My bike wont go quick enough!!!
No its not my SV but the putt putt 125 that is being used for "madula 1" of the new test!
Apparently it wont get to the speed needed in time for the swerve test Why should the rider be penalised for that and have to use another bike for that part of the test What about all the scooter riders that struggle as well Anyway I'm wishin Matt good luck for tomorrow and hope the weather stays dry and that he comes back in one piece ready for the next part of his test - mind if he does bin it like others at least my putt putt 125 will be in 1 piece |

Re: My bike wont go quick enough!!!
Is that because the test place you went to doesn't have a big enough area? Or will all test centres be the same?

Re: My bike wont go quick enough!!!
....Within a short distance. I know on some bikes you have to redline first and hold it in high revs at second to make it.

Re: My bike wont go quick enough!!!
Reminds me, I saw a wee 50cc trail type thing in town the other week, gunned it away from the lights, got through 1st, 2nd and hit the limiter in 3rd, hadn't even gone forty metres or got up to 30mph, made me smile thinking if I'd done the same on the daytona I'd have been doing ~130 down the high street
