I was the same, if you've got money for a DAS then go for it! The bigger bike will change your grin from to ! Also they're easier to ride, I went for the full day's training and test the day after it was good for me suited me and got me done quicker .

I understand a process has to be followed, that should be an open and shut case with minimal fuss for the fella who did his job correctly.

I was planning on Goody, but weathers too good so I'll be going down to Ravens tomorrow and getting back in time to drop it off at the garage ready for the new exhuast!

You snoozing lost you £30! (I'm assuming Joeman has booked my link )

Balls, wish I knew about that one

I've booked my room, free cancellation up to the day too on booking.com if anyone's interested; https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/qualityhotelloughborough.en-gb.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaFCIAQGYAS64AQzIAQ_YAQHoAQH4AQuoAgM;sid=25f45a7ef9c704a473f71da1d43bd4e4;all_sr_blocks=12310109_94309225_0_2_0;checkin=2017-04-22;checkout=2017-04-23;dest_id=-2602067;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=1;group_children=0;highlighted_blocks=12310109_94309225_0_2_0;hpos=1;no_rooms=1;raw_dest_type=hotel;room1=A;sb_price_type=total;srfid=e3b2b9c09cb3f04d35491c51095a22290e01358bX1;type=total;ucfs=1hotelTmpl

That's what I was thinking, as DAS is 24 so that's out. Just wondering if 6 months or so is enough to be proficient and confident? I think so, you'll find the control of a bigger bike much easier and harder to stall. A big bike wants to move, and will take off nicely on the clutch whereas125s need some encouragement.

A2 would be good to go for and you could upgrade in 2 years to get to a full Cat A!

I can never find 7th either, no matter how hard I try!

Decision made, I'm getting this one. http://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/cbr600-cbr-600-fs1-fs2-sport-2001-2002-exhaust-system-with-230mm-round-gp-style-stainless-steel-silencer-9957-p.asp Dropping it in Saturday, hopefully collect early next week.

In Manchester, (outskirts in paticular) you can drive your car in the bus lanes at certain times in some, not at all in others. The signs are pretty clear to be fair though.

The instructor here sounds like a total twat, confidence will come more with practice and it wont take you long to pick it up with someone behind you who actually encourages you! My CBT I had a shouty fella, it doesn't help at all and I felt similar on a lesser scale. As soon as I had my own freedom and could ride alone I found it much better, don't get hung up on mistakes everyone makes them - even people who've been riding 20+ years.

As Hoggs says^^ Stalling after filtering to the front of traffic and trying to make a quick getaway was my recent one

They're investigating, basically they have to ring the test centre to confirm I passed the test and handed over my licence. Another 3 week wait! My online details don't show the test pass as claimed so that's why they haven't just sent me one out.

what sort of warranty do you get on one of these then?

I jinxed it last night, my garden was just drying out as it was waterlogged. Hammered it down last night and the garden is covered again!

Yes, Phillips ruin the JIS heads . And £23 for a set of three JIS on the same website will do me.

Ah so they cant damage Phillips heads like the Phillips screw drivers do? I was after a new set of Phillips too, killing two birds with one stone is good.

Seems I may have to invest in a set!

Just keep off my helmet!

Share my text if you want six, it's a snug 2 man though.

Soon as my boy starts being an idiot he has became me

You made the MOT mistake last time make it 4 weeks so you can fix it .

When TOGS pull their finger out you can probably add 5-6 more, plus there's still 5 months to go quite a few more will book on before the time comes . My finger is staying right where it is... That is a perfect sentence.. surely nothing rude can be added to it. Well, are you coming or not? And will it be on a bike?
