Instructors as examiners..Great idea In the early 90s I took 10 lessons with an instructor who was strict but fair. I failed my first practical test mainly due to nervousness but passed on the second attempt a month later. Found out after i passed that my instructor was a Police rider. His critical observations made me a safe rider. I have never dropped any of my bikes and have a clean licence, no endorsements ,speeding tickets. etc.
Having a separate testing body stops or at least prevents dodgy licensees being handed out. Like you get with the CBT. I agree with what you're saying about the cost, insurance companies are taking the mick these days. Someone should put a cap on what they are charging. Bikes are supposed to be a cheap way to get around not this. Also HOW HAVE YOU NOT HAD THIS RAIN! I'm in Southport and if my camera wasn't waterproof It would be ruined by now.
You've got some sensible ideas about the bike test. Unfortunately there's nothing sensible about the test we have now lol I found it very difficult and very expensive. They say its not, but it seems the examiners are out to stop you passing. Mine was a little Hitler, who didn't seem happy at all when I did pass. If I'm honest if I knew what it was going to be like I wouldn't have even bothered. Thankfully I have a full licence now and don't have to bother anymore. I've heard rumours about the licensing system changing, but whether or not it will is anyone's guess.
that would mess up quadricycle rules and roll back for drivers to get rid of 50cc. It's a matter of risk balance for the novice. If you pass the moped test you can drive an ami at 16 and heave quadricycles are linked into a restricted licence as well. One post I saw that made me think is the fact that mopeds are the only motor vehicles you can use for hire and reward on a provisional, should this be the case? The problem is that parents are not riding and kids then are facing a higher barrier to getting on two wheels because "danger"
That servicing doesn't sound right at all. I don't have that bike personally, but it's usually thousands of miles after the first service. Does the bike have a service reminder on the dash?
I thought the same same thing buddy, apparently it does have a service reminder on the dash. But they said. If it comes on ring us and we will talk you through how to reset it. Again to me raising a red flag, as they did not reset after the first service. Won't be buying from them again, hope all is well buddy.
@danalexanghel 837 miles zero problems no rattles or squeaks, if anything the bike is feeling alot better now the engine is almost run in, Best bike i have bought so far buddy.
@@74dibo i have a linhai buck adv 125 with around 200miles very similar the only diffrence is the body trim a bit, back suspension and has abs+tcs and engine seems to be Yamaha Nmax sourced from what I can tell. This Lexmoto xdv what engine does it have? I noticed that honda engines have the oil strainer on the left side around the transmission case and yamaha have it under the engine.

I've had 2 bikes . There was so much problems with getting them correctly insured that when one was stolen I decided to not replace it.

6:30: what you're saying about instructors and testers is so open to cheating and corruption................
