    Difficulty in lifting a bike is proportionate to the size of the crowd watching.

    More people watching, the harder it gets.

    Especially when the bike is yellow and blue, with matching disco lights.

    hey Rustus, you may know the best place to get mirrors for the 1150RT (apart from bmw nz, they are far too expensive)

    not that I am suggesting you may have broken a few but, you know, heavy bike plus time = lie down sometimes

    motobins.co.uk

    motorworks.co.uk

    Broken mirrors didn't happen much on the troll bikes as they had wide authority engine bars.

    They also pop off if put under pressure, so remove themselves instead of breaking.

    Can't say I've ever had to buy one.

    mine popped off just after the weight semi crushed it. Still works but looks crap.

    those engine bars would have been useful.

    Stop skipping leg day bro.
    To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.

    Though yes I do need to get proper instruction. Mates or random people on KB lol offering and all that is fine and dandy but yes, your right instruction would be good.

    I want to be a statistic. A statistic of riders who have not killed themselves or others and have not seriously damaged their bikes but enjoys riding on a regular basis.

    I do tho still want to know the other stats.
    Female instructors are totally awesome.. My student last week, having ridden since the age of 14, now 60, learnt a technique for bike control that he had NEVER heard of before, and is still smiling about it from ear to ear.. If you would like to avoid being a negative statistic, call me, and we can develop a strategic learning plan, that's just for you..

    Remember, that GOOD QUALITY TRAINING stays with you forever. It doesn't get sold with your bike, or expire with your rego. It stays with you FOREVER..

    It's not the message that is DELIVERED, but the message that is RECEIVED that is important.

    Female instructors are gold. Just not very common.

    But dont think they are any more special than blokes. There are poor male instructors and I'm sure there are proportionally as many poor female ones.

    Being a shit hot rider doesnt make someone a good instructor. I happen to think I am a better Instructor than I am a rider.

    Instructional techniques vary for various demographics. A good instructor will differentiate and adapt.

    Whatever. Turn up to a lesson with donuts, you'll be fine.
