Thanks, yeah I've come off once already, my own fault, due to inexperience and no one suffered. I have all good gear, I don't get these morons that do not invest in good gear as I noticed how much of a difference the gear makes, I had all good gear on except just waterproofs as trousers, not a mark on any of my boots or jacket, yet waterproofs look like arnie had a good with unlimited ammo.
I've also discovered I hate mopeds as much as boy racers, they drive like tw@ts and the amount of times I've seen them nearly knocked off is incredible. I don't push my luck, if I cannot keep up when dealing on main roads inbetween traffic and I can see bikes approaching I will shift aside and let them go. It's all pretty common sense, but I do think I could do with an additional course of some sort, any recommendations?
As the CBT teaches nothing and I kind of think how daft and easy it is to get on a bike with a 125 capacity, especially at 16/17 year olds on provisional with no theory knowledge or road knowledge and experience, I've at least had 6 years driving experience in a car that I apply to the road and read ahead and not attempt anything stupid! And still I think biking is more difficult from multiple perspective than a car, even with experience in a car for several years. I know the government is changing the law in Jan but I do not think its adequate enough by any means.
But 10bhp on a bike is definitely more fun than the 200bhp in my golf.
