Oh No! It's Started...

[Dibble]

Just got back from an 0830 appointment for my motorcycle theory test...

35 out of 35 on the multi guess, and 71 out of 75 on the "Hazard Perception". That'll be a pass then.

Better book that Direct Access course now...

From here on in it just gets deeper and deeper - you won't easily get out!



Well done, and more good luck

PS - try to avoid re-arranging two wheelers the way you do with four....

So, I hope you will be sticking to the speed limits once you have passed your DA. Best of luck

Of course...

Just pull in the clutch in second at about 35 mph, give a twist and simaltaneaously ping the clutch. Climb the box into 5th and land a monster with a puff of smoke from the front!

Then you you have direct access! (To A&E)

Helpful Phatgixer! Don't listen to him Dibble, hold around 50 mph in first and just wack the throttle open. The front will lift right up, don't hit the rev limiter, change up to second at about 80, then 3rd @ 110, 4th @ 130 etc.

Once you have it sorted, I'll call you as an expert witness to how I'm not, 'not in control' of my vehicle, especially at a piddly 40 to 50 mph! In a 60 zone of course!!

Could you make sure you wear your uniform?

Cheers!




Phatgixxer - we talk a good wheelie don't we?

[veetwin]

Just don't change your mind in first and shut the throttle off completely; thus, having a nuts/tank interface as I did last Sunday! This is not only painful but extremely embarrassing. I'm sure your DA instructor will tell you all you need to know.

I think they cover stoppies in the advanced test now.

Speaking of stoppies

That is entirely different in technique to "simultaneously". Be careful!!

And you want me to try wheelies, eh?
