- So this is something ive been wanting to do for years and ive been putting it off, but the time is right.. and ive decided to jump right into the deep end.
Im doing my bike licenses and im going to show the whole process, now I have absolutely zero inclination to drive around on a 125cc, so were going straight for my direct access.. so the right thing to do is buy a ZX6R super bike before I even pass right? of course it is.
Say hello to my ZX6R 636.. and lets go and get my bike license :)
It’s been nice watching your vids for the last few years Lee, where do you want your ashes scattered 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I was literally about to comment something like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done, doom mongers. Nice to see you all stuck together. 👍
Now that you’re a biker, you’re gonna quickly realise how frustrating it is when drivers are using their phone. Don’t be that guy bro, stay safe. Happy riding 👊🏼
You’ll realise all that chasing performance cars at a silly cost was a waste of time after riding a decent size bike 😂
agreed totally, this is about to become a bike channel lol
@@JRRetroRebuilds yeah i wasted too much on cars i perceived as fast (e46 m3) then bought a 2k bog standard cbr600 that pissed all over it 😂
id still rather have a 250bhp car than have a 1000cc bike ... and yes ive ridden bikes all my life
@@bikesnjosh i have a 300bhp impreza and a 1000cc bike. Why choose when you can have both 🤔
@bikesnjosh I'm with you, too many people cars that shouldn't even have a push bike let alone a car, someone pulled out in front of me on my bike n I've not had a bike since
Yes mate , glad u got a bike. Ur summer will now be alot better. Enjoy
Was fully imagining Jay from the inbetweeners when you strapped your helmet on for the first ride 😂
Practice figure 8's, small and larger one's, changing up and down a gear between the loops. Awesome bike, have fun
Get in mate! I’m all for some bike content. You’ve actually inspired me to pull my finger out and get my bike license this year👍
Got my bike licence about 2.5 years ago now and loved every second getting the licence, I’ve got a triumph street triple 675 RX in black and red. Fantastic bike. Best thing ever riding a bike, it’s a toy like yours so you can just have it sat there till you need it, it’s brilliant fun. Ride safe !! GO TO TWO WHEEL TUESDAY !!! in old Buckingham !!! On every Tuesday!!
Rip Lee.
Joking mate looks like you'll having a fantastic summer.
Enjoy and stay safe.
Lee seriously this was an absolute bargain 👌 and mint paint scheme.
Thanx for the shout out you didn't have to. Can't wait to see your progress. Well done buddy epic times to come.
Yes Lee, this is sick!! Glad you've taken the step to two wheels 💪🔥
Had one of these back in 2009 when I passed my test, cracking machine. It was a little ahead of its time with radial front calipers, adjustable rev limiter, lap timer, led rear lights and good power. Enjoy it 👌
Possibly gonna be the best project you’ve done Lee . Can’t beat a bike series 👍
Got to be honest mate, i was like you, a staunch car enthusiast. Although i still love cars, bikes are something else! Im much more into bikes now! They're easier to work on, they're rapid for next to no money and they are an experience like no other. I will also say that there appears now to be a lot less toxicity in the bike 'scene' than car 'scene' now. Once a biker always a biker! Great to have you on board mate! 🏍🏍
Literally did the exact same thing did CBT, bought an 05 636 then straight onto mod 1 and 2, can't beat it once it's all done, go steady fella
I was the first one of my friend group to want to get my bike licence, now I am the last one to do it ha ha. Need to get it done. Great vid Lee, Ride safe, good luck with the test.
Iv been watching your channel for a good while , but now you have my full attention with bikes , I had the same bike in black as my first bike , great first bike .
Best thing I ever done back in 2020 was my bike test, good luck with your test, enjoy it and ride safe 👍👍
I've been waiting for you to realize, but im in the same boat as you. I've had my realization 2 years ago 😂
Nice bike Lee. You will get the hang of it just takes time. I had a 93 fzr600 3he import that was race preped so can feel the pain. There was no point having a clutch lever a off on switch would have done the same job. Once you have passed I would recommend you do a advance riding training. I done it with the police back in 2000 on a pilot scheme they were running to help reduce bike fatalities if that is possible its normally a car that never notices the bike. It was well worth it they showed how to ride faster yet safer and how to control the bike better than any direct access training. They shown better road positioning how to make the bikes dance at slow speeds and I now know how heavy there bikes were as I have a bmw r1150gs where they had the r1150rt so basically same bike skeleton just appearance and rear shock is different. So can see how they made it look effortless but the reality is they are making 1/4ton bike float around like a feather.
