Thanks mate 🙂 Its very possibly that the stearing bearings, of forks are knackered or bent, it did feel a tad wobbly on way back – but could just be the wheel alignment, getting it checked over saturday!
I did buy some lovely slash cuts for my bike, but had to sell them because they didnt fit 🙁 im pretty sure she would of heard me if i had those bad boys fitted!! Yeah – as i metnioned, i cant see it hindering me riding at all, i love driving around on 2 wheels – and i always will =) love to do a major road trip, where and when? im not sure yet, but i will 🙂
Good on you mate! Emergency stops can be a pain, especially when its wet!
Deffintly see what your saying mate, and i know what you mean about the freedom! Im going for the full license in december, i think id like to have the best of both worlds – as like you mentioned, when it rains, the drain covers and road markings are EXTREMELY slippery – however, in summer, providing youv got the right protective gear on, motorbikes are fantastic fun as long as u stay aware and alert – but a car for these damper, colder days would be ideal really 😀
Iv been on 2 wheels for about 2 years now, and whilst it dosnt quite compare yet to your 3, i see what your saying, you also get a few jealous people when your filtering through traffic, but you deal with it :)! and the biking communiuty is fantastic aswell! if you break down, u always get someone pulling up to help you out on a bike.
lol yup, apprently! its safe to say, anyone riding at that speed on a bike and then getting into a similar crash has a very small chance of getting up!
Yup, its something all courses and tests can teach you about to some extent, and how to handle it – but itll Never hit home until it actually happens – thats how i see it. I dont plan on something like that happening again, but then, who does? Visibility is the biggest problem with bikes (at least i think), hence buying a hi vis jacket! that 50 pence spent on one can save your life.
Hey all! Cheers bro, preciate the help last night and following home to make sure bike + myself were alright! again, thanks!!
Im doing well, little bit shook up, luckily, bike came off worse than i did as i managed to get off the thing before i went under with it – will sort it out with insurance today, although i should of been clearly visible with lights on + lighted area, i think its best to now take a high vis jacket out with me, as its going to allow me to be seen better! In no way has it stopped me wanting to drive a bike, but i think im deffintly going to be more wary of other road users (more so than i already am) – im taking my test soon (hopefully december), so wish me luck all! and preciate all the kind words! 🙂 I was only a bit shook up! other than that, im good and will be COD 4 ‘ing before u know it 😛 😆
