you thought of gettin a pin lock for ya visor m8 to stop ya visor foggin up

[curlyblakeybiker]

@7jonokelly7 it was only fogging up because having even the slightest bit of visor open was resulting in facial icing, which is never nice, but i'll look into it! thanks for the suggestion :)

[7jonokelly7]

@curlyblakeybiker no worrys m8 i only thought of it because i fitted mine last week for the same reason as you

[ZezHD]

Hey, i was planning to do my Motorbike test during march/April time, will i be affected by these changes? thanks.

[curlyblakeybiker]

@ZezHD if you do do it then and pass you'll come under the current system, you need to take it before january 2013 because that is when the new system will come into effect. Hope that helps, basically, do it asap!

[ZezHD]

@curlyblakeybiker Hehe thanks for the information, thats just what i wanted to hear, no faffing around doing 4 tests just to get a big bike. I should be looking for a bandit aswell as my first bike! mainly due to it being cheap on the insurance hehe. thanks again.

[Darkzy43]

@curlyblakeybiker im hopefully gunna get my premium bonds cashed and some extra money purely to do my test this year.. should have done last year really but funds didn't allow .. only just remember premium bonds :( lol

[2wheelsteve]

[7hunted]

[KarterBoy10]

[KarterBoy10]

Oh my god your videos are so goooooood

[GingeRbiker82]

Just works! Tune! ;)

[gogosor]

Good music choice, I have similar saddle bags on my Bandit, Oxford sport X50, did 4000km around France with them, all Oxford kit is great :)

We already have the new license laws, based on your age, start on a 50cc, then 125cc, then more jazz to get the full big bike license.

[curlyblakeybiker]

@gogosor how has that affected new riders? still many about? might be a good video for you there :P

[cowtipper84]

I really hope I can get my test done soon.

[91brows]

Looks like I'm going to have to book my test for the spring then, these new rules are ridiculous.

[MrRowanMess]

Was so annoyed when I heard the new test spec a month or so ago, glad I'm gonna miss the cut off point.

[ChrisDysonVoice]

What a cheery video. Wasn't expecting the Buggles but was good choice :-). You going on some trips?

[curlyblakeybiker]

@ChrisDysonVoice thanks mate :) hopefully soon yeah!, and they're for transporting myself to uni and back!

[bakker46]

They got that stupid three step license thing here too since 1Jan2012... Sucks big time , bikers are a dying breed this way.

[curlyblakeybiker]

@bakker46 i was livid when i read it :(

[terryjackman]

Ha. I just watched a re-run of the whole '08 BSB series and then thought I'd have a break watching Vlogs...... and there you are doing 1000mph. Thought I'd switched to MOTO GP. Great idea and vid :-)

[curlyblakeybiker]

@terryjackman haha i wish! i could never do the speeds those guys do! thanks for watching!

[furious607]

It's a shame about the new rules, I want to see more riders but the government are making that impossible ! oh btw my panniers have started to rub the paint of the bike so watch out for that. Anyway excellent video as normal bud, Ride safe :)

[curlyblakeybiker]

@furious607 thanks for the warning, they'll only go on for trips so i shouldn't have any problems ;) totally agree with you r.e. licences!

[MysteriousVlogger]

I have passed my mod 1 and if I cant get mod 2 passed this year i will just simply wait one year and get on a big bike

[curlyblakeybiker]

@MysteriousVlogger sounds like a good plan to me!

[ricecakeFTW]

Dude, I love your gloves...grrrrr! BTW: your temp readings off F* or C*?

[curlyblakeybiker]

@ricecakeFTW C :P, don't think i'd ride in -1 F! :P If you want them they're spada enforcers

[ricecakeFTW]

@curlyblakeybiker OH GAWDDDD THAT SUCKS!

[instruct2008]

You've gone up in my book Curls! From 0 to 1 mate - I love that tune boy! Was expecting some young punks music  white trying to be black eee ooo dat an ting. Had to watch this vid twice, well done buddy. Like the luggage as well. Have fun, later.

[curlyblakeybiker]

@instruct2008 glad it went down well! i'm more of a child of the 70's and 80's as far as music is concerned! that's from a great live performance they did for the princes trust :)

[Chuckles85]

Did you need a soft luggage rack or was the luggage capable of holding itself right?

Also have you tried them when full to see if there's any movement, I'm looking for some panniers for travelling so this would be a great help to know.

[curlyblakeybiker]

@Chuckles85 it holds itself and there wasn't any movement then, but they were empty. What i did was clip some of the other clips on the bag around parts of the bike (grab rail, pillion footrest connector etc) so they were thoroughly tied down :) once i've got the topbox on i'll do an overview video :)

[akasa231]

I'm 52 and only started learning 4 months ago! if they make the tests too hard /expencive I shalln't bother!

[curlyblakeybiker]

@akasa231 this is what worries me, if i was looking to learn under the new rules, i'd say a ruder version of stuff it and get a car! Good choice starting to ride, i'm glad i've started so young :)

[thatmanfromyorkshire]

@akasa231 I believe its those that are in the younger age group it affects,over 24 and its the same as it is now so you will be fine

[thatmanfromyorkshire]

Cool,you happy with the lugage then mate?

[curlyblakeybiker]

@thatmanfromyorkshire haven't had a chance to test it, but the quality seems good and it will certaintly do what i want it to! :)
