Purpose of the video aside, i must say you dealt with that scenario very well at 16:45, no road rage, no swearing, not even a word about it. I want to be like this 😂
@@visualsbymilo 😅 it’s because he acknowledged his fault immediately and I ain’t perfect either so no harm no foul. if not for having just passed a cyclist I would have been more centre in the bus lane and gone around but this happens fairly often and if I was to get mad everytime I’d prob stop riding. Just remember, it’s not personal but they are all trying to kill you, it’s your duty to stay a step ahead.
London is supposed to be anti-car but you wouldn’t know it looking at the traffic, of course it looks worse with all those empty bus lanes ! As you get older things wear out, fall out or stop working completely (!) but at least insurance gets cheaper ! The last time I commented I shared how much insurance I paid when I was 21 but what I didn’t say was my previous policy ran out about 3-4 months before my 21st birthday which was in January. My insurance went down a lot at 21 so I took my bike off the road for those 3-4 months until I reached my birthday and took the bus. I was mighty glad to get back on my bike after that long wait !
I did think London was anti everything combustion, but now they are going after electric too. all about the money. As I get older, i've fallen apart but haven't really seen them insurance savings yet. hopefully one day (sheds a tear). Yh when it comes to insurance there is only so much you can do, waiting a few months isn't a bad idea. and for others id say, get your license as soon as so that you can build those years.
@@TKRydezz Been looking at the R3, N400 or CBR500R. I’ve got a few insurance quotes for these type of bikes though and they are a killer, gonna try ringing them up after I purchase a bike, and try and get it down, unless u have any advice?
@@NK-ds8qo call and speak, but security devices help ok with quotes. Proper locks, ground anchors and a way to track the bike helps too. Going for the smaller CC hike at first might be the way to go and build your lo claims further. Also, advanced training like “IAM” should help too. Give you cheaper insurance and gain some guided experience. The R3 and Ninja be if g smaller than the CBR might be the ones to lol at more to as insurance will be a bit bitter priced.
Fire bike bro, im based in mile end, pretty sure ive seen you pass through - I sold my mt07 before moving to London and dying to get another bike. Hows it like riding a bigger sports bike in the city? I'm concerned about all the cameras mainly, as well as theft. Need to do my full license asap so I can pick up something nice second hand if I find a good deal.
I'm the same age as you too 22😬. I know I don't like talking about it too sometimes lol. I'm finally getting my head down to do full course after so many years of riding, and riding bigger bikes 😬. Good informative video bro 👊🏼✊🏼👊🏼
@@YZF_TUGARIC nice, feels good to be young Innit. I’ll be looking out for that over on insta. You gonna be ready for next season? Even if the bikes the same, sorting the license is the key thing.
@@lordazurusch.9550 it happens, have you got any form of license? With driving, I always encouraged people around me to just bite the bullet and get your licence regardless of whether you get a car/ need a car. That way, by the time you do get a car/ bike, you’ve had your licence for a time and it helps with insurance as your not considered a brand new driver/ rider. Have you got a licence of any type?
@@TKRydezz sadly no, just couldn't be arsed getting a license here where I live cuz the licence for motorcycle is tiered. To be able to ride bigger powerful bikes you need to be 24+ years of age so I just put it off
I didn't realise there were that many hoops nowadays, it was a full licence @ 17 restricted to 33bhp for two years and then any bike thereafter. No Wonder motorcycling Is dying out in some respects.
I already have a2 license I got it April 14th 2023, I am also turning 24 on April 4th 2025, do I need to do another test or are you saying after I held valid a2 license for 2 years which will be by April 14th 2025 I can go upto A bikes?
@@S6ryder essentially yes, from April 14th you can start the process to upgrade to a full A. Still have to do your Mod 1 and Mod 2 on a larger bike which is at least 585cc and at least 50kw/ 67bhp. Once that’s done then the world is yours. As you’ve been riding, you shouldn’t need to do much training to prepare. Your almost there bro….
