Sprint A Newbie 'Find'

Thanks for sharing, great tip :upyeah:

 

I like that idea - I pick my sprint up next week, and I have a set of Oxford soft luggage which I use on my SV ... Have to try them for fit !

 

Hope you had a good trip...

 

Got to agree, I love it, from the moment you roll down to the front of the ferry queue. Bloody great. :biggrin:

 

I normally go via euro tunnel........

 

I always find it harder to get used to riding back here than it is getting used to the roads over there! Just feels more natural, somehow. Roundabouts are a hoot!

 

yeah i prefer left hand corners.....

 

Apparently (according to a police rider's views on this) it's because we don't like putting our soft bits towards oncoming traffic! The opposite corners would be true abroad but maybe it's an inbuilt thing by now?

 

I agree. I have been crossing over the channel on the bike for 15 years and it always feels natural going over but have to give it a lot more thought when I return. I have a theory. Watch what people do when they walk down the street or along a corridor and they have to pass somebody walking in the opposite direction. They invariably pass on the right. I find this applies when cycling along cycle routes and climbing stairs. I think it is something inate in us.
