I heard mirrored visors go clear where stone chips are and it can be dodgy riding when that happens, but tinted ones are still dark where the stone chip is. Basically on the mirrored ones the mirror layer comes off easily but tinted ones don't.

Might want to consider that if it is true.

OMG!! How far can we go with this... im sure that statistics are looked at before anyone decides what to do, and yeh a car could launch in the air and land in someones bedroom... but its probably more likely that someone could fall off their bike...

Think logically instead of with your heart

But when someone come off a bike they get hurt and are very unlikely to hurt others. The opposite is true for cars.

Would you rather a nutter on a bike goes wide on a corner and plows into you or a nutter in a car?

For the biker to get hurt is his choice and personal risk. For the car driver he is choosing to risk other people a lot more than him self.

How do you take off a windscreen? I isn't held on with bolts like a thought it would be, it is held on with sort of rivets, how do I remove them? would I be able to reuse them to fit a new screen?

PS it's an NC30.

Now what exactly do I do lol? I don't know if they go in the carbs or in the inlet or what? I have a friend who used to be a mechanic, but I can't just hand him four metal discs and say restrict my bike to 33bhp.

Where do they go? It's an NC30.

Thanks

didn't u get another try at emergency stop what a bummer next time dude

Yer got 47 then 48, the 125 just couldn't get up to speed. I will have to take the corner at the end a lot faster next time.

No minors or anything but got 48 on my emergency stop. I would have been less bothered on the swerve but the stop, jesus. Just have to book another one.

It is tomorrow at 08:30 and I am now getting pretty nervous just like when I had my driving test. It's the damn swerve! I can repeatedly do it, but each time I feel like a was lucky to do it.

Oh well I will let you know how it goes, then it's time to shop for a bike

Mod 2 should be a lot easier as I have been driving a car for a year and can competently use the roads just need to smoothen the whole thing out on a bike.

Here's a little bit of inside info for any young riders (as in age - only been riding a few weeks myself) who might not have already realised how the typical car driver views bikers:

I was talking to my girlfriend the other day, who obviously knows I ride a bike, and she was telling me how she gets so angry when bikes filter because "they're cheating" o.O and "why should I have to check for bikes in my mirrors? If they want to cheat then it's bad luck if they crash".

BE VERY AFRAID!

Dump the fool.

Actually in that case, car drivers are cheating in a f**king crash and should be made to not wear a seat belt and have a large spike attached the their steering wheel pointing at them. Should even things out. Cheating my arse.

On the swerve test after you have swerved and coming to a stop do you need to stop in first gear or can you stop in 3rd and then switch down before you pull off?

Cheers
