Well, i sued to ride Downhill Mountain Biking at National level and was always in to mountain bikes since i could first ride one. I never really took a shine to motorbike's until later in my life when i always though 'i should really get my licence' but it just never happened. Once i changed jobs, i was pretty much forced as the public transport route would have been very expensive and time consuming. I did my CBT in March and got my first bike (Yamaha R125). From that point forward i was hooked. I booked my theory and then after passing that booked my direct access course and could not wait for the day to obtain my full licence. That day has now come and i'm currently awaiting my first big boy bike (R6) to come in 5 days time.
I feel like a child looks forward to Christmas. It is truely euphoric!

I will most certainly be learning a few things from that video. I just can't wait to get aquainted with my bike and finally be on the other side of the fence. I hated every minute wearing 'L' plates on my 125 and used to look up in awe when someone would pull up next to me at the lights and take off leaving me in smoke. I think the jealousy is what got me through all my tests passing first time.
It's strange how i never used to be that interested in bikes until i did my CBT and then it just seems to grow inside

Thanks for that. I'm not generally a careless rider and am almost a bit scared of the resposibility i will have with such a power change. I am thoroughly looking forward to it and will take your advise on board

Hi,
I've not been a member of the biking world that often so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have been riding a Yamaha R-125 for around six months and passed my full direct access test Friday just gone. Having riden a 125 at 16 and a half stone i don't really get very far very quickly.
In a spur of the moment i've put my bike up for sale and have had an offer from a dealer to part ex for a 2003 R6. It comes next Wednesday and was wondering if there are some tips you guys could give me as it is going to be an extreme jump from a 125 to an R6.
I did my test on a 500cc but i know that will be nothing compaired to the power i will have at my discposal and any feedback and/or things i should watch out for in the beggining would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ed

Hey,
I've been riding about 4 months now and am loving it. Got my theory test booked for a couple of weeks time and hope to get my full license and upgrade to an R6 in September. However, i bought this bike 4 months ago, it,s an 2008 plate and really is stunning. The only problem is I'm sure at some point between my home and getting to work i get a really powerful clutch smell. I'm not 100% sure it's me but seem to get more and more paranoid. I've driven a car for years so I'm not really that inexperienced and know how to operate vehicles so I'm not sure whether I'm not shifting quick enough or whether there is a problem with the bike.
Has anyone got any info they can give me. I'm new to this scene.
Kind regards
Ed