Will deffo look into this!
@itsleelockwood also buy the best gear you can afford as it's there to protect you when you need it most. Also, make sure when buying trousers that the knee pads sit right, you don't want the knee pad to sit too high or low as it will damage your knee cap should you come off. I know what it's like to come off and it's not just speed that causes damage. At 15 to 20mph I damaged my wrist, dislocated my shin bone at the knee, and shattered c3 and c4 vertebrae and now have a curved spine. In my case it was a car that pulled out a junction on me I tried to avoid but the way the driver jumped stopped then jumped again he had block the whole road so I went over his bonnet and got caught up with my chin gaurd on the bottom of bumper and the top of my helmet on the road.
Great 1st bike 👍🏼
I would just change the clutch springs if those are too hard.
It's a wet clutch that's why you can slip the clutch unlike a car which will just give you that lovely burnt clutch smell lol.
That's called a fast idle not a choke 👍🏼
Welcome to bike life Lee 🎉
I did my cbt 2yrs ago then straight onto my full bike licence. Passed first time and brought a cbr600rr, rode that for a few months and soon got bored of the power and size of bike so since got a 1000rr fireblade so much fun and terrifying speed so happy I did it though the adrenaline rush is next level after a spirited ride out
What was insurance like getting a 600 as first bike?
@itsleelockwood I think I paid about 700 for the year now I'm on a 1000rr with a yrs no claims and it's £460
Nice bike, tbh. U turn tips: look where you want to go. And as you explained kinda, the bike will stand if you get to the bite point, and give it gas but dont fully let the clutch out.
You can't put your foot down for the MOD1 on the DAS. Which I guarantee will be easier as it's not on a sports bike! But if you can do it on that, the test will be easy! Did my DAS last year. Best thing I did. New sub
For slow control try blipping the throttle constantly while using the clutch/brake , hardest thing it manovering round the fig8 as you need to lean the bike to get round as the steering lock is crap on a race bike
So glad you've decided to take up 2 wheels matey, you should organise a ride out when you've passed... A lot of your subs have bikes 🙋🏻♂️🏍️✊
Always remember Lee gentley on the rear brake then the front don’t grab the front brake first seems loads of people go down that way mate also once your on the road and start getting a little confidence try turning opposite while turning a corner and lean more only a slight touch mate but you’ll fly round a corner that way but slow and steady to start with mate no need to prove anything just stay safe 👌
Your be fine on your test especially as you have a way to practice. one bit of advise for the U turns and figure of 8 is to look where you intend to go I’m sure you was already told this but remembering that when doing it makes all the difference.
Props to you for going for your bike test. Well done. I think you’ll struggle a bit with that as a first bike. With the angle of the bars, stiffness of the levers and seat hardness, your arms, fingers and ass are going to burn after an hour of riding. I’m riding a 2021 Ninja 1000, love the bike! After passing my bike test, my Audi SQ5 feels like driving a Nissan Micra.
Take your time learning to ride lee. You don't need to go flat out straight away, the bike will catch you out at some point. Once you get on the road you'll wonder what you haven't done it years ago. I've been riding and instructing on and off for the past 40 years nearly and never had an off......yet!! Keep safe pal, good luck with the test and get the gears set up properly on that bike you've bought......😊
Not watched the whole video yet but got to where you do your cbt.
I found the cbt great fun when I did that did the mod one and two last year and they was not that fun at all but when I got to ride the bike back after the final test without the instructor or anyone it was great fun.
Never thought I'd see lockwood on a motorbike fair play lad and £1800 quid BARGIN! 👏🏻👊🏻
Glad your balls finally dropped! your life has changed forever. No car will ever feel as good!
This is so true. Cars don’t measure up after getting a big bike.
This is gonna be hilarious lee... Love it 😂 brings back so many memories already. Also did you shift up to go into first gear? If so then it has GP shift aka race shift so the lever is reversed. Highly recommend switching it back to normal for road riding. Looking forward to the rest of the bike vids! Also when you get some experience and fancy a race lmk 😉😂
I gotta say, of late, the engine swap videos are getting a bit tiresome, especially with the constant issues and having to bodge things together, BUT, this is a real breath of fresh air. Really super entertaining and exciting to watch. I havnt seen you this genuinely excited for a while, and that comes across on camera mate. Im sure i speak for many on here when i say i wish i could do my bike licence, but, the wife won't allow it lol.
