yeah....i think i've managed the 'put on the helmet correctly' procedure adequately! it's the swerve out of the way of the porsche cayenne/bmw x5/big merc that is carrying darling tarquin to polo lessons that i've got to watch out for.....

thanks....was pretty gusty out on the road today - i found myself sitting at a traffic light in the safety position (i.e. right foot up on rear brake, left foot on ground)....big gust of wind blew the bike so much i had to drop the right foot! i can do without that sort of complication tomorrow!

right then.....the big day is tomorrow, got my DAS test in the morning at Pinner....i've had two and a half days solid riding instruction on a cbf500....it is so much more fun than the 125s i've been on, completely different machine to ride:D :D u-turn is good and emergency stop not too shabby...

here's one that is about the size of a bag of rice.... mini pink vespa although i'm not too sure about kiddies riding things like these:confused:

i never even thought of that. although i do vaguely remember that the uk police have had trouble with one of the models and have dropped it after a few fatal incidents. not sure what model or what incidents but do remember reading it somewhere.

they did teach me how to drop the clutch real quick.... Wheeliedance.mpeg <1Mb

i'm hoping for half decent weather on the 1st dec.....anything but chucking with rain will be fine (although obviously no snow/frost!). Going up the gears is not too bad, its coming down i have trouble. found myself in a gear too low occasionally and when i then let the clutch out it really...

right...to re-instate a motorbike thread instead of hijacking other threads phase two of project learn to ride a motorbike commenced today with a geared conversion course. my ped is twist and go so i found gears pretty hard going.....i was thinking so much about them i was forgetting about...

sorry joe :o , i guess i'll make an on-post comment to make up for the off-post one! i agree, our current way of living is not going to last forever....resources from land through oil to water are becoming more scarce. if china and india develop a taste for oil comparable with western levels...

its been pretty chilly on the scooter recently....i urgently need to buy - winter gloves proper bike trousers (currently just ride in suit trousers which has little windproofing:eek: ) a stylish moped rider flappy scarf...hmmmm, maybe not. heated grip thingys - although may just buy a big...

bbc link you never really know how close another internet user is to you.....:eek:

not quite yet, i did do my bike theory test this week and passed - 34 out of 35 for questions and 50 something out of seventy something for the hazard perception videos.....i got disqualified in one of the 14 videos for over-exuberant clicking:o i've also seen a 2nd hand fazer 600 (older...

Hi Col, one of my friends is buying a house and can only get cable there - not sure what company it is but the amount she is being charged for combined broadband, phone and cable tv is pretty expensive for what it is....about £90 per month for the lot and the broadband is not that quick. my...

maybe later in the season. maybe in '07 or '08. but with a warmer gulf of mexico more storms will pick up more power - another really big one is just a matter of time. better to work with mother nature than take her head on. the land ownership issue does strike me as being a big...

purposefully injuring a fellow professional is pretty low behaviour - football has had quite a few of those over the years. putting in a hard, legal challenge is what it is about but not when the challenge is reckless -if you put in a tackle like ben thathcher's then you are either incompetent...

yes....by having no witnesses:D i agree...that's why i prefer rugby to footy. there is always the opportunity for a ham-fisted second row to give out a good shoe-ing to the unfortunate opposition stand off - in a manner consistent with the rules of course....:cool: have the police ever got...

i suppose ice hockey is pretty brutal but at least they have lots of padding! i'm sure organised sports have a beneficial effect on the population...lots of people stressed by jobs getting rid of it by playing competitive sports! what on earth is Folgers?

did anyone see ben thatcher's challenge? slow mo on you tube - elbow hit i reckon he should be done for assault - there is no place for that in football
