I'm much slower at getting ready @ 5am
This is where my house is, i have to wheel it out of the back garden, then go through 2 gates and wheel it down the path until i find a dropped curb
I need a driveway
when coming home i have to ride it all the way up the path until i get to my house, such a pain in the arse

Better than parking it on the street though!
Yes, I need to take the cover out, unchain the bike, push it up the hill in my back garden then push it on the pavement till the car park, I then have to quietly leave as my neighbors loved my full system exhaust without the baffle and decated.
So yeah, a car is quicker in my case. believe it or not...

Just ride it out, you'll soon stop scratching your mirrors and exhaust on the way out :D
I spent 3 hours classroom training to start become a blood rider. I don't think it had the desired effect, as rather than being engaged and excited by the prospect I ended up just thinking that the role is patching up horrible inefficiencies in the NHS. I'm going to sleep on it.
Makes very little difference once you've done it once or twice, first time I got my SV out after using my YBR it felt like manouvoring a tank now it's fine.
Not quite as easy to pick up the back end and move it round though
Demon tweaks let me down on getting my order to me today so no nice new shiny chain sprockets and a general service were carried out
Might book Tuesday off as that's when they've said it'll be arriving the chain needs doing now rather than in another 200 miles time.

My bike is about 190kg wet and I used to struggle doing the sidestand 180 degree turn, now it's a piece of cake. As you said, it's all about knowing the balance of your bike. Unless you're pushing uphill as that's hard work!
So far I pulled a muscle in my back and one in my knee,pushing it due to conking out of fuel,the back had me bedbound never felt pain like it
Aslong as you keep it rolling and feather the clutch h youll be fine,just be ready with your feet ect

Took my nice carbon fibre light and noisy exhaust off and put the heavy steel factory quiet one back on. Strangely without having any exhaust in it didn't sound much louder than before!
Now,it's too quiet.
Tomorrow I need to take the hugger off, which will be fun!

I was thinking of giving it a go when I get more experience, you can speed on public roads legally and get paid for it. I forgot about the most important thing, you can actually save someone's life too.
I think I'll require a full DAS though, I'll do some reading on it. It seem like an interesting job to do.
