I saw you doing circles at the end. Would using two parking spots be good for practicing U-Turns?

[CaptCrashIdaho]

That would be an 18 to 20 foot U-turn--a very good one indeed!

When not able to pull through or turn in (most of the time), I back in. I made it a habit after I got laughed at for parking "wrong" at a bar. :) Good natured laughing, ribbing and friendly advice, actually...so yeah, back in.

ahh well i cant afford car insurance they want liek £4500 :|

like wtf?

so my bike is my only form of trasportation

its a proper little work horse, does everything i need it to. and will smoke most things off the line

great for a 125, dosent looks liek 1 though

check out the derbi cross city 125cc, what im currently riding

looks like a 250, and its really comfortable and also reliable

any way take care bro ride safe

They're not best pleased i must admit, nah i mean i don't pop to shops on it lol, i'd use a car for that, bikes are too easy to knick or push over and w.e and i've seen so many things that piss me off, like people sitting on bikes in the street and having pictures taken, i don't want that happening to mine, and like i said i'd be going for rides, not just to the shops

[jimbie1don]

so when your getting some shopping or in collage you dont leave ur bike??

think secruity would be a bit mad at me if i rode around morrisons tbf

[hgjisnfdlishdjthlre]

I get my L plates on sunday, i've got a yamaha R125, my dads got a R1. about the cctv.. you wear a baseball cap or or a hoodie ect, the cctv is useless, you'll watch and see, oh.. someone is stealing my bike, and you'll never know who it is i don't leave my bike anywhere, but then i don't need to i use it for fun only not as transport. keep safe.

I ride in the UK (Manchester). I think some people are anti bikes and will do things like veer over to the white line to block you from lane splitting. Others, occasionally, will drastically move out of the way; either they're bikers themselves, or they just don't want their car scratched. I regularly park in parking spaces, though I'll try and find somewhere off road/parking space, such as next to the shop window. But it just depends on what's available and easily accessible

im bron and bread english

lived there all my life, and me and my dad both ride bikes. and in teh UK we are teh most whated country in the world so where ever you park you bike. there will be cctv

i have a 125 thats on L plates and my dad has a hayabusa, we park next to each other in 1 spot.
