So I've managed to be get booked onto a BikeSafe course in June.... 2 days after I am due to complete my DAS course. As we all know passing a test is never a given, and when I received my booking confirmation details, they stated that I must have either A1, A2 or A license, nothing mentioned prior to this! I've emailed and explained the situation and stated that if they require me to cancel the booking then that's what I'll have to do. It's inner city, so no motorways as such to worry about, with the dual carriageways being a 60, my little 125 will manage that without any issues. Guess I have to now wait and see. Fish

The main thing I've been told is make sure it fits properly and is comfortable.

I'm a fairly new rider and I'd say to get back on. You'll remember those slides and bruises but as others have said, renewing your CBT will give you a better idea of how to ride, then just take your time. Fish

Still no new lid, and the gun shop is by appointment only.

Shopping for either a new helmet (failed last weekend) or a new shotgun. Either way, beer is in my hand and sat in my comfy chair for the night. Sunday will either be Boxhill or shotting, decide when I wake up.

Not mine but I know there's some love for the ER6F's here on the forum. If you're interested let me know and I'll pass your details onto the owner. Details - http://jpgif.co.uk/images/bikes/kawasaki-er6f/IMG_20210420_151422-800.jpg Loads more pictures here. http://jpgif.co.uk/kawasaki-er6f.php Pictures were taken yesterday after the MOT. 2007 ER6F I bought this in 2018 for a road trip that never happened, but now I need space in the garage and one of the bikes has to go, the ZZR is being restored so it's the ER6F that's going. I've covered just over 100 miles in those 3 years. It was the best one I could find, never dropped, all panels are good. 12 months MOT as of yesterday and just 10,455 miles on the clock. Last service was at 10,339 miles. Comes with a top box with inner bag and security lock. Heated handle bars with 2 settings, phone holder complete with transparent phone cover and USB charging socket on the handlebars. Also has the original windshield and chain guard. Goodridge hoses. 2 sets of keys. Datatag security. Any questions please ask. Needs to go this week so £2,800. Fish

Mid-life crisis you say.... nope just refusing to use public transport until this covid rubbish has got to a sensible level. I have to travel to various parts of central London as well as other locations, but for those I can use the car. I was reluctant to get on two wheels as I've been known to have a heavy right foot on the odd occasion. So far since June when I did my CBT I have enjoyed my time on a bike, yes I've had my moments but overall I'm still upright and breathing. Fish

As it stands at the moment, up to 24 you're limited to an A2 license so something around 47BHP, over 24 and you can go straight to A license without question. However if you take the A test on an A2 limited bike, you will be limited to A2 power levels until you pass on an A (unrestricted) bike. Fish

might go treat myself to a second lid that fits me

I get the odd email offering dates, but as soon as you open it all the dates are already booked out. Plus not sure I'd want to do it on L's Fish

Mine's a Yam, so I know I'll have zero issues of resale. Fish

Well if 5k is past its best, then my 125 I bought in June last year is for the scrap heap Fish

Job 1.... Done.... Job 2 incoming

It appears that someone who attends Boxhill likes to take pictures. Surprised the camera still worked after this one.

My father once took me to a football match and we didn't even make it to half time. Something about me calling out to them to put some effort in and stop behaving like little ballet dancers.....

I've had FM, HJC, Scorpion EXO 1400 Carbon Air which was all for karting before I grew a pair and got on a bike. I wanted a second lid so went to a Helmet City and bought a HJC R-HPA 11 Bine, which was incorrectly sized by at least one but more like two sizes. It was still pushing the cheeks slightly but I was getting a lot of wind noise. Helmet City waas not interested in the slightest in trying to resolve the issue, so when I needed to replace my existing Scorpion I went to JS in Maidstone and they confirmed that the SCorpion I already had was correctly sized and I chose the same again. I'll be looking for a second/spare lid at somepoint this summer and I'll be going back to JS and ot Helmet City. Fish PS the HJC is sitting under the bench not being touched.

Cleaned the chain then off to Boxhill to see what else was out today

Evenig all, here's to everyone having a nice relaxing weekend of enjoyment.

Had the rear spindle brackets fitted instead of drilling and tapping the swing arm. Fish

Clay shooting all weekend, unless it snows on Monday that is Fish

Training companies block book them, then release when not needed. Nothing new here. Fish

Get on GroupOn, there's normally plenty of deals for AirCon re-charges Fish

Worth having a look on the Sold Secure website. Do a search on locks, chains, anchors all are listed and rated. Fish

I'd be surprised if people put too much detail about what security they have. I'll send you a message with some idea's. Budget though is what it all comes down to. Fish

Out for a quickish ride this afternoon, family duties this morning. Cant decide if I prefer colour or b/w. Fish
