Go the blue :buttrock:

You got balls mate, i could never trust myself or other people enough to get a bike. I'm sure i'd love it before i lost my licence/got injured/died/whatever.

They look like mad fun tho.

That's why i didn't get my bike license for the last 6years, I didn't trust myself or other drivers.

But they teach you how to survive in the training and there are a few set techniques to avoid incidents. When I'm riding i just assume every car is out to get me lol

Keep a 3sec distance between you and the vehicle in front
Keep out of blind spots
Constantly scan your surroundings and look for any possible danger
How to emergency break and swerve

They give you quite alot of info, its worth doing motorbike training and you get a license out of it.

I was coming down a tight windy mountain road last night and a sports bike was coming the other direction around a blind corner on my side of the road overtaking 3 cars... he saw me and reved and dropped the clutch and did a powerslide back into his lane. Crazy

I think the misses is going hide my keys soon :huh:

you quickly learn on a bike that if you act like an idiot you will get treated like one and you will get hurt, i've had my licence for about 9 months and i've had afew close calls, people think they are a good driver and are alert in a car, get them on a bike and they will see so much more because u cant afford to put your guard down for a second on a bike.

Its good fun though
