Re: Lost the confidence of youth?

I know some do both it just seems like the car ones I've met, like 4 today, were miserable gits.

I had a licence, just not from this country, used to live abroad and never bothered to get it transferred before validity ran out. Wish I had now...

Ba humbug.

Oops.

Neon is an acquired taste I think....no offence intended.

PS. If I wanted to sell that, I'd take it back as close to standard as possible...

Re: Hey guys!

Snoogle, if you spanked that white ass in your avatar until it went a bit red.

Would that be a win or a fail?

Food for thought.

Re: Lost the confidence of youth?

I wish I could have snagged a Mod 2 for this aft. I asked the examiner but he said there was nothing free. Shame, I was really in the right mood. Nevermind. Something else....car examiners, what a set of miserable tweed suit wearing gits. Bike examiners....friendly as anything, had plenty of banter ...

Re: Lost the confidence of youth?

Well today I kind of had an epiphany. Set off with renewed vigor determined to make that machine work for me. Passed Mod 1 this morning and afterwards I started to ride properly. Confidence seems restored. I have to wait a bit for my Mod 2 but I'll get a half day the day before it just to make sure ...

Re: Lost the confidence of youth?

Thanks guys. I'll try. He admitted today, he's not allowed to really teach us HOW to ride properly. For example, first day I moved to a left road position for a right hand bend, was told this would be a fail unless I did a shoulder check. Now I'm approaching a bend at 50mph, a shoulder check.....hel...

Lost the confidence of youth?

11 or so years ago, I used to blast around (in relatively safety) on my Bandit 12. I'm now doing DAS training on a CBF500. Today, we went out around some country lanes, road was in horrific condition, pot holes, loose gravel, horse sh1t, tractors, poor road repairs. A familiar story in the UK. What ...

Re: WHAT BOOTS?

I just got some Alpinestars SMX-4. Last years model but I rode in them for the first time on Monday and after 20 minutes forgot they were there. Rigid soles of course but I find walking in them to be OK. Very comfortable for me with just a pair of reasonably thick socks on. I recommend them. £130 f...

Re: Leathers rubbing your neck

haha.

Went to pharmacist today. She looked and said "ouch, nasty, go see your GP". I'm not making it up, honest...

Hopefully they will break in over time :(
