    Right i have put this on a few other sites purely to see the various answers i will probably get My mate passed her part 1 test before she could do her part 2 she noticed her theory will be expired on Monday so when she asked the DVLA about it they said "Do your theory REDO your part 1 and then do part 2. Surely if you have already passed part 1 on a theory certificate that is still valid you shouldnt have to redo your part 1 just do your theory and part 2

    i took my CBT last August, so i have another year of riding on it, before either taking CBT again or taking my test. it did get explained to me how the module 1 & 2 works, but i cannot remember for the life of me. I'm currently riding a YZF-R125 (which i intend to keep riding, at least for now, even if i do take and pass my test). I'm over 21 aswell if that makes a difference.

    Hello, My name is Ryan, I commonly go by 'TheRealFatShady' on forums. I'm from Worcester, MA. For bikes, I have: 82 Suzuki GS1100GL - Turned into a GK model, essentially (new seat, fairings, KG hard bags, etc) And my newly acquired 1986 Radian 600. Needs some work, new fuel filter (gas not getting through) and some clutch work. Also seems to have an oil leak near the valves. The valve cover says Yamaha, but it's brass/gold colored. The bolts also look new. I don't know much about Radians, but that looks like it was replaced. Thoughts? The bike is small, but I like it. I traded my Yamaha TTR90 dirt bike for it. (I'm much too big for that dirt…

    Got my licence earlier this year after 2 years on a CBT. Shortly after got myself a '94 FZR400 3TJ, and I love it. Packs a decent punch and its light enough to throw around, think its the best bike I coulda chosen to build up my confidence on. when I got it I took the engine out and rebuilt it which made a big difference, although the difference may have a lot to do with the ridiculous length of time i spent cleaning the carbs. unfortunately it has recently blown the exhaust, so I've decided its time to tuck it away for the winter in the garage, but i intend on spending quite a bit of money on it in that time. anyway thought id introduce myself, so... hello, my name…

    Mum & Dad had two twin boys aged 9 years. One morning when dad came down for breakfast before going to work he noticed his wife was in tears. "What ever is the matter?" he said "It's the twins Jimmy & Johney, they are driving me mad, every where we go they are always swearing using the "F" word, fuck this, fuck that, it's so embarrassing I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown." "Right" said dad "there is only one thing to to do, when one of them swears grab hold of the nearest thing and hit him with it, and I mean hit him hard, half kill the little sod, he won't swear again and his brother will take note and won't swear either." Next Morning Mum shouts up t…

    You always hear about the bad, but you never hear about the GOOD. There are many good sellers that supply our hobby with much needed parts. I just wanted to share some ebay sellers that I have had extreemly postive experiences with. These are their seller names on ebay: international-shipper, ricepaddyco, bcf1947aolcom, and Paul Miller Motorcycle in Connecticut.
