Doing motorbike test...

[toseland]

Been riding mine around the car park at work, after the initial "oh f*ck that's a heavy machine" I'm finding it fairly easy to ride.. Now to get the mot done and then sort my license out!

there will be a point.. usually in front of traffic,  that you will put your foot down expecting nice hard solid ground and there will be nothing and despite your prayers and best intentions, over the space of what feels like about 2 hours, that bike will go over.. painfully..

very little damage if any to bike,  pride in tatters and loads of disapproving motorists watching you as the light turns from red to green and back again and you are trying to heave the bike back on its wheels..
