Just remember - if you haven't seen the whites of the drivers eyes - assume they haven't seen you. Take care.....
I would endorse Stolly’s point. You can learn a whole heap and experience will teach you a whole lot more but nothing bears appreciating your relative invisibility on the road. A bike can disappear behind a door pillar the way a car never can. If you can’t see another driver, he can’t see you. Don’t get in blind spots and certainly never stay there. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy the freedom you feel from riding a motorcycle. A lot of good advice above, but I will add 1 more. If you see a car at a junction. Assume it will pull out in front of you. They look but don’t see Motorcycles. Even ones with headlights on and riders wearing reflective jackets.
karenh All good advice. But as much as we all care about you I assume you have been out there doing your thing. So carry on you're great and keep us all in the picture. And plenty of pic's to please us old used to be's. Ride Free Joe
Sorry to say at the moment an Honda 125 until I have restored my dads 1970 T120 bonnie and got some experience and passed my big bike test
Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in. To keep the inmates happy we will need photos. Well done Tucker
Well good luck to you, you have all already had loads of advise so just enjoy the freedom of Motorcycling and be safe. Look forward to pictures of the Bonnie and even the Honda!
Well done on youCBT, just remember to keep learning as you continue to ride and build on you experience and you should stay safe...... Wessa
If you are sitting at a junction waiting to pull out onto a road to join it or cross and a car (vehicle) is approaching with its indicator flashing as to turn into your road do not pull out expecting it will turn, saw a nasty accident on a junction I used to live on, the driver who pulled out was deemed to be at fault not the car on the road even though he failed to turn his indicator off. I NEVER trust indicators, they only serve the purpose of getting my attention.
