As Police Class 1 drivers/riders are trained to do just that I don't think they could say much as long as you kept it safe.

Pile of cement or something due to the roadworks?

I just mean that i don't give cages the oppotunity to give "US" a bad name.

In my area a bloke on a scooter was killed by a car driver on the WRONG side of the road.
The car driver was trying to blame the scooter rider for being on the wrong side of the road.

I am not saying don't what you do but be safe.

Sorry if i offended any one but they are my views.

You haven't answered my question - how long have you been riding?

It's perfectly legal I'm doing my IAM (

) and it's encouraged.

IAM is one thing I have sworn I will never do. I ride instinctively, not to a system that demands more brain distraction.

I thought the same until my insurance premium quotes came back with highs of £12,800 and lows of £2500. Started doing it because sheffield council paid for it and to be honest it's not much different but you have to stick to the speedlimit react to hazards earlier (which I've noticed an improvement in my driving for) and you have to put the handbrake on before putting it into neutral

Knew I shouldn't have mentioned the IAM!
