im up for that, not been to ladybower on the bike and i only live about 20 mins from matlock so nearer the time and as long as the weather is good ill be up for it, ill let you no

i have to walk down the road over a little field and i can see that lay by so ill prob get down there for about 10:45 and can wait for people im on a orange sv650s so cant miss me

it only has one button on the key fob :s press once alarms and twice dis-alarms, its going back into the shop for new indicator so ill get them to have a look if i cant sort it before then

got my new bike the other day and it already had on it a meta system alarm thing is.. when i press the button on the key fob it beeps the LED flashes the about 20-30 secs later light goes off and alarm does.. ive tried everything to sort it but i would just say sod it i dont need it but it part of the insurance, its what got insurance a lot cheaper :/ if anyone could help it would be much appreciated!

im up for the 10th so long as the weather its 'ok'! ill be at the carpark at 11am no idea who everyone looks like or what bikes so just look out for a orange/bronze suzuki sv650s i will probably be up matlock sometime tomorrow anyway

WR125X= Jamie! im well up for this!! not done any big ride outs or anything like it and this is meant to be what biking is about!!

ive posted on the other topic techno sent but yeah let me know if you go up there, want good weather up there though!

if the weather is good and i feel confident on the new bike ill up for it! im only 20 mins away from matlock so not to far and did the cat and fiddle route on a very foggy day on the 125 so if the weathers good it should be a good day?? closer to the time ill decide though! morning or afternoon ride??

soon, hopefully this weekend i should have the new bike so these rides all the members go on i will be able to so in a couple of weeks when i got used to the bike if theres anyone around derbyshire matlock area off out on any rides pref in good weather (but im not a fair weather rider ) im up for the ride just send a post

from all the weather we've had and the amount of salt and grit that gets put on the roads its inevitable that bike are gonna suffer but my bike its a 10 plate bike and the engine is exposed as its a supermoto style so there is alot of bolts and bare metal etc.. and now alot of it has surface rust and it looks S*** to say its a newish bike, does anyone know a way of getting rid of it and stop its rusting again?? any tips and advice would be much appreciated!

thanks for all the advice! passed mod 1 and mod 2!!! fully fledged biker now!!

ive got some bike gloves from aldi that are really thick and were good in the winter, the stuff they sell is good stuff i think and you can get newsletters from aldi with the early heads up of whats gonna be in

ive heard that its best to do as the examiner says just to keep them happy and more on your side well i can drive and i can find where i want to go using signs so i should be fine its just i passed driving test just before they introduced the independent driving but i should be fine mod 2 all booked but cant get it until the middle of march so now its booked ill be checking daily if there's any cancellations, cause im having them!!

yeah she must of touched the front brake and the ground was wet! ill have a look on the sheet then and ill prob get it booked tomorrow for sometime i live in derbyshire so i know country roads like the back of my hand!! but the closest test centre is nottingham about an hours ride away! thanks!!

my nerves where sky high when the girl before me came off her bike during mod 1 so i should be fine with nerves:P i get you so that mod 1 sheet is a tick sheet for mod 2 basically, that should make things more clear and im not to fussed about the using signs its just the test centre is in the centre of nottingham and i hate city centres! but i suppose i should be ok with it it wont be for a couple of weeks because my boss wont let me have half a day off to do the test unless i can get a last minute one on a thursday when im meant to be at college thanks for your help

i was just reading this and its on about independent riding.. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/PracticalTest/DG_178328 well id love to know how i did on my mod 1 but the examier didnt press hard enough on the paper so i can see the speeds i did and the i did a u turn and thats it!! ill have another read through to see if i can see anything.. its it the so called 'easy' bit of getting the licence or not?? thanks, i should be ok but just want to make 100% sure im ready for the test

a few quick questions.. anyone who has do a mod 2 recently, is it the same as in car tests now as you have to follow signs yourself for so long? is it just yourself and the examiner on the road? is the any certain thing you need to learn for or is it just safe road riding? (lifesaver, mirrors & signals?) any other info people have would be much appreciated

havent really go time to go to a school before mod 1 so ill just see how that goes and if i do fail at least its only £15 ive lost but before i do mod 2 ill defiantly do something as its £75 im doing it on my bike so im familer with it and ive been riding on a 125 for about 9 months soo i 'should' be ok... fingers crossed!! thanks for the help!

ill be out soon! this weather dont help plus ive got to get my 4th new l plate for the rear cause it keeps snapping off lol soo on mod 1 is it like a cbt where there is 2 other and an instructor or is it just yourself and the instructor? and the same for mod 2 really?? (not booked that yet even though you can book at same time as i dont feel too confident about mod 1 lol) thanks

theory is all done, passed yesterday but with me being impaitence i booked the earliest mod 1 which is next week!! and i havent done any practice!! ive watch a million videos but really need to get out!

just worked out if i can get a fair price on the 125 i can afford a brand new suzuki sv560s!! :D:D i really wanna pass even more now!! just wish theses tests would hurry up!! wanna have passed by my birthday in may! then i can go away on the bike for a week on my 18th!

the all 4 bikers seems good! the theory test is getting ever closer so need to practice practice practice!!
