  1. Took my front wheel off to get a new tyre tomorrow. Will have a look at brake pads tomorrow too and give it all a good clean. Got those pretty red wheels on it that are an absolute menace to clean but they do look good when they're done
  2. Awww thanks so much !!! Sorry im late to the party i did have a good one but i cant remember it now
  3. Eeee by eck that was a whole lot of fun. once the fog had gone....had visor and spectacle issues but wasn't going to let a bit of fog put me off
  4. Honest opinion. Ive made my own tank protector to not only obviously protect the tank but to also cover a couple of dents and what not. The vinyl I'll be using is shiny black.... do you think it will look ok?
  5. Just been to show my mum as she has always shown an interest. Whipped down the bypass like a little rocket. I have faceache from the grinning
  6. Get out and enjoy it. If you dont enjoy it, pass it on. Nothing ventured.
  7. Aaaand this is what she looks like now. Another 100 mile clocked up and an epic day of grinning.
  8. Well done on your pass. The more you get out the quicker your confidence will grow. I started out doing small runs to shops, friends and my mums. My commute to work was good too but meant me coming home down country roads in the dark. Occassionally id be bullied to go quicker so i just indicated,pulled over and let them past. You've as much right to be on the road as anybody. Enjoy !!!
  9. Going for a potter round locally tomorrow so will get pics and a vid.
  10. Wow what an adventure this little bike has been !!! Picked her up yesterday, had visions of not making it round the block but Mr and Mrs Oldgrump said not to worry they would meet us somewhere with it in their van. What amazing people. Anyway Mr Oldgrump in front and Andy behind me, we set off on my first test ride. After a couple ifcorners and road ends i quickly felt more comfortable. Mr Oldgrump took us to the bypass and we said our goodbyes. 90 miles later still grinning we got back to camp site. No video cos hubs csmera was facing his bike instrument panel So here the journey ends and begins !!! Ill sort vids and pics when we get home.
  11. Picking her up from @oldgrump the legend on Friday !!! Please dont let me drop this bike
  12. I have helped one neighbour rescue a cbr600 from being scrapped. Hes just got that going and another neighbour told my hubby that hes well jelous about our bikes and is getting himself one whoooop. Thats now 7 bikers on this tiny street
  13. Hi Ian Yes its very exciting !!! To be honest now that ive been riding the NC750s for practically everyday since i got it im looking forward to the 400 even more. It doesnt look as daunting now
  14. The update is long overdue but the bike is in the capable hands of @oldgrumpwho has been doing an amazing job. She sounds amazing now and im so freaking excited. Today it feels real that im actually going to be able to ride it in the not so distant future !!!
  15. Yes we came across a couple of speed vans yesterday i hope you didnt get zapped !!!
  16. I meant East we are already as west as it gets unless we go to Ireland Whitby it was. Wow what a lovely place too. Did you get out?

  18. Thanks !!! Im really looking forward to it.
  19. Handed the nc23 over to @oldgrump who has very kindly offered to undo all the things ive done wrong and get her going again. Thank you so much you absolute legend. Getting a bit boring free wheeling it out the shed and down the drive....
