congrats buddy

Hmmm thats a hard one. probably the 98 T-cat sitting in the garage with my name on it. but i wouldn't kick the R1 out of bed for eating animal crackers either.

Derbyshire humour, you gotta love it. did you get snowed in this morning? the 61 was down to 20 the whole way to Sheff

Thanks for all the advice To be fair i havent been riding for long, since 30th september ( so about a month). My step-dad suggested that i should wait 2 months before doing my test, so its long enough to 'hone' my skills, but not so long that i develop bad habits. Either way, i have bokked 4 days of training in january to see what kind of standard i ride to and see if its worth booking my practical. Already passed my theory, did that before my CBT. Thanks Again Alex

Ok, i was wondering how much harder the full test is than CBT. I dont mean to sound stupid, i realise that it is harder, but i think i probs ride to standard (mirrors checked every 10-15 secs, two pushes of the indicators to make sure they cancel everytime, throwing lifesavers around like they are candy at a parade, plus riding straight and safe and within speed limits) do i stand a chance? I'm itching to get riding a big bike (even if limimted to 33bhp), and my step-dad's got a Thundercat hes willing to GIVE me if i pass. Cheers guys Alex

Can't argue with that. I prefer Vicks though.

The best stuff i have used is NitroMors. Just scratch the paint deeply, paint it on, and leave for 10 minutes, and the paint will literally fall off. Just dont mix it with hot water, cos that then becomes Mustard Gas.

I love it so far, but part of me wishes I had gone for the yzfr125, just couldn't justiy the extra grand though.

About 2 weeks ago i had a milkshake thrown at me on the A61. It hit the 'bars, and then covered my partially open visor, and my face. Not only did i nearly wipe out trying to stop and wipe it off, but all the way home all i could smell was McDonalds strawberry shitshake. I think that was on purpose though so it is kinda a different thing.

Thanks guys, that's what i call a welcome!

Hi all, my names alex, currently riding silver YBR-125 Custom, and its nice to 'meet' you all.
