work this morning. I think I prayed to every known diety and even some unknown ones while riding through hail covered roads first thing. Thankfully, it worked. My sphincter was exceptionally tight though.

Oh, the fun we have. Sure, a cheap 125 over the winter makes sense. If you want to keep the rust monster at bay, ACF-50 does a decent job. Keeping Astraman from pulling out on you is a bit trickier, but I go with adding strips of LED lights plus the SMIDSY weave.

I have changed most of the bulbs for LED's apart from the Stop/Tail bulb because I can't find one that's bright enough.
Most of the LED stop/tail bulbs on the market simply don't have a sufficient Lumen output compared to the filament bulbs.
If anyone has any tried and tested suggestions I would be grateful
I do have a Hi/Lo HID kit on order though which I hope should improve things somewhat.
