  1. Just got back from Barmouth and the cost road down towards Twyn looked a great ride unfortunately I was in the car. I did speak to someone who said they'd been done speeding for 31 in a 30 but just took it with a pinch of salt, heard a few people say it now though seems harsh!
  2. They did when I passed mine, The reason they told was if your following a car or bike and reading the road ahead you can see parked cars etc but if your following a truck your view could be obscured.
  3. As a hgv driver myself that bike was lost in the blind spot caused by the mirror by the time the bike was out of the blind spot it was too low to be seen. Not excusing the driver at all he should of been looking well up rd as he turned in and spotted the bike
  4. This was something I found weird on my lessons as a hgv driver I did it without thinking but you soon get the hang of it [emoji6]
  5. Nice route I did my first proper ride a few weeks back heading over to Saddleworth and back to Wakefield via Holmfirth . Great roads and views but a bit daunting for a newbie lol Ill have to have a venture on the roads I'm your map
  6. What are you wanting to use it for? I've been into my mtbs for years, tried a road bike and now have a cyclocross. Boardman and Carrera do decent entry level bikes for all styles but as said if you go new fro halfords check every bolt lol
  7. Yeah your right: "He (Kenneth Noye) and fellow crook Brian Reader were acquitted of murder after pleading self-defence but 11 gold bars were discovered hidden beside Noye's garage wall. The pair of them were jailed for conspiracy to handle stolen goods." And Noye was the one who got sent down for stabbing someone to death in a road rage incident, they had to put his fiancee in to witness protection due to Noyes associates [emoji20]
  8. Career criminals I reckon as soon as the ages were released I guesses there probably "known faces" from the oldschool mobs. I think the 76 year old did time over involment in the brinks mat Google his name
  9. Great pic! I'm jealous none of my parents, grandparents were into bikes.
  10. Only if you chop the main frame ( you can chop the bit that the seat mounts to I.e change the tail end) and only if you tell them
  11. I was out last Sunday for a local ride about with my brother and his mate there both on old Vespas and I was on my Bandit. I was happy enough tootling about I also dabbled in the scooter scene very briefly on a 50 and was suprised how many bikers nodded.
  12. I watched it till the end, well skipped to the end I suggest you do the same
  13. I thought you went to hell if you jetwashed a bike [emoji1]
  14. That is rather the impression I've formed. I've had a go at a few and upset myself because I've clicked at things that apparently are not hazards, because I'm so anxious not to miss anything, and then tried to avoid that and not clicked enough - haven't failed as such but certainly haven't left myself a margin of error. When I come to do the real thing I will need to be much better, as I'm bound to drop a few points because of nerves. It does seem to be very much about working out how to pass the test, as much as actually being able to pass the test. I agree, I've done the test and it's all about how to "play the game". If you could sit with an actual person and talk them through the hazards you perceive, you would get a different score than the one given by a computer program. Best thing to do is get a CD-ROM of the test (sounds a bit old school now, not sure what format they now come in) and learn how and when the program is expecting you to click. Couldn't agree more, I have done it 3 times now car, hgv, bike and found it more frustrating each time. The bike ones first clip showed a bus pulling up so I clicked (potential hazard) then kids getting off... Click then walked around the front of bus.. Click now there in road.. click first video and I get a message telling me I've clicked too much so will get no score, luckily the nerves settled down and I did o.k with the rest lol I passed all three first time but for me it's the worst part of the tests
