Same thing about the European Exam for me, now I am training alone. A lot of morons, but things are getting better. A lot of riders without license, the most popular bike is Yamaha R1, recommended first (and sometimes the last) bike..
Think your own head, do you really feel like you are ready for ...

Funny, my 'high standard European License' consisted of me paying the $1000 for the mandatory '26 hours' of training. That was followed by about 5 hours of parking lot training where I rode around in circles by myself, and a parking lot test in which the examiner didn't even watch me (was talking ...

Re: 9 Months and a lot of cash & i finally got it.......
Dude, I'm happy for you that you got your license. Seriously. But you tend to come in here with a chip on your shoulder, then someone knocks the chip off and the flame wars ensue. What would you expect?
U know I/we could go on forever with this discussion. I openly agreed with ...

Glad to hear about the license. However, since you keep bringing this point up I can't help but ask. How do you think you'd do on a 600cc sportbike before taking any of that instruction?
It may not be a possibility in Europe, but it's a common reality in the States. It's not uncommon for people to ...

What they all said plus you may have been turning too sharply. I put down my new FZ1 two weeks ago while practicing my u-turns and figure 8's. I tried to use the front brake to control my speed. Bike started to go and I just couldn't hold it. It all happened so quickly at 5mph or less. I have also ...

I dropped it and I still dont understand how????
I was riding the bike from the garage to the front door at walking speed so I could park the bike at the front and put my gear on while the engine was warming up.
I was just about to turn right to park and I suddenly had the bike on the ground. Honestly I have no clue what happened. I was so slow ...
