Not one to always agree with ya Phil, but i have to say i fucking liked that last post.
I ride in Glasgow, not a patch on London i'm sure, but its got its moments. My confidence is good around the city in the tight spaces and through the traffic, and i can be quick and safe. I rarely have many harem scarems like most folk seem to describe in their daily's, but when i get a bit more space and freedom around me the confidence drops some, i'll have to admit, and that to my mind is mainly because of my lack of knowledge on the limits of me and the machine.
I don't ride with folk often, Beer Slag mainly, if ever, but as seldom as it happens, its always a bonus. And my one trip with the foccers soon after passing test left me with 3mm untouched at the sides of a brand new rear boot. All because of being out with folk and seeing how they do it. Folk except moff cos he was already away into next year before i caught up.
But, here's my point.
I really wanna do off road and flat/dirt track stuff to see how far it can go with all the variables of weight, momentum, grip, mentality etc etc etc cos i know it will do me good on the road. I wanna do tarmac track stuff as well obviously but the dirt biking thing really floats me boat
NOT THAT i'M SAYING I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR OTHER MORE OFFICIAL OR RECOGNISED OR ORGANISED TRAINING ROUTES OF COURSE before i gets assumed that i am dissing it or summat.
I wanna do it all, bikesafe, rospa, iam. Its all good to me, i don't care about images and members, it ain't gonna get in the way of me learning about riding, but i really fancy off road and stuff a bit more off the wall
