• IME filtering isn't a day 1 skill.

    I did maybe 5 months on a 125 after 10+ years of cycling, and it took me 3 months to chuck it down the middle of stationary traffic.

    Once I got a big bike it took me a few days to get used to its larger turning circle and its weight, before I could bomb it down the steel corridor on the M25.

  • This is exactly the issue , he’s got a bike not easy to gain the experience or confidence on .
    If you ride it like a drive there’s no advantage and all the disadvantage of two wheels .
    I’m trying to convince him onto a smaller bike/ scooter .
    There is also something about a 1250GS and the extra lights that seem to part traffic , wether it’s visibility or involuntary impersonating plod .

    I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a strobe flash option on the spots I have.

    What he needs is a low mileage 250cc yam scooter sold by another forumite (and KWCC member) in a really crap stealth ad, I reckon
