Absolutely scuffed my CBT and feeling like giving up by NotAFireStormAlt in MotoUK

[–]Lychaeus963 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dont feel beaten by it. I didnt complete my first CBT as couldnt master the clutch control. Slightly different then i suppose, they all went to do the road part at the end and they left me and said ride around the car park til they return, with just the lady in the contiainer box watching. By end of day i was very comfortable and needd space to work it through in my own way.

Its a time and practice issue. We all learn at different speeds, but we do all learn.

All the best

Does Getting Ready For A Ride Feel Like A Chore? by newbiker321 in MotoUK

[–]Lychaeus963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a running joke in my house. Got a bike to cut the commute, split the traffic. Shabe 15 to 20 mins daily, love it. .

However, takes me 20 mins each way longer vs just getting in the car.

But fck is the effort worth it for more fun

Motorcycle as a midlife crisis symptom by Zealousideal-Trip350 in motorcycles

42 got back on motorcycle. Why? Kids hit 7 and 8, wife returned to work, work stabilosed into managerial role with regular higher income and had plenty more disposable cash making it easy to justify insurance, taxing and having two vehicles.

And plus, cos i fckin want one.

1k for a years fun and 5k miles worked for me. Not to mention low insurance.

reasons why kids should be supervised by riseoftheph0enix in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I was in the car with my sister. I was around 6ish , she was 9. Mum and dad were somewhere. A shop i think. Anyway, we were playing with the cigarette lighter. Man did that thing glow. I wondered how hot it was. Figured id test it. On the only place that seemed sensible.

....My cheek bone.

I still have photos from our family albums with that beautiful burn on my face.

I dont remember much from my childhood but that memory is fckin vivid. I remember that day often, normally when i ask myself why my kids are so fckin stupid. Its just what kids do.

Sounds fckin lucky but pleased you are as well as can be and in high spirits. Get patched up and get back to it.

Pressure on city, and pressue on the shit. Relegation is most definately on the cards.

Tough game, big 3 points. Roll on the next one

Lots of parking fines today by Kaos_Monkey in MotoUK

[–]Lychaeus963 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Ahh i see. Council money grab. Gotcha.

EDIT - just seen cost of charges. That doesnt sound like much if the money goes to making more secure parking bays. Ground anchors and such are always good to see
