Now I'm presuming that you are paying someone £25 to load all the stuff on that is free of charge if I did it myself?

But the attraction is it will all work out of the box and according to the blurb, it's self updating so I shouldnt have to cock about, just plug it in and watch. Or is it too good to be true, because if it was, for £60 I'd give it a try.

Honestly mate, its not worth paying £25 to have the stuff installed. it can be installed as per the earlier videos in this thread within 10 minutes and it will update itself as well if you do that!

it is really very simple to do if you follow one of the many guides available.

Im a shortarse as well. 5'7" and just under 29" inside leg. Im a bit heavier though and so the bike sits lower with me on. I manage fine on the thou, and have done the R6 shock with Lukes dog bones which is fine too. I tend to lean it slightly to the left and get one solid foot down though

I think cyclists should really have some sort of basic insurance requirement and I dont see what sort of bearing the combined weight of cyclist + bike have on the matter either? A "100Kg cyclist+ bike" still has the ability to cause a lot of damage, not only directly through them colliding with another vehicle, but also by their actions directly causing an accident invlving multiple vehicles and then the scope of the damage becomes more apparent.

VED is a no-go though I would have thought as its based on emissions now? unless its a brussel sprout fuelled post-christmas ride, the emissions ought to be fairly low

Insirance for all road users if nothing else ought to make everyone who uses the roads a bit more accountable for their actions.

look forward to hearing the results of this - the orangey halogen bulbs do my tits in on my bike - even moreso since I cant furn the foccers off!

Hi Red :wave:

I've just bought myself a new telly 3 weeks ago (I cashed in on this "black friday" malarkey). Most of the guys have mentioned the main points: refresh rate is key for gaming, the more Hz the better as this is what smooths movement out during fast gaming (same also applies if your watching a lot of footy etc).

if you can get a 4k for what your wanting to spend then go for it as it will somewhat futureproof the TV too. mines has got smart TV functionality which i thought was a bit of a gimmick, but ive already found myself sticking youtube on through it to stick music on a few times

size wise just go for whatever seems the best deal, I had a 50" in mind initially, but because of the deals at the time I ended up with 58" because all the other features I wanted were there and the price was good, so dont limit yourself too much to size, just focus on the resolution and refresh rate (i.e. the quality) and the rest will be what it is.

John Lewis do a 5 year warranty on all their TV's and have a price match service... worth bearing this in mind as most TV's only come with a 2 year warranty out the box

Costco (if you have one local and have a card/know someone) also do the 5 year warranty on TV's at no extra cost.

Woohoo!

be delighted to see it return.

The ad thing looking like posts is annoying but that can be turned off completely at a forum level.

Aye it's an app which can let you get onto most forums you are on without having to log in every time etc. I wouldn't try to get on here at the minute though as logging on here through the app is disabled at the minute.

Double post should be sorted now robbo. Aegis is still looking into it

I have a roku which is the same sort of idea and you need to go into each of them individually. I would imagine the now tv box and all the other ones with "apps" are the same.

I knew someone would mention salt in the washing up liquid, when I was a poor apprentice still living at home  my RD250 would get washed every week for two years with whatever washing up liquid I found  in my mums kitchen, never did it any harm.
I think you would have to leave your bike soaking in neat washing up liquid for years for any effect to be noticed.

The leaving in on is not the problem. The fairy liquid itself is just a degreaser. The problem lies in the salt when it is rubbed over the paint. The salt is harder than the paint surface and so it causes micro abrasions and marring on the paint surface which affect the finish.

That being said, the best product in the world will do exactly the same thing when coupled with a poor wash technique. For many marring and swirls are an inevitability.

The colour of the paint has an effect as well as swirls and marring don't show up much on silver or white paint, but show up a lot on black paint.

This is a car I did a while ago which had been being washed with a poor wash method and using fairy liquid:



The sun is showing the swirls pretty clearly.

And the same car after having the swirls corrected via machine polishing:



Being honest though, most people don't even look to that sort of level and yes, it's pretty anal to the n'th degree. If swirls don't bother you then fairy liquid is no problem - it does strip wax off though so if you want your wax to last I would use something less aggressive.

I use turtle wax wash j wax from Costco - its £15 for 25 litres and does the job. Polishing I use a few things depending on what I want to do and I use collinite 476s for my waxing.

I'll save ya a hunt:
