LOL @ can't decided!!
How about we change the name of the thread whenever appropriate? We do this in the Electronic Music forum, it gets a new thread title every time someone says something really funny or retarded.
Or feel free to start your own and let this die if you want! 0 -

I remember when I started I was sh1tting myself but very soon you will be grand. I'd just say take it at your own pace. Find a housing estate with no cars and do laps of it for a while. Take one aspect and practice that over and over. What I did was I found someone who had experience to come out with me and help me along and give me advice as I go - helped a lot. Good luck!
yea i did that on sunday, went to two big carparks and just went round and round, stopping, starting etc. then out on the road but had my friend behind me.
problem is he lives on southside and im on northside, hard to meet for a spin coz id need him to come to me
Did you watch the TT show last night? went through the whole course, unbelievable, the size of it!0 -

lol, i just asked my friend and he said not to go on my own yet, oopsie!
ah he's right, ive only been on the road once, i could easily make a silly mistake and have no one with me :S
At least youre going the TT!!!
definitely next year, for now ill just have to watch on tv *sniff*0 -
When I got my first bike there was nothing that'd stop me getting out on it. I'm actually impressed by your sensibleness!lol, i just asked my friend and he said not to go on my own yet, oopsie!

You need to find someone on your side of town to get out with so, or get a lesson or two on your own bike to improve confidence.0 -

Mad to go to the TT next year after missing out this year, how cheap can it be done for. Have two mates who are up for it and we'd hopefully ferry over with tents and our bikes.
Just started a new job in Swords, living Mt. Merrion, went through town the first few days which is a good laugh but the M50 is still quicker, big increase in mileage for me. Have 190km to the current tank and the light isn't on yet, normally comes on around 180 and have never gone beyond 200km without filling up. If I get home tonight that's another 40km.
havnt done an accidental wheelie yet! lol
must look into the price of going to TT next year, guys who are going this year could give us an idea maybe?Thank this post if you think Zascar should be banned for bragging.
had to be done, hes probly just gona ban himself while hes away the weekend! :rolleyes:0 -

Did you go?
The only thing to watch out for is the throttle. I mean, when you let out the clutch when starting out, I've seen loads of people fall back slightly because the clutch grabs. And they try and pull themselves back into position, but they end up winding on the throttle and flooring it!
As long as you can control that you're grand. And that only happens the very first time they ride a bike.0 -

Hi guys!
yea i went but my friend drove around a bit with me and left me at swimming.
When i came out of swimming my bike was gone!
i nearly died, seriously!
the fella in the crc hid it on me, could have killed him! he said it was to teach me a lesson for not locking the bike! no one told me i could lock the bike!!! yea you're probly all laughing at me now
anyways, i drove home on my own, cut out once, was fine, as you said Paparazzo, its the trottle control i need, im afraid of it starting off and then i go too slow and cut out :S grr, ill get it!
ya know what else i keep doing? forgetting to turn off my bloody indicators!!! argh!
anyways, thats my stressful story, hows everyone here?0 -

Ya. That's perfectly normal. My trainer used to kill me for that. My mate used to do it all the time too. It goes without saying that it's v.dangerous of course.

i know its dangerous, i nearly kick myself everytime i realise ive had it on
im such a dipsoMaybe next year if you're good.;)

I'm trying to swing it. An old friend is bringing his sprog back from the UK for the first time at the weekend. I'll definitely spend time with him but it would be cool to brave the long haul to make the run if it is stays dry.
Are you going to it? Will you drive?
im just looking at the route...

I think it depends on how much you've been getting out and how comfortable you are with the idea of it. There can be a little pressure to make progress even if you're at the very back. I think if you aren't feeling it, you shouldn't do it but you should at least go as a pillion if you can. If you're feeling up to it, and the weather holds, you will enjoy it.I'll be heading with maameeo and a few others on Sunday. It's for a good cause to raise money for The National Maternity Hospital Intensive Care Unit (Unit 8) so if we could get a few more going along it's be great. Sign on is between 9:30 - 10:30 at Dublin Harley Davidson in Ballymount Ind Est just off the M50 and start out at 11.
Thanks for that. Weren't you about to explain why you don't show your face around here more often :pac:
TBH, I think I'll have to give this a miss unless they wadically weview the forecast. They said on R1 this morning that Sunday will have widespread heavy rain and wind The busa will still be off the road by then and I'll have no protection on the GSX... 0 -

The Don there said he'd babysit me if i go. I'm just worried about over taking and such, i havnt done anything like that yet and if it starts lashing ill be scared to death! eek! 0 -

I lurk. Too shy to show myself around real bikers I'll try to be a bit more proactive in the community from now on.
We won't push her, I remember what it was like my first time out not that long ago. If the weather is bad then your right that she would be better off sitting this one out and getting more experience the open road on dry days.cantdecide wrote: »I think it depends on how much you've been getting out and how comfortable you are with the idea of it.

That's very sweet of you. If the weather forecasts change, I'll be there with bells on.
You aren't obliged to either depart with or stay with the pack. If the weather turns or if you get cold feet, you can always pull over and leave the crowd off.I lurk. I'll try to be a bit more proactive in the community from now on.
Now see you doreal bikers are just teddy bears under those hard helmets
< puckers > I'm norra teddy bear
