Coming from a REAL Cathedral city myself (Oxford) I just laughed at them in all honesty

Hi Elgin is our nearest large town so I will look them up. Thank you Ooh don't call it a town, the locals fiercely insist it is a city because it has a ruin of a cathedral haha

Hey Are you near Elgin? If so I did my CBT with a good instructor from Two Wheelers (I think)

RTFQ

Shouldn't he be wearing a minimum of helmet, jacket, gloves and boots at all times when on a bike?

Robert Webb So do a lot of people if you read the comments

Nope haha

Giggidy Sorry, couldn't resist, you left it... wide open!

Hey guys, I don't know if you remember my last posts on this subject, but I am finally on my way to learning to ride. Over here in Cyprus the system is a little different so I thought I would give you a quick run down. Firstly, I had to be living here for six months before I could apply for my cypriot provisional licence. For this you have to fill out a bit of paperwork and answer a few road sign questions. Next stage is to start taking lessons! Got my first on on Thursday, really excited! You have to take a minimum seven lessons and then take an a1 test, there is no cbt equivalent and you have to complete your a1 before you can ride alone or move on to bigger bikes. I'll keep you posted!

I think he would be hopping to you at best

Thanks very much! I sort of assumed that when looking on pinlock's own website and it saying they didn't make them for my helmet, that would be definitive!

Hey guys, You haven't failed me yet so I'm hoping I'm not about to ruin your glorious streak! Hopefully one day I will be able to return the favour (like when I'm back in the UK and manage to make a rally or something ) Anyhow, I was sucked into buying a beautiful K3 helmet due partly to it's snug fit, but mostly because it is really pretty! (Yes I am a man but I was like a girl in a shoe shop - no sexism intended toward our lovely lady contributors ) I had foolishly done no research prior to my purchase, so am lumbered with a big problem. I can't seem to find a road-legal tinted visor for it anywhere... I would settle for a tinted pinlock insert, but low and behold, they don't make one :/ So here is your mission if you choose to accept - please could you find me either a road-legal tinted visor or suggest an alternative means of tinting a clear visor? Thanks, Nick

Turns out some people will find a way to argue anything, I lived near Brize Norton airbase (built in 1918) for most of my childhood and people complained about that... even though the base was older than their parents...

Considering that's a first product, not too bad really, these things only improve and get cheaper over time, look at car sat navs! I would consider one 5 or 10 years down the line

Thanks for all the advice, I thought as much about open faces, but you know what girls can be like when presented with something shiny haha

That is the sort of style I am looking for, so its definitely a good start. The attraction of the really expensive ones is the fact that they're bold, simple and feminine designs I guess, others seem to lack that

Hey, I am looking at getting a helmet in the future for my girlfriend. I found some perfect designs here: http://www.ateliersruby.com/les-pavillon Any idea where I can get something similar for less than half a month's wages? haha Thanks, Nick

Yep, anything by Coleman, simple, reliable and well built (bargains available online!)

Giggidy

Wow, that must be scary... Being overtaken by all those big artics, you're braver than me!

Yeah, thanks, but everything online always seems to contradict!

Well after thoroughly sifting through the internet, I have learned that my CBT (booked for July) will not be valid in Cyprus when I move there. Does anyone know the route to getting a full motorcycle licence there and whether I can do it with my UK car license and not a Cypriot one?
