[Advice on getting a 125 from a 50 and how to do it?]

hi there,

i am currently riding a 50cc bike and im starting to think about changing to a 125 when im 17 (this september)

ive heard lotsa weird stories about what to do so i thought i better ask.

can i just buy a 125 when im 17 and ride it on my CBT? (which still hass a year left)

do i have to do a course to ride a 125 for 2 years and then i get my full bike license?

many thanks

jack.

im not sure on the age side of it but im sure that cbt covers 125cc with L plates and carrying no passengers

i also thought you could do direct access now but have to ride restricted bikes until you 21 then you can move up to bigger bikes

best to check for sure but if you can id get it done b4 october as all the tests are changing and going to become alot harder

good luck with it all

[reason for oil shortage]

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.

Well, there's a very simple answer.

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our OIL is located in The North Sea

Our DIPSTICKS are located in Westminster!!!

haha very good

before i got to the bottom i was blaming my car shes a drinker

[Overfill]

I've waaay overfill the oil on my 2002 R6, will this effect it or shall i just ride it till it burns off?

use a straw and then have a whisky chaser

other than that im affraid i have no sensible things to add

[new exhaust]

you guys must have some suggestions

dealer down the road had a carbon fibre can with removable baffle

he said they were quite popular but cant decide

[modifications!!!]

i hate modifications!the more u touch ur bike,change this,replace that blah blah blah,it looses its originality thats wer the beauty comes from.plus it looks cheap and its so trying hard man!!!that is sad...why buy that bike if ur thinking of changing the bloody engine,THIS AND THAT.duhhh!if u want more power get a bigger bike!by the way im talking bout "people who own r125 aiight.."

cant wait to get mine this end of june...

think we can safely say your on your own lol

[new exhaust]

ok ok so i have finally given in to temptation

and am now looking at my options for a new can

i have an 08 R6 and would like to hear what you

lot recommend

cheers all

[modifications!!!]

i think adding mods to the bike does personalise it

im torn between to two of you

i love the look of my new bike i dont even want to spoil the look with

crash bungs let alone change the paint work

however when you see a bike with no mods you dont look twice

when you see something personised (bandit in kaw green for eg) you really turn your head

and thats what its all about

loving the colour scheme on both ya bikes

[Number plate size points or fine ? ? ? ?]

(small plates can still be read by ANPS Readers if they are in the correct format).

excuse my ignorance ANPS ???????

[Number plate size points or fine ? ? ? ?]

cheers all

the 5x7 plates are on order

just need to get the tail tidy sorted and some indicators

totally new to this so keen for hints n tips

[Number plate size points or fine ? ? ? ?]

Hmmm, hopefully they would just give you a warning and tell you to change it, probably with a £30 fine id imagine.

Points is a bit harsh for 1st offence but you never know.

For the record i have a 5x7 plate with normal letters and havent had any trouble so far (touch wood) even with the fuzz behind me

well thats all i thought it was but when a couple of people told me i would get points it put me of

i suppose even the fine would depend if the coppers wife gave it up the night before

[Number plate size points or fine ? ? ? ?]

hi all

recently friends and others have given me a mix of answers to the below question

so i thought i would put it to the forums

if i have a small number plate 5 x 7 for example and get a tug will the police simply

fine me with a lecture

or

will i get 3 points on my license

id appreciate your help people

thanks

thats an obscene amount of money

give mce insurance a shot

[08 R6 Questions]

just got the 08 blue r6 (wicked bike) alot of things answered here so saved me asking

ive not done anything to mine yet other than removed sticker and added tank pad

but im dying to get rid of the rear plate and and indicator bracket (god it looks hideous)

still not sure what im going to do with it im still wondering wether to rush and get an exhaust as

i think it sounds really good as standard (could be better of course)
