6 years on the road and no points on my license :cool:

The TT99 took them all off :oops:

Roses are read, violets are blue, I weave my bike from side to side because I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.

Pretty sure I saw a guy on a gsx-r 1000 once start weaving without checking his blindspot and he nearly knocked his mate on an r6 off... Prolly not the best idea to do it when approaching traffic lights. In town. At night.

I just feel like people are too quick to judge me/my mates through what I say on here. Given people will always form their own opinions but feeling patronized is never nice eh.

Tally ho.

Yep, if this sort of stuff easily winds you up, stay away from visordown, gixerjunkies, any ninja forums and the aprilia forums.. Oh and any forums where the subject of discussion is about "how this guy had his front wheel in the air, his kneedown AT THE SAME TIME but I've nearly died more times than he nearly died so technically I'm allowed to call him nasty names and refer to the police as nobs because I'm clearly capable of riding at 130mph safely 'cos I've been riding bikes since I was a foetus, so they shouldn't have given me 6 points and a big fine.."

Ah I feel better for that... the jist of it is that there's some properly crap forums with properly crap people on there. Don't take any of them too seriously buddy.

I don't think I am anyone, and have been reminded of this on numerous occasions.

I always weave when i first set off because i was also informed/misinformed by seasoned biker friends that it was a good idea to get the heat into the tyres quickly, so its not just you hongman.

Heh, it doesnt wind me up per se, its not like I lose sleep over it, but I'd be lying if I said it didnt bug me at all!

Besides, that is just one very minor detail to an otherwise fantastic forum. That's why I can still see me being here even after I buy myself a Honda....

Such is life on a public forum

I never really belieived it made a difference, I was just checking that there wasnt some other reason I had overlooked.

Well it probably DOES make a difference, just not from the 100 yards they do it for ;)
