My riding instructor reckons that a nice ride out from manchester to the NEC would be a great way to get some hours in on the bike Very Happy
Is this the worlds biggest driving lesson ?

Yes, taking the piss. Your lessons would be best spent around the area you take your test in. On my lessons we only had 1 lesson of riding around generally but then after that it was all test route stuff. Neutral

I'm thinking this will be mostly straight lines down the motorway? He's probably thinking ''Ah nice easy lesson don't have to do much & get paid!)

Thats crap! What happens when you hit roads you don't know after you've done your test? If you can do random roads perfectly you will be more than able to do the test.

Sounds like he wants some easy hours and wants to go to the NEC. Does he want you to pay for the 'privilege'?

It would be as much fun as rideing a pushbike in lycra @ 30 down a hill then leaning off the back and stoping the rear wheel with your nutsack.

Having to deal with shitty situations is something that happens on a bike, it used to completely freak me out going through city centers in rushour, i still fecking hate it, but i'll deal with it.

A guy i know has a £3000 bike in his garrage hes not used this year all beacuse he lost his nerve and daren't use it..

hmm, i thought it would be fun.An adventure. Confused
surely a couple of hundred miles and a few hours ON a bike is better than no practice, and it would take me away from familiar roads.
i will put the negative vibes down to the clocks going back and everyone being a bit down Very Happy

Yes but you learn more going around smallish roads & having to stop every secound, Instead of going at a constant speed. & yes it sounds like he doesn't wanna miss the NEC.

How can it be crap Question Its the format for most places that give lessons according to the instructor i used. Same as my car lessons 5 years ago. Boring i know but they teach you to pass your test, not know every road afterwards. If you do go enjoy yourself. Wink Thumbs Up
