Post by: darrsi on 12 December 2012, 11:32:43 am: Can you make this clear please, are you on a restricted license for 2 years, or have you restricted the bike by your own choice?
'Cos your videos are a bit of a mixture!

Post by: Grandma on 12 December 2012, 11:54:51 am: :rolleyes I hope it was tongue in cheek as it was all wrong. Slip roads are for adjusting your speed to the road you are joining. Video shows poor positioning for early view of motorway, This resulted in having to slow down at entry point to motorway to avoid bike already travelling in lane one, all arse about face!

I bought it and didn't restrict it. I crashed and decided I should restrict it. It is now restricted. This video is from when it wasn't restricted.

I get all that but you haven't actually answered my question?
Are you (supposed to be) on a 2 year 33bhp licence, or is the restriction self imposed?

Post by: born to be mild on 12 December 2012, 09:18:22 pm: Lewis, Im a huge admirer of your work, Your short pieces have the tension and subtle undercurrent of emotion of an early Bergman with the vibrancy in terms of use of shade and colour reminiscent of David Lynch's later works plus they've got loonies on bikes in them. Bravo meastro !

We all like a bit of fun, that's why we ride bikes, but this lad had already had an accident, which hopefully didn't involve anyone else, not doing bikers street creed much good is he?
Get out on a track day and learn to ride without involving the unsuspecting public :D
The sad thing is due to lack of experience the fun factor may backfire and I am sure we all know how much it hurts when it goes wrong :'(

Post by: Raymy on 13 December 2012, 03:08:08 pm: I haven't seen the video but I gather its of some hoonery. Being a fan of such hoonery myself, I must advise against helping to incriminating yourself lest the hoonery cease suddenly through the will of the state.
Title: Re: This is how you properly join a motorway ;)
Post by: GrahamB on 13 December 2012, 03:34:38 pm: It's not OTT hoonery which is what I couldn't understand. Bit of sporadic acceleration on both parts & some shouting. :\
