    I did something a bit stupid today....

    The bike will likely be perfectly fine, They have rev limiters for that :) I know the feeling though, I went to pass someone and failed on my upshift, horrible noises, I was like crap! my gears :< but these things are built stronger than a little failed shift can break.

    UK Road tax

    Well it depends how much your time to fill out the old form and send back your tax disk was worth. I like it, it just removes work, you can buy tax online, I pay my tax now by direct debit so it just comes out each month and will continue to until I sell my bike.

    UK Road tax

    You get a automatic refund for the tax. When I sold a Car not long ago, the next week I got a cheque for the remaining tax. You only get if from the start of the next month, S0 if you sell a car on the 1st, you lose that months tax. But when you trade in a car for £350 and get £100 back...

    UK Road tax

    https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax ANPR is not everything, If your vehicle is not taxed and not declared SORN you will get an automatic fine of £80. Oh and don't use any car parks with camera's or petrol stations as the police have access to that information.

    Anyone Mounted a Go Pro on their MT07?

    https://youtu.be/L67ky6acyxA?t=3m35s I had mine on the windscreen till I dropped the bike and smashed the screen.

    Speedo Accuracy

    I find most speedo's are set to about 10% under. So that 33mph you did past the police car hidden around the blind corner clocks you at 30.

    Zard exhaust

    That's not a exhaust, Its a pack of mad dogs angry at every other bike for not being an MT-07

    Don't Buy a Yamaha

    With my last bike after getting a puncture. I bought a second hand set of wheels and tyres. Then when it came to swap, I just took the wheels off, put them in my car and got them sorted as loose wheels. If I got a puncture again I could put a spare wheel on and change the now spare wheels when...

    UK Insurance

    I'm 28 with 4 years no claims on this policy. Just checked back through my emails and the price I paid for TPTT was £141.59 I do live in the middle of nowhere though, And the bike is locked inside. Give it a few more years and you should have some nice cheap bike insurance. I never started...
