WelshLamb Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Currently crashed out on my lorry bunk, scoffing a pizza and watching Guy Martin on TV call me a sad *** but I've really got a sense of achievement today!

Lord Geordie Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I am (still) absolutely frozen to the bone! I think it'll take days for me to warm back up! I bought thermals to do my Bike lessons. I did the CBT, Theory, hazard perception then lessons then test in about 3 weeks all in and passed first time. Test day was my birthday too. I have had a few nice bikes a few hacks and now due to a RTA I am no longer allowed to ride SWMBO has BANNED me from them. I was knocked off on the A19 by a mini bus way back in 1987. Hit on a roundabout on my GPZ600R back in 2004 and it was smashed it to bits. And the last one was a Toyota Picnic pulled out in front of me on a roundabout. I stamped on the brake as I was 45 degrees dragging my knee along for fun when it happened and was high sided. Knackered my wrist got immense whiplash from nearly being decappitated and bruised like a bad banana. She won't let me near another bike now. Can't say I blame her either.

jason kaye Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 What do all you seasoned bikers recommended to keep the draught out on the back of my neck? I use a Proskins undersuit wiyh a roll up collar,but before I just used a neck tube, thet cost about a fiver,I'd stear clear of any balaclava type things under your helmet,because if your helmet fits properly a balaclava will put extra preasure on your head and you'll end up with bad headaches and or a streatched lining in your lid and then when the warm weather arrives your helmet will be a bit loose , not a good thing a sloppy helmet :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just went into a local bike shop to see what was about, found a couple of gsx 1400's and a bmw 1150 that I was interested in, and after the initial greeting the shop ignored me, make things worse they have done this before, their loss will look elsware.
