KirriePete Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 thats a poweranger bike :L my street cred will go waaaaaaaaaaaaay down .... and a Ducati clone isn't? I'm afraid street cred and 125's don't normally go together, except amongst the McDonalds generation of fawning teen girlies who think a Saxo with a fart cannon and more power in the ICE than the engine is 'well sick, innit?'..... oh look, I've had a Friday rant already!* Bottom line, get through your test on any old 125 then get an SRX400 and learn that going fast isn't always about ultimate speed .... Old Fart Lecture over, you may now return to normality. *Rant generated thanks to a little tosser on a "sporty" 125 (oxymoron?) who just wouldn't overtake a friggin' tractor this morning .... I ended up blowing him into the weeds in my French non-turbo diesel van with windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reply to your point to someone on a sporty 125 this would probarbly because their learners and don't want to overtake anyone due to the fact they may be nervous on this and overtaking them really wouldn't of helped the fact this is the sort of thing that causes problems with people getting rear ended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the ones that do overtake but obviously if they aren't and you can see their nervous you wouldn't then cause them something else to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to abort the first overtake as the manoeuvre became marginal, yes I'd been hanging back that long. The second time I was actually holding back other traffic to give the 125 a bit of protection from other less generous road users, still no sign of an overtake so I went. Let's be clear here, I'm not talking about a moped which may just be able to pass a tractor, but a 125 capable of at least 70, sitting behind a tractor doing 20-25mph on a 60mph road with good visibility. Whoever did their CBT wants a good slap for letting someone out with this low a level of training/confidence (it wouldn't have been Scotriders, Heather & Alan encourage learners to use their machines properly, as my son can testify!). Record set straight, back to topic ..... on here? Fat chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that kind of defeats the objective of riding a bike? Fastest my bike has ever gone 55mph.... on a trailer none the less speed isn't everything it's the love of the machine that makes it fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
