  1. The Highway Code, read it from cover to cover
  2. I also think your gesture of a gift would be greatly appreciated too
  3. I also struggling doing my u turn, the instructor got me to ride pillion and he got me to mirror his body position Basically you lean the bike ever so slightly in to the turn and lean your body out slightly to balance Slow riding is all about slipping the clutch, rear brake control and revs
  4. I ride a 125... Speeding isn't possible...
  5. Don't worry about how you look as you'd look a whole lot worse with no skin left. Regardless of the size of the bike, a slide down the road at 50mph would give the same results. Safety first always
  6. Summer gloves mate, I borrowed a pair of winter gloves for my CBT (sweaty hands wasn't pleasant!) Make sure whatever you get are double stitched for durability
  7. My trainer basically said to treat rear brake like a handbrake when doing a hill start in a car (apology for mentioning a car on here) Red Dragon, I'm presuming you can drive a car?
  8. Buying anything is a lottery these days, a guy at work has a 2013 Audi (£24k... Ouch!!!), he's had no end of issues with it.
  9. Never had a lexmoto myself, but I've read many times about poor build quality and even poorer reliability.
  10. Think a fixed charger will be installed, eBay has loads
  11. Not for the whole journey, just the Birmingham stretch, I had major road numbers and on a piece of paper in the top of the tank bag too
  12. Nurofen just for scale and other painkillers are available
  13. Used one of these yesterday on my 200 miler. Keep in the tank bag and plugged into your phone... No more flat phone battery :-) :-) http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/07/nu6ujevu.jpg
  14. Now you tell me, get the kettle on, I'm on my way
  15. First step in to a much better world
  16. Wigan, Warrington, Newport, Telford, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Stratford, Oxford, Reading, Sandhurst, Camberley Oh yeah, 8hrs with four 20 minute breaks http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/06/ymusyveb.jpg
  17. Slow ride figure of 8 and U turn were tricky for me, the instructor then rode the bike with me on the back and told me to mirror his movements... It worked for me. If in doubt, ask questions, don't worry if you think its silly either. And remember the lifesaver glance Try not to tense up and keep your arms relaxed You'll be fine
  18. I'd really like to attend, but got moving house issues the week before! Anyone know if there will be few125's going?
