Default My riding.

Well I been thinking a little about what my riding is like. What other road users think to me and all that nonsense... So I thought id ask you fella's/ lady on here that have rode with me the other month what you think?

Was I smooth, predictable, holding you up etc etc etc. Cheers for any feed back.

Didn't notice anything the other week in particular, you just looked fairly relaxed which is good.

Same question about me

You seemed fine. You seemed as though you were just out for a cruise, but I think the Naked bikes make it look that way. Only little thing is you did some overtakes that made me cringe a little, nothing big though.

Not a major amount, I suppose its to be expected with me having a bigger bike. Indeed you may hear me. Have to see.... or listen.

Your riding simes was good, I was supprised to find out you were only a new rider.

Only passed my test in November! It was really good following people and watching their riding; I learnt a lot that day.

Greek, i thought you were taking it pretty gingerly through the corners. I was loosing you on the straights but I could easily catch up through the bends. I put this down to the weather, and the unfamiliarity of the bike. I would have tried to take you in the corners but it really wasnt worth it and there was no way I would have been able to do it in a straight line as we saw. Lines were ok though.

Indeed,it was my first propper ride out on the bike. I was taking it easy in the corners, just got new tyre's, those were pretty shot... I can tell now that that was the case, new ones are great. I was often following people and didnt know the roads too well so didnt want to go by people and get lost. 2 year since I was up there . Ill deffo get back up there again to learn the roads some more.

To be honest I didnt realise I was that much quicker in the streights was I pulling away from you out of the corners?