Summer bike videos are going to be just what this channel and you need lee.
Bloody good on ya lad!!!!
Dont let the sportbike make you feel worried about slow speed manuveurs for mod 1. Its a lot easier of a standard upright naked bike which all the training schools teach.
I got my r6 in Dec and have accepted the fact that i can never do a U turn on a normal road lol.
Once you have passed your test you will be out all the time on it. Good luck and ride safe buddy
Yes lee nice bike you have there man ride safe keep the content coming and good luck on your test
Nice bike, I would upgrade the headlight bulbs as they look very yellow
Ride safe. I took the leap last year. Never looked back. Ride every day.
This is cool. Somthing I need to do is get a bike license been thinking about it for years
Hey Lee - nice one man - i came off my VFR400 NC30 never touched a bike since - THINK BIKE! intrigued TO KNOW HOW MUCH INSURANCE YOU PAY MATE - Lol -ffs no one wants to insure my Abarth lol
Fair play mate, best thing ive ever done, you will love it 😎👌🏻
Done my tests earlier this year and still deciding what bike to get😂
Zx6r is a beutiful bike
the bike comes alive at 8k ( maybe diff with sporket on there) just be carefull lmao looks like your doing right thing and using it as practice and learning bit by bit keep it up pal you will find biker community is really good too
😂 Finally you are getting in to bikes, they are great fun when its dry! Good luck with your test Lee mate!
As a beginner, ditch the gp shift!! Itll become a habit and itll fuck you up when you jump on other bikes. Keep it for track
Already off!
Leave the front brake alone when doing slow manoeuvres, just keep gentle pressure on the rear and use the clutch
Welcome to the biking world mate there’s no turning back now cars are behind you now lol…
You chose a great bike mate..i had the zx10 version..great bikes
Gone from barely riding a 125 to a race bike with 120hp and clip-ons 😂. See if you can pick up a cheap sv650 to practice on dude, that's what they use for most DAS courses anyway!
Your have so much fun I have a gsxr 750 and it's more fun than any car out there
Oh man you’ve made me miss my R6 😩🥺
Welcome to the biking brotherhood. Good luck with your mod 1 & 2
Letting your tyres warm up is key Trust me Nice Bike 🤩
At the risk of sounding like your mum, be careful mate. Very easy to get carried away on a bike, like in a car, but you've way less protection if it goes wrong, also, more importantly, there are a lot of dangerous idiots who can't drive on the roads!
Lmao a stunt/race bike as your first bike. Lee i think your great and a funny dude but honestly bro you need to respect these machines they aren't as said "throw around toys" they'll kick you off and k#*l you without warning!! Be safe 🙏🏼
👍👍👍😂been riding super bikes for 30years back brake slip clutch nice and slow like riding you’re bmx , practice how still with feet up buy back brake and clutch all balance and control ,you’re doing well I did despatch riding in central London on a gsxr 1000 k1 😂years ago that brings you’re skill levels up good luck
Haha wait till the first time you launch it.
Yes Lee!!!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 not watched this yet, but you’re going to love it 😁😁😁😁 edit, just finished watching, if you can ride that, you can ride anything. Just always remember to look where you want the bike to go, turn your head and the bike will turn.
I'd be careful riding around there. Someone will always call the police and the licence is gone before you've started
The scariest thing or riding a 600, is that its considered a middleweight! Boggles the mind that you can get faster bikes
You need to feather the clutch in 1st gear like you said… you don’t really want to be going on and off the gas at low speeds without the clutch in 1st gear it won’t be smooth on any bike above really.
Lee will now learn a fast car will never feel fast again 😂
Just been looking at the z650 naked , lovely machines these 650 kawasakis do 0 to 60 in about 3.8 seconds so plenty quick
Not properly watched since the purple evo days however if move bike content like this comes will defo be keeping a eye out 👍🏽
Good to see you on a bike
Fancy riding my 1200
Fairplay mate good luck
come on I hope this is lee learning to ride 🎉
ride that clutch and stay away from the front brake at low speeds and youll be grand, my friend :)
wait until your riding down the road minding your own biz and some twat moves into your lane with no indicators and you have to go onto the foot path you should learn to drive a bike before a car to many deaths cause people in cars dont look over there shoulders when changing lanes like bikers do
Mod 2 is hard mate so make sure to listen on thebstuff being told mate but best decision o ever made doing mine, totally different engine to your zx6
Your life will change bro 😎 after riding a full on super or super sport bike, nothing you will ever experience in a car I don’t care what anyone says bike power on a bike is something different, congrats on the new bike and good luck on the test bro 😎
Best shape of zx6r there is!
