gods knows how he managed that!! 70 on a ped must be the most frightning thing ever, not jus for the rider but anyone around it haha i know what its like to wait took a fair amount of time to stop driving lessons and get a bike still only a week left till your CBT, and it is brilliant!! good luck, im sure youll do fine, i never realised how much you can actually learn in a day till i took my CBT see if you can get some pictures up of your eliminator!! would be nice to see it

i dont think it is restricted, restrricted bikes are for people who have taken restricted access test and want a big bike, but cos its illegal to have the bike over 33BHP they have them restricted i looked at the eliminator as my first bike but settled on the shadow, eliminator is gorgeous though!!!

its gettin quite bad and i still dont trust myself to do it!! being a hire bike and all, but local (ish) dealer (belle vue motors) said he will tighten it up for me, jus gotta get to southend on wednesday with an increasingly dodgey chain

like the gold cos its different, black is common and i tend to steer clear of common things

dont worry meets are to far away for me nad i dunno havnt tried that shredder, ill have a look sunday when i give it a clean

could do but it might be i get mine back within a week and i dont have plans to use it anyway, went to chelmsford and back on it with the chain that loose (bout hour and half in total excluding finding my way round chelmo) in the pooring rain...again nothing happened though but im just weary it will do another thing, ive only done 2 rides where its over an hour on the bike at a time (4 hours total, there and back twice etc) and it rains as heavy as ya like!!! hailstones yesterday as soon as i do shorter trips its fine (its not warm and sunny but at least its dry ish) so far i havnt ridden in the sun once!

sorry edited tht, gettin mixed up again!!

the courtesy bike i have at the moment (CG125) says free play should be only about 15mm, at the moment its about 40mm, being a hire bike and also being a newb to biking im not gonna start messing around with just incase it validates one of the hundreds of terms and conditions, but what are the consequences? obvioulsly i would imagince a greater risk of it comin off? ive taken to barley usin it unles si have to and im being easy on the gear changes ad throttle just incase, anything else i should bear in mind?

ive chosen V twin cos...i wanted to

come on people, just over a week to go!! im guessing from the whereabouts of other events that no one is gonna make it but still if you are gonna be there i wanna hear from ya

yeah i would say it looks better but it does look a bit plain :S maybe you could put a nicer set on?

ive got a honda shadow 125 and i cant get the damn steering to lock either, tried all of the above!! one time i thought id done it, took out the key and id bent the key up! (i have a spare) no success, oh well

hey, jus incase anyone is intrested, theres a bike safe event in my town of burnham no crouch on the last sunday of april (27th i think) all the normal stuff, trade stand, exhibits etc. ill definatley be goin as it is a 120 second ride fomr where i live talk about economical

lol... can give u somewhere to pitch your tent! Instead of moaning....would u like me to send u some posters and fliers to stick around in shops, cafes etc, to get some people for u to go riding with?? you and your posters!!! wont be long till the enviroment agency shuts this down becuase of our bad 'carbon footprint'...to many trees used up makin posters

thats why i didnt get a sports bike lol i cant be doin with small bikes, its why i got a cruiser

damn, hard to believe thats a 50 noice

vaid point, if like me Drewster is gonna keep ot for a couple of years, whats the harm? there is really no point in me getting a bigger bike till my full license matures 2 years after ive taken restricted access, so might aswell keep the 125

i think its a great price!! the shadow i bought new 2 weeks ago (also 125) was £3200

i like the lil 'probably' you added in there voodoo

hehe i knew tht would spark a reaction

insider information....sounds like your in the right job...next topic...poland

theres always one isnt there? never happen with the choices there fiven hehehe

graphite, makes it look more like a bike rather than something from a tube of smarties

im thinking of going to this, not sure though, ill see when the time gets that ltittle bit closer

yeah i did have 'vintage' and 'other' on the poll but they obviously didnt get through
