Indeed! Had ride out (hundreds attended) last year around certain areas of Bristol to give indication to thieves of our distaste (?) for their activities and to message the police that they should sort it or we would! Have upgraded security and try not to think about it.

G'day Jamie.
 Thanks for the intro. Enjoy the forum.
You now have a flag. I usually wait for a first post as many join and still stay quiet.

 Hiya BJ-   *welcome*.....I rode along a Clevedon/Cleveden St. yesterday doing a blockie to collect some stuff.....nowhre near you though


   The day I went to secure the CTP Insurance to re-register my el-Plungo, pulled into the parking lot of the center where the office is on my Gutzzli, and a Pleece car pulled in beside me and the lady driving leaned over and after asking me 'where are my indicators' , when 'satisfied'-but not convinced it didn't need them, next question was "which side is my brake pedal ?"  *eek*.....I know I'd just been riding it but still had to think about it...and now do every time I ride either... *conf2*

Thanks Musky. It's a great forum and everyone is really friendly. A real bonus for BSA owners, wish it had existed back in the 80's when i first started trying to fix my A10. All the damage i did crawling around in the dark with no money and incorrect tools makes me wince now. It may take me a while to post anything as i imagine my questions have already been answered by a previous post. Your A7 looks the bee's knees. Hi duTch i also struggle with brakes and gears as i ride a BMW on occasion (did i say that out loud)?

 Beeemwhat?... *eek*   Yup it's not just the left and right, it's the up and down too- funny enough, I was 18 when I taught myself to ride on an otherwise unused little Hoonda CL90 (?)- you know like Wayne Gardners first bike  *smile*, and then had the Tr-Tr-500 Daytona while re-building  *work*(choke/cough) my Road Rocket, and never had a problem with either of those feet.....that I can (conveniently) recall... *conf*
