Well, for the second day in a row I used the bike to go into Wellington.:spudflip:
I can't wait to get rid of the learners label as I'm sick of having to take the long way in. I know what everyone will tell me - throw the plate away. But that's not me. I'm too set in my ways to start doing things like that.
I can actually get to work faster in the cage because it's motorway door to door but I'll endure the 'non motorway' route on the bike until I get the Restricted. Getting more confident everytime I go out and even lane split at the lights at the bottom of the gorge on the way home . There was a truck/trailer at the front and I knew I could leave him standing.
I never realised until starting to ride the bike how many plonkers there are out there in cages. They deliberately sit on the centre line to stop anyone getting past. I've always made a point of moving over to the left to let bikes through in the past. I certainly now appreciate the more sympathetic cagers who do give you room. I never really notice until now.
