Please, I beg you, please if you are serious about riding a motorcycle, realise that you would be in charge of and responsible for not just yourself but everyone else you may come into contact with on the road. If someone goes into you, you can get badly hurt, if you go into someone, you can get badly hurt.


Seriously, you want just anyone to teach you how to ride a geared vehicle? I expect from the phrasing of your question you are already a scooter rider (and I know that there are as big as 850cc scooters on the road) so you may have some road sense, but I would still strongly advise you train with a professional. Off to Metropolis you go.


Ride safely fellow biker!

If he's riding a learner bike which will be a 125 then it doesn't require an expensive course to learn to ride that. The CBT is one day of training anyway. He can learn to ride in a car park, with some cones, and then do a CBT once confident handling the bike.

To the question - if you have been riding a scooter as the question suggests and your question is more about actually using the controls on a geared bike then fine, I can happily show you. But back to my question - do you have a bike? (as you ain't using mine!)


(Back in my day you just rode around until you got the hang of it......!)

      Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.

      I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.

      I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
