  8. It all depends on how far you want to go. No but seriously I would fill the bike up to the Green line with the bike upright, sometimes you get a lot of air pushed thought the filler nozzle, the air bubbles collect in the tank once they have gone then you can get a bit more fuel in! If you over fill there will be a small hole just under the filler cap that leads to one of the hoses that pops out under the bike, that’s the over flow. E.goldstein “they watching you”!

    Hi MK, I have sent you a PM E.goldstein “they watching you”!
  17. here you go an update: There are some examples of tough Court decisions which either blamed or partially blamed motorcyclists for accidents. Our law is based on precedent which means the law is Judge made. To argue and decide a case you look at previous decisions and look for similar cases, precedents. Some quite old cases involving motorcycles have been used for years by insurance companies to argue partial or complete fault on the part of a motorcyclist. The case of Powell v Moody (1966) found the motorcyclist to be 80% to blame for an accident where a motorist collided with the filtering motorcycle. The circumstances were that a motorbike was slowly overtaking a lorry which had waved a car on to pull out in front of him on the main road. As the car pulled across the front of the lorry to turn in front of it the motorbike collided with it. The judge in that case concluded that the motorbike rider must be incredibly careful when overtaking when he cannot see what is in front of him. In similar circumstances the case of Clarke v Whinchurch (1969) found the motorcyclist 100% at fault. The judge ruled that the motorcyclist should have realised something was happening up ahead when a bus in a line of slow moving traffic stopped to let a vehicle out from a side road on his left. The car came out quite slowly in front of the bus and was hit by the . In the case of Leeson v Bevis Transport (1972) the motorcyclist was found equally responsible for an accident where a van driver emerged from a side road. The court said that the motorcyclist did nothing wrong in overtaking the line of stationary vehicles, but needed to keep an effective lookout, whilst the van driver should have been aware of the possibility of vehicles overtaking in this way. More recently in the case of Worsford v Howe (1980) the motorcyclist was found 50% at fault. This was a two lane road. The nearside was for traffic going straight ahead and the second lane was for traffic turning right. The biker was riding in the second lane at a speed of 10-30 mph. A tanker had left a large gap in front of it to allow traffic to emerge from a railway yard on the left. A car emerged very slowly in front of the tanker across both lanes to turn right. A collision occurred. This case went to the Court of Appeal where the biker was found 50% at fault. The Court said that the biker was travelling too fast and that he had gone beyond his line of sight. Next we move to Davis v Schrogrin, a Court of Appeal decision in 2006. The accident occurred on a long straight section of road with one lane in each direction. There was a long queue of stationary/slow moving vehicles. A motorcyclist travelling in the same direction was overtaking at about 40 mph. He was half to two thirds of the way across from the central white line, was displaying a dipped headlight and a right hand indicator. He had been in that position for approximately half a mile and was not weaving in and out of traffic. A car driver lost patience and decided to carry out a U turn when the motorcycle was no more than five car lengths back, and the inevitable collision occurred. The Court found the car driver wholly at fault on the basis the motorcyclist was there to be seen and that even if he had been travelling more slowly, it would have made no difference because he had been right on top of the point of the accident when the driver first did anything to alert the motorcyclist of his intended manoeuvre. Next up is the case of Farley v Buckley in 2007. A motorcyclist was passing a refuse wagon which was travelling in the same direction and was indicating an intention to turn left into a side road. The lorry was unable to complete its turn as the side road was narrow and there was a car waiting to emerge and turn right. The motorcyclist travelling at a speed of about 30 mph overtook the refuse wagon with its wheels virtually on the centre white line when the car drove out. A collision occurred. The Court held the motorcyclist wholly at fault as it considered that the motorcyclist was travelling at a too high a speed which in the circumstances was reckless especially having regard to the nature of the manoeuvre that he had been carrying out, the lack of visibility to his left and the fact that the refuse wagon had been displaying its left indicator. The next case to look at is Higgins v Johnson 2008 which is a County Court decision. In this case, a car was approaching a rugby ground on the right and indicated to turn into it. The car had commenced its manoeuvre when it was struck by a motorcycle which was overtaking. The Court heard evidence that the car driver first indicated left, then right, then left and then finally right again. The motorcyclist held back but when he believed that the car driver appeared to have settled on a course of continuing straight ahead, he pulled out to overtake. The Court accepted independent witness evidence that the car did indicate left, right, left and right. The final indication happened when the motorcyclist had already begun to overtake. The Court held that the car driver failed to check her mirrors or look over her shoulder and had she done so, she would have seen the motorcyclist. However, the Court also found that the motorcyclist was aware that there was an indecisive, erratically indicating driver ahead of him yet he proceeded to overtake her on a yellow boxed junction. The Court found the motorcyclist 25% to blame on this basis. E.goldstein “they watching you”!
  18. Ok posted this before but it got lost! Anyway from what I can remember when did my Advanced Motorcycle test with IAM. Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. E.G you’re turning it a driveway/ entrance. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are traveling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. Of course there is the old favorite you can do so when instructed by the Police. I think it’s something like rule 120 -129! On the filtering front I think that as long as the traffic is stationary and your traveling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less your ok, but don’t hold me to that as I can not remember the rule number.

  19. Hi mk, May seem a bit obvious but if your engine has gone pop why not just “and I say just like it’s a two minute job” put another engine in. Coz it is an easy task getting the engine in and out is the pluming and wiring that’s the fun bit . If you put the bike on its side having undone all the bolts then lift the bike up and leave the engine on the floor, you tend to keep all your fingers . I would have thought there are lodes of Bandit 1200s engines kicking about on eBay and at motorcycle breakers. Alternative if yours in not too bad rebuild it and give it a good tune up as well. Good luck E.goldstein “they watching you”!
