Nerves are the kicker. Take a good few deep breaths between each bit there's no time limit! Just focus on your technique - head up, clutch control. Oh and don't forget the mirror checks after the examiner tells you to exit the area

Why do you even come to these threads! Shoo! Just so you can quote me and tell me to sod off

Checked brake pads aren't worn / sticking?

Why do you even come to these threads! Shoo!

That sheepshagger had it coming Six!

He certainly will, Hoggs. was hoping he'd see it and volunteer a solution rather than me hassling him directly. Aww you're so nice I'll just give you a helping hand PAGING TC, TC TO THE THREAD PLEASE

TC1474 is probably going to be the most helpful person for this sure he won't mind you dropping him a PM

Experience will tell you to just go slower on these roads and the only way to get experience is to go nice and slow so you don't fall off! We all still hit wet patches (keep eyes out for drain and manhole covers those things are slippery as Bon Jovi when wet) and remember sudden acceleration/braking is the worst thing ever so if you do find yourself in a bit of bother ease off the throttle and try to fight the instinct to grab all the brakes. This only leads to bad things You'll be fine just use your head

They're black and round and stop you riding around on the rims

Very nice

Phil is going to have converted everyone to green laning by the end of next year Have a top time

This is probably easier.... here you go just full screen this and hold your phone up near the window

Up

Bad luck Ross. Sure you'll nail it on the next go

ah thanks. Safe riding

Congrats! Is it the same as the CBT if you pass it on a scooter you can also ride a geared bike?

Found it! Can we install it now? http://www.ribbustingjokes.com/lilsusieq/scrapbook/buttons/button_lime_green.png OOOH I LIKE LIME THINGS

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Its started out being about us not being dicks. Now it's some techno babble that only 2 people understand

If you place a wrench at a crossroad at midnight and say his name three times you may be able to summon Spanner who is the king of manuals

An open letter to the dickhead who was a foot behind me on the north circular- Dear dangerous driver Its not big or clever to follow a biker that close. Seriously that was a foot at most?? I'm not sure if you were trying to intimidate me or if you weren't aware how close you were. Top tip if a biker turns round and motions for you to back off you should back off. I'm aware that I was at least 5 car lengths behind the car in front of me - there's a good reason for this, a little thing called stopping distances. This is in case the car in front had to suddenly break I'd have a nice big gap to gently slow down in. This is important- you should remember this point. When the car in front of me moved over you seemed to get even closer to me! Us bikers don't like this. Don't do this. You may remember I then sped up into the nice big gap ahead. Then you may be confused what happened next so I'll explain. See on a bike it's quite easy to lightly apply the rear brake but not actually slow down. I know you know what else happens though.... yes! The rear brake light comes on! Well holy moly you must have had quite the panic on as you violently slammed on your brakes (you may want to get your tracking checked you veered to the right pretty epically). Don't worry I checked no one was up your arse first. Weirdly after that you stayed at the perfect following distance! I'm glad you've learnt something from this and hope you give us bikers the space we deserve in future. Love and kisses Hoggs X

Oh Neil I hope you didn't think I was including you! I did say a lot not all!! You're a proper fan so you're allowed a terrible lack of judgement to support rossi

well looks like 5th is the best I can hope for

Dorna are too scared of losing their biggest cash cow that they will never really police the bullying ethos that Rossi promotes. It will be interesting to see how attendance numbers vary when he does eventually retire.

Now iam Riff Raff & a Pleb Thought this was the friendly forum. Oh noes Fred! I was only calling Glorian a pleb not you. OI GLORIAN you pleb, you apologise to Fred right this instance.