You just passed lets prey you keep safe on this 600 r kwak ride safe be blessed
Hope I hear you laugh still in the future many iv know stopped laughing years ago in the 70 s be blessed and respect the kwak or it will bite
Lee is a 🔔 end, and my prediction is he’ll kill himself on that bike. I said the same thing to James Dean and his car 😂
Quality Lee Lad, I'm doing the exact same, I passed my theory last month and booking cbt shortly then direct access. I'm after a 600 bandit. Roll on summer on the bikes 😎
13.45 - make a habit of getting on from the left side, keep you right for your tests😁good luck chap
my G be careful about recording vids whilst driving…as you grow in popularity so will your haters. Inevitably one will report you to the police and you will get fined. Stay safe my G 👊🏽
600s are gutless low down.Can't wait until you actually give it some proper revs 😂 and we ride bikes not drive. Great video good luck with the test.
Lee’s girlfriend sneaks a go on the 6R

Definitely look into fitting some crash protectors on the frame and forks lad be a shame to ruin it if it gets dropped lad . R&G racing do some nice ones
Shit.. Now I'm gonna have to get my test done.
I'm sitting in my CBT for nearly a year always putting it off.. I'm going for it now.. 😉
Also it's awesome to see you control it so well. Specially setting off. That's where I struggle a little bit after stop riding for 17y.
Never regret doing mine, just be grudge we only get a few months that’s worth going out every year 😢
Had 2011 zx6r for my first bike a couple years ago, cracking bikes! You’ll not buy a big power car ever again 😂
Get out on the track mate, best way to learn what a bike can really do
Lovely bike mate
Mod1 is definitely the harder part compared to mod2.
I passed all mine last february and i wish id done it sooner. Nothing better on a sunny sunday afternoon going for a rip.
All these cars you've built will feel like a corsa compared to bikes welcome to the life brother
*Be good to eventually see you try some off road bike stuff. Maybe try some lairy 2 strokes? I used to have a Yamaha YZ490 that was road registered and there were rear wheel antics galore! The RM500 Suzuki is a blast also. My fave was the Yamaha RD400 (Stan Stevens tuned with Allspeed exhausts) and finally my old RD500 V4 (with Micron exhausts). There's just something about big capacity 2 strokes and the smell of Castrol R Lee! Anyway, best of luck and stay safe mate. Bikers are vulnerable to terrible drivers!*
Welcome to the club, just a heads up, you’re gonna find cars boring once you open that bike up 😂
good lad stay safe and remember enjoy what ever you do #soundsmint
Did my DAS end of december, got an 03-04 636 start of january! you made a very good choice
awesome to see man and a small tip for you which will help in slow manuvors, Look where you want to go so if a u turn then literally look behind you at where you want to end up and the bike will go there. Also with turning get off centre so lean your body, get your head off centre and the bike will turn alot easier
basically loosen up
Wheyyyy waterside leisure centre on Canvey island 😂😂😂
I’ve passed my bike test just before Christmas and just a little tip when your doing your cones just play with your clutch it’s all about clutch control to stop you loosing balance at such a slow speed, avoid putting your foot down going around them aswell. My instructor was strict and gave me a hard time 😆
Knew I recognised that AMD sign. Lol.
Who's ST is that lol.
Passed my test 3 years ago i have had lots of fast cars nothing compares to a bike i got a brand new ZX6r when i passed its a big learning curve slighty wish i got something slower to learn properly at first, starting track days this year just booked donnington, get yourself some proper leathers though i have seen a lot of people get injured unnecessarily from not wearing proper gear, stay safe!.
cant wait for the moto vlogs on 2 wheels, also, invest in a chin mount for your helmet, Much better POV
Congratulations on bike m8 mega. I run a motocross channel. If you need decant audio from inside your helmet I run a purple panda Microphone. They work a treat for motovlog style content 👌 I currently have a mt09 good luck on mod 1 👊👌
Welcome to the club mate
