When I was doing my driving lessons, the instructor slammed on the brakes once when I was going to go for a gap to get onto a roundabout. "You wouldn't have made that" he said.

Cars are spectacularly shit, I (fairly) recently bought my first rage cage and I'm already considering selling it Handy (having a licence) for work, where at least you're being paid to sit in traffic. |

Bikes were strange to me to begin with having been driving for around 10 years before.
Even now I get in the car after riding the bike and think something is wrong because of the lack of power (same going from the car to a van tbh).
Anyway.... well done , welcome to the world of cages with benefits such as arriving dry, having the heaters up full blast if you like, windscreen wipers, having a sip of your coffee at the lights, listening to your favourite music...... while you're stuck in traffic watching all the bikes filter to the front, leaving 20 minutes earlier because you know you're going to get stuck in traffic, knowing that the only thing you're beating at the lights is the clutch etc etc etc |

Technically the award should be given, The cage was already on the road as its the wifes car. But now it has a biker driving it at times.
|
I could only give the award if it meant the car was on the road less overall, but more likely to be more?
Sorry, but I can't go awarding karma willy-nilly, it has to be right ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Everyday cars certainly seem duller than they used to be. My old 1.6 Orion always felt like it had a bit of go in it, had 130 on the clock once (ok, the thing was rattling and shaking like it was about to explode ). Current 1.8 Focus is gutless and bland. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Well done the Pinkster, it must be quite a difficult transition from bike to car after such a long time on 2 wheels. I started on 4 and graduated to 2, several years later. I love driving as much as I love riding (given the right conditions)
I've had my car licence for 41 years (ish).
So remember to come back for a gold star sticker when you've clocked up the same.
Take it easy around cyclists, no matter how much we hate them, we're still not allowed to kill them ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
