O dear Mini man didnt you do any filiming in town?? tut tut! ;) Ihabe't watched it ye but will do tomorrow ok! Rob :- :)

Yeah I've had mine for about 3 weeks now! They seem real good but I keep re grinding my rim, and my brake is full of air due to a broken TPA, :- Going to borrow a mates lever and bleed it proper! Well they grip real well and are proper good when set up right! They do give a solid fell on the lever, maybe could be a bit better! The thing is Steve tried to match the rubber of the very first green pads that he made which prawn had and then sold them straight to me for a fiver! The best fiver I have EVER spent! They lasted soooo long and you couldn't get them to budge! To give an example of how good they were, Bigman was pretty much jumping on my pedal trying to get them to move and they just wouldn't! I think he would of actually snapped my bb off before they moved! These green pads were really soft but lasted ages! The good news is that Steve has requested that I send these greens back so he can match the exact compound. Good news for Steve and us pad testers is that I sent them off this morning so things should be looking up! Rob :)

Ah rite smart! Think im going to have to get the old slr out, there good fun! Big downside though with getting your photos printed and that though! Yeah i've got a Fujifilm S5500 as well, great camera!!!! I joined yesterday, seems good but a little confusing! Just for reference my user names "impega" (i think) Couldn't think of a name so I just nicked it off of a permenant marker! lol Rob :-

Hey Adds been lookin at your photos and there REALLY good!! Love the sport ones espically the motorbike ones! :) Great style. What camera have you got? I'm guessing some sort of SLR! On that webite do people comment on your work etc, I may think of joining! Rob :) :unsure:

HAHAHAH simple people, excellent!! Well I think i've come to the decision that im not going to get a photo but get just a ipod 20Gb for £165! Ok cash is short but if I save and sell a few things I think it'll be ok! Thanks for all your help Nick, you've really helped me and saved me money in a way! Sorry to Joe for maybe getting his hopes up but I just dont want this little gay headphone problem to get in the way! Cheers Rob :) :P

HAHAH 87!! :)

63, thought that was quite far :"> Edit 82 :) :P Nearly got you Phil

Bumpage! Can Tomm or Nick please answer my questions! Thanks guys! Rob

oh my god I've been missing out!!! Tis fookin funny as hell! How many gay people in there?? :) That black Derrik guy does my bonce in!! For that matter, all of them do my head in espically Mary and that gay ass Craiiiiiggg! That argument last nite was well funny! The only normal one is Maxwell and that sam! Anyway its on in 10 mins! WOOOOOO :P (god im sad)

But theres only 6-7 months left on it! What happens if this little occurrence happens after that then! I'm fooked then arnt I?? Rob

Thanks alot nick you little angel :) Yes I am at college full time so I can get them cheaper! Yeah that is the shop that I went on! Well I would ask mum and dad for £100 but I already owe them about £700 for motorbike insurance! <_< grrrrrrrrrrrr Well the options are as follows: Joes Zen which I really want for £85 Ipod mini for £109 Ipod 20GB for £165 Ipod 30Gb for £195 When I get paid in about 3 weeks time I will have £200 but I gotta give mum and dad some of that (about 50,) need general money for petrol, food, credit etc! God I just don't know what to do!?? What would you do????????? Also whats the sort of warranty on ipods? I've heard there pretty good from what you and others have said but is there like a 1 year warranty on them and if it brakes after that can I still get it fixed unlike the zens!?? Thanks Rob

Cheers Nick that was really handy!! But now im in a real dilema!!!! Do I buy Joes basically new Zen for £85 or save up for yonks and get one of those ipod photo jobbys! The thing is, 30GB is a fair bit! Also Nick could you give me the link to this shop thing as I dont think I can find it! <_< Cheers Rob Edit! Actually I think i've found it, is that £195 for 30Gb photo but thats excluding VAT, so with that added it comes to £225 or somein!?? Also about this problem with the zens!?? Is it a common problem with them and is it likely to happen! Plus if it happens after the warrenty has run out then im fooked! I really want to buy Joes zen and I think I will but im gonna be right pi**ed off it that happens! Plus it's only what I can afford! Rob

Not really, as I pay £650 for a 600 but that is third party only! Ring carol nash, there the cheapest!

OOOOOOOO this is lookin like a rite turn out!! I REALLY wanna come but depends on Steves decision! If so I will be bringin me camera! :) Really wanna cum and meet everyone! Will be a great oppertunity! Rob <_<

No they cant tell if the restrictors have been taken out just by sound or by looking at it! The only way they can tell is if they take it apart which isn't going to happen as it takes time, money and effort. When I got stopped for speeding the other day, the copper said he was a bike rider himself but still he couldn't work out what a gear indicator was and he said "are you sure you can ride this 600 at 17" :rolleyes: haha course I can u fool! My mate with the R6 got stopped for his numberplate the other day and the copper just said is this bike restricted and he just said yeah i've got the certificate at home, even though he'd taken them out himself! Yes I suppose you could put them back in for the M.O.T. Only if you do it yourself really as it's expensive to get done, if you've ever seen restrictors then there just little white plastic spacers really which limit air flow! I had to pay £150 for mine which is a total rip off for what they are! Cheers Rob :D

Isnt that basically what i said!?? :rolleyes: Anyway, even if you get a 400cc it's still going to need to be restricted!

UMMM what do you mean? I did my CBT at 16 then at 17 the restricted test! If you havent done a CBT then you could do it when your 17 as well! If your 16 now you could do it now, it just dosent matter really! Just the sooner you do your full test the sooner you can have a proper unrestricted bike! :rolleyes: Rob Hope i've answered your question

Two big washer type things in the carbs, easy to do and easy to take out! My mate bought an R6 and of course it wasn't restricted, so then about a month later decided to get it restricted just to get the restricion certificate! Then the morning after he took them out in his garage, took about 4 hours I think. If any copper stops you and says it is restricted? then just say yeah i've got the certificate to prove it, there never going to take it all apart and check. I was going to get a zxr 400 but to be fair you may as well get a 600! Think about it, most 600's are a lot better lookin and more modern and when the two years are up, if you want to change your bike then you wont have to as a 600 unrestricted is going to a completly different bike anyway! Like my local dealer said, if you want to go to europe on a 600 then you can but on a 400 its a bit more :rolleyes: (cant think of the word) Get a 600! :S

Yeah like people have already said: 16= 50cc 17= anything restricted to 33BHP Although I say anything, you wouldn't want anything over a 600cc really as it starts to get pointless! I've got a CBR 600 and it's restricted to 33bhp! I went from doing my CBT, riding a 50 and the did my full restricted test soon as I hit 17! I had two lessons at £35 each, the final test £50 and the theroy test and about £20 i think. So you may as well do it as it's alot cheaper than a car test and lets face it, a hell of a lot more fun! Even a 600 restricted to 33bhp will go like sh*t and beat pretty much most cars on acceleration and i've had 110mph outta mine! Also in 2 years time when I hit 19 I can ride any bike unrestricted as long as I can afford insurance! Doing this test is so good and has many advantages! Go do it now mate, go for it! Rob :rolleyes: :D

Yeah good idea! This can be closed now as im buying Joes Zen! Cheers Rob :rolleyes: :D P.S Zen are bringing out a range of new players, a 1Gb, a 6GB and maybe a 7Gb as well! Most importantly they are bringing out a new one which looks EXACTLY the same as the micro but is slightly bigger and of 20GB capacity!

I always use www.metoffice.co.uk Very easy and accurate!
