Driving License and P220

Here's one piece of advice that I would give to anyone Clip-on Handlebar of P220   planning to clear their license test using a P220. Don't do it. Yes, in the driving test you'll be required to do a figure-of-8 and, frankly, you'd look a lot smarter--and there'll be a lot less muck plastered on your overalls--after the test if you don't try to prove yourself in your P220. The bike has got a turning radius which is a ridiculous 25 cm. Compare that with my Apache's figure that stands at about 20 cm. Now, I want to add that the Apache is a super maneuverable bike. It's one of the best bikes to tackle those claustrophobic city streets. And the P220 manages to be just the exact opposite. I had nightmares when I did U-turns in the bike. Hey, I ain' kidding.

That the astronomical turning turning radius aids its handling, stupendously, when the bike is unleashed is a story for later times.

I did take my Apache, but I wasn't subjected to the test! And many thanks for reminding me of karting. I'll do some articles on that!
