License only allows you how to learn to ride. Don't see how doing some tricks in a car park is going to stop people planting sports 6'es in walls when bottling out on a corner at warp factor 10, which is main type of accident AFAIK.

very effing well!
Bit shakey lower speed and sharp turning but I'll get the hang of it. Just leathering up and off to nottingham with a mate.
Spotted an svs in silver go past the shop and see my bike not sure if they waved or pointed at it to their pillion.
brum brum!

Cool mate. Enjoy. The slow control comes with practice.

Yeah man that was fun managed to get 100 out of it (on the clocks) on my private stretch of motorway simulation. Racked up about 100 miles, took it easy, nice whether really nice ride out. My hips hurt though
Few things I noticed were, the idle seemed to hunt a lot and if I'd blasted it then stopped at the lights it'd idle at about 2-2.5k whereas it was usually idling a 1.5k. Also the clutch seems to stick sometimes (even when hot) and go forwards when I rev it in first with the clutch down. Also the boots I lent off my mate fitted fine but I just couldn;t change gear in them there wasn;t enough flex in the ankle to move in there at all. They were crosser type boots, are all boots like this so I need to adjust the lever? Or is it just because they were crosser boots.
Oh and naked!? god it takes getting some used to at 70mph+

Crosser boots are fine you get used to them. Could be choke plungers or a bit of an air leak or something. Clutch needs lubing and adjusting.

I've got a touring screen for sale.

It was my own stupid fault, I took the screen off lol - next time i'm on the motorway it's going on. I'll have to check for leaks and stuff then cheers.
Oh and I adjusted the clutch and greased all the bits but the cable, maybe it's that?
