Thx for that McPhil, shall we just say that last one is very sobering.

I can say it's down to the individual and how they drive, if they are idiots then they get what they deserve.

lmao that 4x4 ha ha

That bollard video is hilarious

Thats round the corner from me,thing is that there are huge sign and warnings about the bollards !

OI oi dw,

well done m8, but a word of wisdom from someone who has had a couple of tumbles from bikes over the years, take it easy for a few years, your biggest worry is the other nutters out there, cars and unlicenced drivers, also watch for the hidden diesel spillage (which caught me out last time (only doing 80-90 att) caused a 100+ roll up the road in rush hour on a busy three lane carriageway)

Its good fun but hurts when you hit the tarmac

Ouch, point taken Knash.

I hear the most important thing (and hardest?) is to not hold onto the bike when you take a "tumble."

[[SCUM] knasher]

it all depends if its a low sider, then you have to really think about letting go, but if its a high sider then you will not have the choice, gravity and momentum does it all for you.

Its a great way of getting round and there is a sense of freedom on a hot summers day, bending round the country lanes, and getting past a tricky situation gives you summat to talk about with other bikers, and it does beat a car for getting round (somethimes wish I still had mine,) its just that most of the time you have to have the proverbial eyes in the arse, to watch the car drivers texting and talking on the phone

enjoy but ride safe

Me have shiny new toy........



Come on DW get your test done and get one for the summer

[[SCUM] DeathWish]

Im getting there, got my CBT done yesterday.

DAS starts on monday.

[[SCUM] Leroy]

Did you do the CBT in one day DW?

[[SCUM] FeRoL]

A CBT only takes a couple of hours.

[[SCUM] DeathWish]

Actually Ferol, DSA states a minimum 6 hours CBT training. I did a whole day of it.

TBH, I was well sceptical before I did it as for its usefulness. Having now done it, I am glad they make you do it. Yes some of its basic stuff for people who have been driving, etc for a while. But forcing people to do slow manauvours, emergency stops, U-Turns and basic riding skills etc.

I personally got a lot out it, the instructor was good, took things easy and let us have fun within our own comfort zones, pointing out all the time things to be noted be careful of.

So Ive just come home after my first day on a CBF600, WOW so much fun !, so much to remember ! and im bloody knackered ! going to be rainy here tomorrow not looking forward to that!

[[SCUM] FeRoL]

They must have changed it again then cos I don't remember mine taking that long

Do you have to do the new brake and swerve maneuver in the main test now?

[dadof3]

Theory test ? to ride a motorcycle ? and another to go? geez how long to you gotta act like you care before you can act like a fool on a bike there?

And what's a BOLLARD? why do you have those things? man they should use those to replace stop lights here

[[SCUM] DeathWish]

lol @ Dad.

We do things different here. Probably cuase we have CORNERS ! he he.

@ Ferol, new test comes in March, got get it all done by then !

The guy who had his test today made a right cock-up, he actually managed to lose the examiner !, mind you serves the examiner right for following in a car.

Lol, it took me and the our instructor 3 hours to find him, after he stopped.

I hope my Test tommorrow goes better than that one did.
