evening all

 

that wind n rain is sh1te

still rode home over the barton bridge on my scooter

i had to slow down though, it nearly blew me into a car a couple of times
what p1sses me off is the car drivers that try and close the gap, and some jump on the horn
trying to make me wait in the traffic jam t0ssers
if there not happy, theres an old saying ?
if you can't beat em, join em

most cars now know about the bikes and move right over in the fast lane
this leaves a clear stretch of tarmac for bikes
its fookin great passing all the cars sat there or crawling along
might have to get a better scooter, i've got a honda in atm, don't know wether to fix it and keep it

 

being an ex-biker meself i always move over - no point in trying to hold them up?

anyway question for you 'H'

Do you think Bike riders make better car drivers???

 

moneys enjoyed the amita thread from yesterday
good do the chief copied it all

 

the one area that makes them better car drivers is reading the road and traffic
because your so vunerable on a bike you have to learn to read the road ahead, i think there would be a lot less accidents if ALL 16yr olds were made to have scooters for a year to get a car license

 

it p1sses me off the amount of car drivers that drive with there eyes on the end of there bonnet
especially as i drive an HGV, the stop/start driving, no indication, last minute manoevres , they wouldn't expect to get away with this kind of driving if they had ridden 2 wheels for a year

i always thought the HGV test would be far better for car drivers to learn and do
the main reason is reading the road ahead, because HGV's don't accelerate quickly they want you to read the road and slow down slightly to pass obsticles, ie; parked car, you watch most car drivers, they'll fly upto it and jump on the brakes ,
in a hgv you have to watch oncoming traffic, you indicate to overtake , picking your time perfectly to coincide with oncoming traffic,
so you don't stop and nor does the traffic

 

I've said that, if they live then they can sit their car test!!!

anyway off to the airport

laters

 

Been thinking of taking my HGV Howard - know any good schools???

 

in a hgv you have to watch oncoming traffic, you indicate to overtake , picking your time perfectly to coincide with oncoming traffic,
so you don't stop and nor does the traffic


at a guess i would think the IAM test teaches the same kind of driving

 

theres quite a few now chief
i used north manchester hgv training , i think , it was a while ago

when i did it , you could go straight in for the class 1, then you are licensed to drive anything,
now you have to do class 2 first then move up

i did it in a week, 4 days driving for 8/9 hours, fifth day test

 

i think you the hgv driving would suit you chief

arm out the window , looking down into the convertable cars on motorway

 

i'm thinking of doing 360' excavator and telescopic allterain forklift license
i can drive them, i should have got them years ago when they were cheap
pay isn't bad
£10-15 an hour minimum , hours are usually 7.30am to 4.30pm, mon -thusday
friday finish is usually about 2pm, and saturday 12noon, but you get paid for full days
and you get 2 tea breaks and dinner
and travelling expenses to each site

 

dont think about it just do it man

 

wahay 4 days off, my overtime has been cancelled

 

i can now get really drun on sunday

 

no-one around

 

weather is supposed to be poo all weekend

 

im getting a lie in tomorrow as well that is if jake doesnt scream the house down an wake me up anyway

 

been on some sites looking at cossie's, i just need to pursuade the wife that its more practical than the scoob

 

oh and also the small fact that i want to invest 9k in one plus my car wonder what reply she will give

 

found a lovely limited edition monte one, fecking mint as ****

 

think it was about 16k though, the thing is you just dont lose money on them, you buy a scoob for 15k and a year later its worth 10k

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm just found kylie on sky singing away with her lovely ****

 

what a woman that is, she dont have much luck with the men either, i think the wife would understand if she came home to find me in bed with kylie

 

think about it though, you could carry her around under your arm she's that small, then just plonk her on an away you go

 

my head is hurting, i think i need some liquid refreshments, i need to get some beer down me tomorrow night so i dont get as drunk on sunday then

 

kylie and dani at once, now thats a dream an a half

 

i went to see robbie williams years ago in the mem and kylie came on stage to sing kids with him, i swear she was looking my way an giving me the eye she wanted a bit of the money love

 

if you was one of her dancers you'd have to have a sly grope and say **** all, i reckon you'd get away with it
