You need to build up your confidence. Don't lean if you are going too slow, but steer. An other problem with leaning is badly inflated tyres. Have them checked regularly, particularly after a lay off of more than a week. Pressing down on the handle bar and then following the lean with your body may be helpful.
Sadly I have. She was family if she could be called that and she was horrible to my wife who was defenceless.
On principle and in practise, I try, very hard to walk away. Many times I am successful. Sometimes I am not. It is not right I admit. I am a very courteous and polite person. I really go out of my way to keep my nose clean. But if pushed in a corner and there is nowhere to go, then I will come out with the first punch.
I don't lay down ground rules. A person either does or does not do determined things because it is the way to go about things and not because I said so. Otherwise it will be like having to look up the "Rules and Regulations Book" all the time.
Arguments are stupid, keep them to a minimum and stick to the issue in question. No name calling, never. If it is going nowhere, decide to stop and continue later when both are calmer.
If we quarrel and she is not speaking to me, I don't care who is right and who is at fault. I still go to patch things up. Then we can get to the bit that comes after (making up and all that) much quicker.
Oooh! And you even changed your photo to tell me that. Couldn't wait to get that off your hairy chest, could you? Just tone it down a bit, ok? I have a reputation to take care of.
Two bulls, one young and the other old are grazing on a hill. The young one is very fretful and gets up the old bull's nose. "What's eating you?" asks the old bull. "See those six young cows at the bottom of the hill?" asks the young bull. "What about them?" replies the old bull. "Why don't we run down there very quickly and do one cow each?" asks the young bull. The old bull looks attentively at the six young cows and asks the young bull, "Why don't we go slowly slowly down there and do all six of them?"
Now I haven't the slightest idea what the above has to do with your post just as much as I haven't the slightest idea what you mean by it.
He is so shallow and he thinks that he knows it all. We are supposed to be courteous to each other on these threads but I find it absolutely impossible to be nice to whatshisname. I am sorry but that's the way it is.
Must go now to grab some (3 hours) sleep. Lately it is all (plus 1 hour siesta) that I can manage to spare. Eat your hearts out young ones, and before you even think to shoot us older guys, wait till you reach our age and see if you can manage our pace. By then, I won't give a monkey what you think.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't give a monkey now.
RE: if you do what you've always done ..
Why is an Englishman living in Italy supporting Spain?Don't tell me that it is because both England and Italy were sent packing early.