@@quakslikeaduck my first car after getting my licence was an M reg 306 with no power steering that I paid £200 for. Some companies quoted me over 5k on the phone and had the audacity to ask me how I wanted to proceed. Not much has changed and the savings you make for having no claims is in no way proportional to the amount spent on insurance over the years.
The amount of hoops they make younger riders jump through to get to a bigger cc bike is ridiculous these days, doesn’t encourage riding when you can pass your car test at 17 and literally buy any power of car. Ride safe mate.
@@themartiandefender2128 if my family was rich and I was spoilt…. There no doubt I would of wrapped a high powered car around a tree at 17. But for bikes, I understand the restrictions. Car can do more damage to others, but on a bike, you can throw yourself down the road with the flick of a wrist. Thanks mate. I’ll try ride safe…
@@TKRydezzSo why Is a 24 year old with absolutely no experience whatsoever allowed to go straight for their full A class? Whilst on the other hand a rider who’s been riding since they were 16 has to still jump through these hoops till they reach 21? Same test but 4 times in a row. CBT@16yrsOld A1@17yrsOld A2@19yrsOld Full A@21yrsOld (If they’ve held the A1 or A2 for 2 years they are allowed to do their full A category at 21+. Whilst a person who’s 24 and over can do straight DAS which Is a really silly concept.) There is no element to why a 24yr old can jump straight onto a 1000cc whilst a 20yr old with 4 years road experience can’t. The progression system that’s in place for younger riders should be in place for not only young riders but for NEW riders in general.
@ one thing I’ve known for a while now is that policy makers, designers, planners and people like this, make up rules, designs and create instructions all from the safety and comfort of their desks. Rules of the roads probably made by people who don’t drive and probably the same for bikes. It sounds and looks good on paper but doesn’t quite align with the reality of most people in the real world. Age is often considered a metric for maturity and I think that this is the angle they have taken. Protect the youth as much as they can but once your 24 most of you’re development has taken place and the rest is on you. Also, good luck getting insured in such a bike at 24 with a brand new licence and no history. But yeah I’m not far from agreeing that at any age, if you’ve just started riding, having a 2 stage process isn’t a bad thing or make the direct access course a bit more comprehensive to incorporate more of the dangers associated. So on one hand, I think I get where they are coming from, but on the other hand, I think that if you have had you A1 from 17 (2 years) and want to progress to an A licence, there should be like an enhanced test available that would allow you to go straight up to an A instead of you having to do an A1 and then wait another 2 years as many will probably still ride the same bike anyway. More money for schools, more people taking up riding and more happy riders. Of course they may be some downsides but hey.
@TKRydezz when I learned to ride the test was one part only but I did an RAC training course run by motorcycle cops, that training was very similar to CBT nowadays and stood me in good stead. Training is good but maybe not so many stages to go up in cc. I progressed up in cc driven by insurance costs etc so was a natural progression as I got older. Enjoying your content mate, keep up the great work !
@ sounds so much simpler and yeah all the stages put some off but worth it in the ends for those who really wanna ride. Not really much we can do but roll with it
London absolutely causes high insurance prices, in North London I was paying £1400 a year with 1 years No claims for third party, when I moved out of London I pay £215 a year 2 years no claims fully comp 😂 it's a joke
@@mike-e-moto4615 and they wonder why people commit insurance fraud…. Me is never even think about insuring anything anywhere others than where I live. It’s absurd and why people do it is beyond me. But £1400 down to £215 is even to make me pack my bags now 😭😭😭
@@YZF_TUGARIC apparently it’s a Gixxer thing. Only finding that out recently. My last big bike was a Gixxer 600 and I didn’t know people were doing that 🤷🏾♂️
200 CBT 400 module 1 plus 400 module 2 and the theory thing 23 = 1023 pounds assuming you pass everything the first time otherwise you'll dig deep in your wallet.
At 17 you can also ride a 125cc on just a CBT, but must display L-plate and no pillion passenger
yes I missed that part, just mentioned when you don't have to have them on. nice one.
