  1. I ended up with the alpine stars smx boots, fit great and really comfortable.
  2. I picked up my street triple R 2014 as my first bike a couple of weeks ago and love it!
  3. I got my DAS for £400 through my local dealership providing I bought a bike with them (which I did) usually costs £550 and includes a full day for cbt 3 days 10am to 4pm with mo1 on day 3 and then mod 2 after pass of mod 1 with all test fees included. worked well for me, passed first time a couple of weeks ago.
  4. passed with 0 minors, was a pretty fun ride to be honest.
  5. Passed my mod 2 yesterday with no faults! Really chuffed! Bike purchased, just waiting on it getting serviced etc! Can't wait to get out on the road
  6. mod 1 passed on Monday with no minors , can`t say the same for the poor guy who was also training with me, didn't even get passed the u turn before he gave up, felt really bad for him. got mod 2 this Saturday, pretty nervous but hey ho.
  7. I was in my local bike dealership trying on boots and couldn't get any that zipped up apart from a pair of expensive gore tex sidi boots, any ideas on what to try? I tried rst etc
  8. It's definitely an acquired taste but I don't care! As long as I'm happy that's all that matters!
  9. Thanks folks! I can see this being a gruelling few days
  10. Cbt passed at the weekend! Longer day than I was expecting! 8.45am to 6.15pm! Really need to remember and turn off my indicators after signalling Now got my DAS booked for April fools day lol Also put a deposit down on this sexy machine!!
  11. Well done! I've got my cbt this Sunday so my journey is just beginning
  12. my best friend assures me its in good condition and has never been dropped and wouldn't let me use it otherwise, its only for a while till I get my new helmet. cbt booked for march the 5th
  13. im pretty sure you cant do the cbt on a scooter then get a geared bike after passing! I may be wrong though.
  14. thanks folks! looking to get my das booked for next month! let the fun begin! ive already got a helmet,jacket and trousers from friends and family to start me off so just need boots and gloves and im good to go
  15. Well, I took my first step on the road to getting my full bike licence and sat my theory test! proud to say I`ve passed first time! I didn`t think much of the hazard perception though! I found it easy but didn't score as high as I thought! definatly not a good system they use for scoring.
  16. I had my heart set on 600rr but I feel the stripple is the more sensible choice! all the video reviews ive watched have mentioned how easy a bike it is to ride so that with the fact im no speed demon anymore makes it a good idea on paper.
  17. insurance is coming in around 420 for fully comp,
  18. were you not crapping yourself??? yup Oh actually I jumped on the OHs R6 for the first week until I found mine. that was terrifying as it's mint Just take it nice and easy. didn't do much filtering for the first few weeks just nice and gentle everywhere. filtering meaning through traffic? lol
  19. I jumped straight on my ninja after passing so can't really tell you not to buy the bike of your dreams were you not crapping yourself???
  20. as long as you cover the monthly payments!! this is what im looking at. http://www.shirlaws.com/pages/used/used-bikes/2016-16-TRIUMPH-STREET%20TRIPLE%20R-675cc/585ad8268d8c1dcb.htm
  21. I was expecting an ear bashing to be honest so i`m pretty pleased with the responses so far
  22. ok so I know this question has more than likely been asked many times over but that`s not going to stop me im looking at what to get for my first bike! ive been to my local dealers with the view of a sportsbike (600rr) which I was told would be fine although I had my reservations on this due to me being a novice! I sat on a few and found the street triple r to be the one I felt most at home with and after browsing the net daily im falling in love with it more and more! so the point is........ am I a manic for considering the triple r??? bearing in mind this could all change after a test ride of course!
