Zzr600 it does everything except off road, is comfy, will accelerate to licence losing speeds if you want and even if you have the mechanical skills of a sea anemone with the help of this lot you can mend it and keep it going with cheap second hand parts.

Car insurance not changed at all.

Wow, only 11 points. I think I was very lucky today. a story for another day but I am not sure I would pay for a solicitor again. I did not have one in court but paid early in the process for one. It was going to 1800 pounds to stand next to me in court and I just could not afford that.

I went fifteen years without anything and then had six really stupid days. I know exactly what you mean. I have no wriggle room. I can do that though.

There is an outcome to this. I have been very lucky and although given enough points in court for a ban I have been allowed to keep my licence because of my work role and the impact upon others if I could not drive for it. I am very fortunate and the court were very reasonable in their response including the fines and costs levied.

Congratulations @Mississippi Bullfrog!

Is it your product?

Well done

Advice seems to be split almost fifty fifty on here whether to get 125 or just DAS. I am confident I benefitted from my 14 months on a 125z I did about 6k miles on it including commuting National speed limit roads. Did me fine.

I bought mine a week after my CBT. Then I just took my time for the first few weeks. monkey thing I wish was that I had found a way to buy second hand Japanese rather than Chinese on finance. I loved my bike and it worked but I lost 1500 and needn’t have done so.

I don’t know @husoi to hard to find fair trade

Yes absolutely. My comment is not about Portugal but everywhere. Barcelona was astonishingly obvious. My comment was more that some people think Drugs lead to prostitution and reasonably often it is the other way round.

Some bits of Stroud and Stroud district are. Some less so

There is also people trafficking and the women may not be addicted before they are enslaved. some are groomed and some forced.

Thanks all will see if I get enough birthday dosh for parts

You may remember some Wally drove into me not long after I passed my test. There is still ever so little a disparity between the way the handle bars point and the wheel. It is tiny and rideable but I bought myself a complete front end second hand none the less. @fastbob and I straightened them as much as possible. I want to service the new second hand front end. What do I need to do that please? eBay sells oil and seals. Is that it?

If I do it won’t stay started, it seems to need to Rev up that much for a about ten seconds or it won’t keep on keeping on.

I’d forgotten how good your bike (that you sold) looks I do like the now older style of the mid nineties to mid naughties.

Every door step clap now is insulting after the Governments pay comments and plans for the NHS.

I’m worried now that I am doing the wrong thing. my choke/enricher raises the revs to 5-6000 so it is unreasonably noisy, this mean that I tend to start it, after a few seconds tail the enricher down to half hop on and go and then when I am moving properly take it off. I tend not to stress the engine very much anyway, I am a bit of a taxi driver when it comes to commuting.

How you doing @dynax?

If I could afford one I would have one. If I could afford to also have my beautiful zzr I would have that too.

I quite agree. I also think asking a yes no question with significant consequences and basing the outcome on a tiny majority such as 50.1 per cent is not the exercise of proper democracy. As is not defining the legal terms of referendums in terms of what the outcome means etc. mond you I also think first past the post in the constituency system in the UK is not proper democracy, also that the boundaries can be changed to make it much more likely for one party to win. I totally agree with your point, mine was made more as an alternative way of looking at how we ask questions

The Swiss do a lot of referenduming, they do it that you need a certain majority to enact the change, without it the bill Kees being amended to see a majority view and so they ask the same question until they get a sufficient consensus.

I agree with everyone else but add the caveat it might be harder to find training that is accessible. My instructor had two CBF600s as his school bikes and I can imagine they would be difficult at five foot. He had no other options that he would have been able to offer. I think it is well worth ringing around your options for trainers asking what bikes they use. there is a website that describes the ergonomics of height and bikes by model. then pick your best bet and book a sighting lesson to see. if you have not got your CBT yet start with that and with 125s being generally a bit smaller you might just be fine
