Any one need a hand?
Trying to get some more expierence, and a bit off cash in.
My prevouse isnt alot i attended a course and completed that. Then i did my whole kitchen (about 8mtr square) then i did my wc and bathroom.
I also completed a shower cubicle and splashback. I dont expect to work and be on a lot off cash to start with.
I have my own tools, and im loyal i will work for as long as im needed.
my down falls are im dyslexic dyspraxic and got adhd. None off these things bother me i dont want to be an accountant 
Just thought it best to mention. probably shot my sef in foot like.
Im currently banned from driving after being silly on my R1 but will travel bus train etc. My last job was 4 miles awat from my house and i walked 2 mile off it like a donkey with all my gear inc wet cutter. had arms like an orangutang after but i did it.
Im based in wakefield huddersfield area.
thanks for reading,

Re: Any one need a hand?
The adhd etc doesnt bother me at all mate if i want to do somthing i will. i know im no good at writing etc so i dont bother with it.
If its with my hands i can do it.
Didnt really have parents to help me out so just used to get up to things i shouldnt have. But wat doesnt kill you makes you stronger lol

Re: Any one need a hand?
Might be time to swap that R1 for a Van !!
The same thing happened to me about 10 years ago. I rode a Honda Fireblade and was banned for 2 weeks for speeding on the M25. 105mph Going to Lakeside shopping centre. After the ban the insurance was so high that it ended my biking career. Might get myself a cheaper Suzuki Bandit 600cc but more likely to stick with the Van.
Not sure what the Insurance premiums are on an R1 these days but I guess its through the roof ?

Re: Any one need a hand?
I sold a 98 fireblade 900 for the r1 there a good bike. im not really a biker i just like quick things lol.
Bike was covered by my traders insurance mate but yes it will go up..... alot
im going to buy 2001 astra estate off amate that the headgasket has gone on will fix that and run it about. Will miss bikes on warm summer evenings might save up for a R6 there more fun as they are a little more forgiving.
Bandits are good bikes too not as much torture on the wrists or back.

Re: Any one need a hand?
Mike - you are clearly a real character. Biker and Tiler and willing to carry wet tile cutters miles..... lmao. Best advice is stop wheelie-ing on R1's and grab yourself a mans bike - the FJR is bike enough to strap a wet tile cutter on the back and still reach 120 mph - lol.
