hi everyone, took my CBT today. started off with the basics, parcticing in a car park e.t.c and after a couple of hours i got out on the road with th einstructor, after a couple of hours we stopped for a burger king (as you do...) before continuing the test for another hour or so and ending up back at the Railway station where we had started. since then i've not been off my DT, first thing i did when i got home was get my insurance sorted (£225 Third party F&T with Swinton) and i am really enjoying this little bike... keep asking my dad to let me play with his CBR900 Urban Tiger but he is somewhat reluctant

I jsut got a call from teh motorcycle garage about ym bike (the chain came off the other day and i took it in for a service) It's gonna take 3 weeks to get a new chain set for it from italy

Hi everyone! I'm Ed. I'm only 16 so try to go easy on me when i ask stupid questions about motorbikes I'm presently riding on an italian import Aprilia Classic 50cc (geared 5-speed) And I turn 17 in jan '09 and have every hope of getting a Yamaha Dragstar 650 limited so I can play with the big boys (and girls!!) I also enjoy skiing, but i didn't notice that category in the sections One thing I really want to do is to drive a bike to switzerland, ski for a weekend and then drive back!! I look forward to talking to you all and I'm sorry in advance for any particularly stupid questions/statements. Thanks for reading! Ed

Hi All As some of you are aware from my posts i'm currently rebuilding an FZR600 which is coming on rather nicely. Currently awaiting the frame back from Powder Coating. How ever I would like to put a nice new shiney set of Gauges on to it maybe have some funky stuff too. I have been told you can get speedos that the needle changes colour as you acclerate etc. Just wondering if anyone knew were to get them from. The major thing was I wanted to add a Fuel Gauge. The other bit is I'm considering Tyres as the Wheels should be back from powder coating in a week and I wanted peoples opnions on them I don't mind cost I just want quality and good traction with little…

Any advice would be very much appreciated. Michelle.x

Hi everbody. for those that frequent Big Ds motorbike cafe in Todmorden, I have a warning for you. Over the past week or so, several plain clothes motorbike police have been circulating the routes in and about the Cafe (Burnley end,Cliviger, Rochdale, Bacup and all the routes and back roads), the first you will now about them is the blue lights in your mirrors. the bikes they are using look standard, one is an R1 and the other ive seen is a Pan european, nothing different about them. The officers take details and if its your first stop with them, they give you a warning, 2nd stop, you will be booked!! There have been a few bad accidents in the area in the recent past…

My wife turned up to do her CBT today and was told as the instructor had run out of certificates it would be illegal for her to do her training is this right? Last time she went to do it instead of a 125 commuter bike she was give a 50cc trials bike which had seen better days and the tax had expired in may.

I have a bet with my older sister. I say they are like twin brothers and she doesn't agree. I think they could be brothers, they even could replace each other in a movie... They look amazingly similar What do you think? Picture is here: In Mirror
