Went out with Annabella earlier, damn I thought my bike was pretty quick. Until now Crying or Very sad

So I got a few questions

I know this one has been asked before, but I need a refresher.
What manuevres (?) do you have to do on the restricted A licence test?
Anyone remember how much it costs?
VFR or ZXR? Twisted Evil

By the way, nice bike Keith 8)

Hi

Most of the time you were bimbling along at 60 while I was following. Oh, and Dodds, now you have a bike that will keep up with traffic dont be afraid to take up a position towards the centre of the road. If you are too far accross to the left it only encourages cars to try and squeeze past you. Sit out towards the white line and force them to overtake properly if they want to.

All the best

Keith

I was on the left cuz I saw loads of bikes in my mirrors, and didnt want to force them into the other lane

If someone wants to overtake you let them worry bout that.

And aint it time you changed your avatar?

Yeah, you should only ride in the gutter if you know that you're not capable of travelling at the speed limit...as much as I hate 'peds, I dislike it more when they are in the left hand side of the road, riding 30mph in a 30 zone...the temptation to overtake is just too great (I'm talking about when I'm in a car by the way)...and the to$$ers behind all tailgate me as a result...

...and as McJam said, if someone wants to overtake, then that's their problem...

Hi

Yes, Dodds, most of the time the bike behind you was me! If you are doing a reasonable speed then sit well out so that anyone who wants to go past is forced to overtake properly. It wont affect anyone who would have overtaken properly, and it stops idiots trying to squeeze past and forcing you further into the gutter. You can always pull over and back off, waving them past when you are happy to be overtaken.

As to the avatar, just pick up the picture from my site of your bike and edit it, or if you want I can try. Oh, Anne, there is a picture of you there!

All the best

Keith
