This is gonna sound pretty lame next to you all but here goes...
Six months after doing my CBT i went back to the school and did an "Introduction To Big Bikes" session, where I rode round a private car park for three hours.
Six months on an XV125 hadn't prepared me for the explosive power of a Kawasaki ER5! :rollin
I was so used to gunning it on my XV when pulling away (they're slow even for a 125) that when I did the same on the ER I damn near slid off the back. I remember bollocking towards this brick wall thinking "SHITSHITSHITI'MNOTGONNASTOP!!", but then slammed the brake on and planted my stomach on the fuel tank. Then dropped the bike when it came to a halt.
It made me realise that, like the instructor said, bikes are Ferrari performance for Fiesta money. :lol
