19QOS19 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm sure that's why there are so many motorbike deaths, especially in the Highlands. *Midlife crisisers buy them who haven't ridden for years...* Aye but what does that have to do with motorbike deaths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I could never remember if that Gretna owner's name was Brooks Mileson or Miles Brookson. I blame the poster on here who named himself Miles Brookson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to do my CBT at the end of August it was the first time I had been on a bike since 1981. I thought that it would be simple to just pick it up again. How wrong I was! I spent about 4 hours riding round in circles in a little compound on the first day. On the second day we went out on the road and the instructor was shouting at me for not doing 60mph. Although I had been on a bike before I couldn't help but think how on earth a total beginner would get on. I must admit that I was fearless as a youngster but feck me, there are some huge motors on the road nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never sat on a motorbike before taking the lessons and to be honest I was surprised at how quickly I was able to get into the swing of things. In saying that I found after passing the various tests I was still unprepared when it came to being set loose on the roads.Still absolutely shit myself at times when I'm out on the bike and I've not even got close to its potential. Going to think over the winter about whether I'm going to keep it or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
