Cheers for all your comments guys.
Just to let you know im allways wanting to improve things. On my own on the bike (now bearing in mind ive only been riding a year) im quietly confident and have a nice comfort zone, as with anything new im wanting to make myself fully aware and ride to the best of my current abilities before taking the mrs on the back. Obviously if i wasnt happy about it or if she wasnt then we wouldnt be doing it and we wouldnt be having this conversation.
If im on my own then yea things just seem to happen and work well. its only when ou slow things down and analyse them that you realise how bad things are. If i can get it right then by understanding the whole process then in a situation where something untowards happened then i would be more fully prepaired. Just as a test think about your ride home tonight and each and every gear change. see how you might improve it and thats what im thinking about
there are 99% of bikers out there that in my mind are better than me and 98% of car drivers. however reality is very different.
Ophic cheers for the advice about waiting for it to drop after the blip, that was the type of advice i was after really. Something to take note of for my ride home tonight
btw i can clutchless change on the bike, its a damn sight easier than on a car. And theres no need to double-de-clutch on a modern car gearbox dave, your just wasting time.
Cheers guys
ill let you know how i get on....
although i am quite nervous
