HELP. anybody know about bikes

<< < (2/6) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
As I understand it a car entitlement should allow you to ride a 50cc as a learner but I could be wrong.

If you take and pass CBT you can ride up to a 150 for 2 years before you need to tretake the test ( I have a mate about to retake his) After the first one it's just an inconvenience really.

If you pass the full test in the meantime then all well and good, but you are restricted to about a 350 for 2 years I think, you may still be able to take a 'super course' where you take the test on a 600 and can then go straight onto a big bike, but that loop hole may have been closed now.


Just remember bikes are b***y dangerous, how economical does a car have to be before you'd consider it?

 [-X What? Do you mean like guns?

Proper training, 200% concentration and a distrust of all other vehicles/pedestrians/etc are a major help to your safety!

beast5680:
a small note to bike riders though, i dont need to see the whites of your eyes as you come towards me on my side of the road just before you duck back in to the traffic :shock:
you also dont need to try and rub your leathers down my van as you overtake me and try to stay on the right side of the white line cos you misjudged how far away the truck coming the other way was

gords:
You get to$$ers like that in every walk of life, unfortunately :roll:

I was overtaken by a chap today - I was doing 30 in a 30 mph zone, which was obviously far too slow and highly inconsiderate to this BMW convertible driver ... so he overtook me.

OK, so he overtook me and exceeded the speed limit in doing so ... but he also very nearly smashed into the speed calming measure (other side of road closed off type) as he squeezed by me :x  Oh, I'm sorry ... was I supposed to slow down to let him pass?

Unfortunately there are t**ts on the road who can't seem to see 2 tonnes of Ranger Rover, covered in spotlights, howling like god-knows-what coming towards them, what chance does some poor b****d on a bike stand?  I'd love a bike but until they make incompetance a capital offence I'll be staying on 4-wheels (the bigger the better).
