Hello from Banff. Working on an 97 sr125. Been riding a Honda NTV Trike the past few years and now want to return to 2 wheels but need to do the CBT first hence the sr125, should have don my bike test back in the days when you could ride a 250 on a provisional, but gave up biking for 40 years after my uncle was killed on my 20th birthday in a bike accident he was only 21 & he and I were like brothers. 

I'm excited to get out and ride and live again, so... here I am.

Banff... Had to google that!

But I'm getting that it's in Canada. You don't sound like you're in Canada..?

I'm going to go on the principle that you're in England and work from there! lol.

 

In any event... Welcome in! :D
At least you'll be able to do your DAS and not have to wibble through the rigmarole of going through the licence levels!

It's cold at the moment, but at least that means you should have passed by the time the nice weather starts.

I had a quick google too Snake....it's in Scotland. Up in Aberdeenshire.

Welcome in Crawford, from your intro I guess you must be in your early 60's. Which would be in keeping with the 250cc limit on a provisional. My first bike after I passed was a 175 and my friends had the RD250s, most of them were blue for some reason. Did they do any other colour? 🤷‍♂️.

Nice to have you on board. Happy new Year to you, or should I say Bliadhna Mhath Ùr? ............Yup, Google is indeed our friend!😂

lets give you a reward for your post, for a bit of fun there is the ability to earn a gold , silver and bronze for your posts amd your name appears on the leaderboard on the main Forum page on the right, your name should be there as i gave you a 'like' for your first post! its almost exciting isn't it!

They did them in exactly the same pattern, but red too.
But you're right, the Blue ones were far more common, and yet, if you look around for one these days, the blue ones are rare as hell!??!

He should be up there at the top now, I've given him one too.
 

 

For bikers, we have some strange views of 'exciting'... rofl
