Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 [mention]Hoggs[/mention] It’s more a Hokey Cokey style, You put your front wheel here Your back wheel thereIn out in out shake the bike aboutUnsurprisingly there’s a wide berth around me on a BMW or a skinny 125 -while I take up the whole road I’m going to pretend it’s tactical.

Pbassred Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Passed Mod 1 with one minor. Slight rear lock up on the emergency stop. I also would have marked myself down for getting out of shape on the exit of the swerve. You have to slow down and turn at the same time. He didn't mention it but I felt it.The only thing that struck me was going around the big curve on the run up. I never had a curve with cones before. Always a straight run up in practice. Don't look at the cones!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look at the cones!!!! Well done [mention]Pbassred[/mention], I found going around the cones on the curve really odd, like you've got no exit point to look at when you do a road to follow. On my training day I had to go around a roundabout on a quiet industrial estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 , scratched my mobikes tank today so could do with a laugh Oh no what did you do. One of the wires from my heated gear was a bit dangly (melty on the exhaust type dangly), just before I got on my bike I spied some cable ties so secured the dangly wire with it. Unknown to me it worked it’s way UP the wire between my leg n the tank and the cut end had a little ups downsy scractchy party. It’s not horrrible but they are definitely there and deepish. Heyho.
