Another Motorcycling Tutorial for Casuals!

[Guest]

You may remember a few months ago that I did a vid to show you how to get on and off your bikes!

Well I'm presuming that you've all absorbed that by now......so we can move onto the next stage!

The next stage is where you actually get the bike out of your garage and put it on the road.....ready to actually ride.

Now I'm aware that this will be completely unknown territory for many of you casuals......but there comes a time when you have to push the boundaries a bit. And this is one of those times!

Just remember not to fall over with it if possible though! If you feel you are likely to fall over with it, then get somebody filming you......that way myself and @JRH can advise on where you went wrong!

I'm sure it does Stu......but this isn't the time or the place to discuss your sexual preferences.

OK I'm being thick here I know .... but what's a casual??

[Marino]

I did it every day, bike out of garage, pushed on driveway, driven to the road and than back to garage. Just to keep myself fit.

Someone who only rides on dry roads in warm weather. Easy to spot as their bike isn't covered in mud and grit.

Casuals .... while i'm riding from Rotherham to Salisbury in February ... the only Motorbike on the trunk roads ... I often wonder where the Wonder Ninjas and their plastic fantastic spaceship bikes are hiding ... then April arrives and the sun comes out and they appear in their Dainese finery and me and my 400cc thumper or 300cc two stroke get sneered at. 

But i'm not bothered ... I just keep riding ... 16000+ miles on the Himma and the MZ's in the last 12 months .... 

Casuals ..... HA!

Mine goes in sideways but it's big enough so I can Whip it straight out

not really , but when you got off the bike it would of been nice to see you  walk round the bike using the method of dance ... i did like the Fonz pose at the end .
