  1. Was going to go out for most of the day Sunday, but after swinging a heavy duty breaker around for 5 hours today I don't think I will bother, I will go and get some more oil though from Halfords as it is on offer, 5 litres of Halfords own brand part synthetic 10w40 £23.99, then I might have an afternoon ride
  2. Хорошая работа, приятно видеть тебя на балу

    Fear of riding

    You could maybe find a riding buddy on here or have a look on FB for great fun on small bikes, they have loads of members around the country, I am sure you could find a buddy local to you who would be willing to ride with you

    Fear of riding

    Lack of confidence is normal in the beginning even more so if you have never ridden before. A good habit to get into is doing your pre ride checks, so check things like oil and water, lights, tyre pressures and condition etc. Doing this will calm your nerves as you are not rushing to get out on the bike just take your time, it is not a race. Secondly it will help build trust in the bike as you know it is safe to ride. Like most things it will take a good few miles under your belt, just take it slow and steady find some quiet roads, go to some retail or industrial parks when they are closed and practice the slow maneuvers you did on the CBT, all this will help build up muscle memory for your clutch and brake control. Good luck and keep at it
  5. The kill switch for one
  6. Good morning well it's dry and the winds seemed to have eased a little
  7. I had one on Friday going home, was on the bypass heading towards Edenthorpe, the wind was that strong it felt like I was going backwards anyway the road was fairly empty so I was keeping more to position 3 to leave myself room. I was getting blown about and I could feel the bike slide sideways no matter how much counter steer or lean I used to try and hold position, anyway a car coming the opposite direction must have been watching me and it only must have been 20-30 yards between us and a gust took me into his path, don't know how but he moved over to the centre line which gave me plenty of room to go past on his nearside, as I went past I gave him a thumbs up, it was a weird feeling afterwards like did that just happen or did I imagine it.
  8. Good morning So it's storm Franklin now is it oh well still got to go to work storm or not
