You guys certainly are entertaining - thankfully I can tell who is being a complete idiot and who is not.. i think

If unsure what IT , is, PM me.

How many years does it take to have enough site involvement to send or reply to a personal message anyway?

Are you sure though, some of us were only released from the asylum recently

Just keep posting in the forum, once your post count reaches a magic number you can do PMs. Can't remember what the number is nowadays, thought it was 20 at one stage?? Anybody to correct me?

This place is like any other forum, some good, some bad. Some of us visit daily, others periodically at weird intervals. Feel free to ask questions, but also feel free to use the search function. You'll find some members get snarky when a newbie asks the same question that 467 people have asked in the past year alone, hence the search function prompt.

Probably the best advice you'll get is to do proper training course for your licence, less painful than learning the hard way. Speed isn't what impresses, better to have sound skills. Oh and remember to have fun

Good advice caspernz. I am doing a proper training course through the Dunedin Driving School and the instructor seemed knowledgeable. I'm sure it was just me being a newbie to motorcycles. I completely agree about having sound skills, as opposed to flying around like an idiot.

Good stuff chap, sounds like you've got it sussed.

[caseye]

But on this particular topic you actually agree with me as we have both said he needs to kick the gear lever harder and it will be harder to shift if the motor is cold which was actually posted by another poster before both of us. Maybe you are just jealous I posted the advise before you did.

Really?
Could have sworn I said."Just a matter of knowing what to do really,no real need to panic, be gentle with you machine, put it in properly an if it ;doesn't take, do it again and wait for the click.
Go out and enjoy your ride. master it and take no shit from it, it's there to do what you want"
I did previously say. "If the bike is cold, she'll not change up most of the time, without being kicked hard".
Context is important.
So you see, I have not agreed with you at all.
Now , go fuck yourself.

Site disclaimer for newbies.

One guy who teaches on here says it can take up to 2 years to learn to ride at his school to an advanced level which in my opinion is nuts.

Don't listen to anything this pillock says, on the off chance it does say something worth listening to, someone else will give you the same advice in a much more logical fashion anyway.

I'm pretty sure you're up with the play already op and has been said ad infinitum caution needs to be exercised with how much weight you give to someones advise on the nets.

In a nut shell. When you were born you could shit, piss and scream. Everything else you can do now had to be learned.

Oh, kicking a bike into gear is right up their with kicking your Mom.

Common reasons for clunky gear changes :-

Rider error

Clutch adjustment

Chain adjustment

That's how they made them

It's knackered
