Newbie or intermediate?
Heres a question for the experienced guys and girls (gotta b pc these days lol), when do you consider a newbie rider to be an intermedieate rider? Is it by how many years riding or miles covered? Iv been riding for 2 years and 3 months (im 19) and covered around 11,000 miles. What category would you say i was?

Re: Newbie or intermediate?
Its all relative isn't it?
Compared to one of the wrinkly old men like Peter Henry or Lozzo, you're a pup. However compared to someone who's just passed, you're quite experienced. Considering the average British annual mileage(on a bike) is something silly like 2000, you could consider yourself experienced. It also depends what sort of riding you do. I know a few blokes from the TVSF section who must have covered a good few thousand(towards 10k maybe?) miles since passing less than a year ago, but they have done the vast majority of their riding commuting into London. Thats not the same as tackling twisties is it? By now they're experienced at riding in rush hour/filtering in London, but maybe less so on country roads. I've been riding for 4 years and i'd say that i'm still a new(-ish) rider. |
