I use 2nd to approach and then if need to pull away quicly slip it in to 1st. On approach go down through the gears and never coast incase i need the power to manouver or get out of trouble. Stu

"whatever" did not include being burgled and the car taken aswell............. Therefore i now have more important things to do. See you another time, Wherever The F**k You All Are......... Wow that sucks! We got burgled 2 years ago. Not plesant at all. We didn't even have contents insurance! Hope you and the wife are ok. On a different note it is tough/impossible to get people near London to go for a ride. Stu

Welcome. I did a 6 session das course and it took 4 months with waiting for a couple of re-tests. I you fail mod 1 (which I am sure you won't ;0) ) they will just put out your mod 2 so won't cost you any more dude. I think the das route is great. Got me on the bike I wanted so happy days. Good luck. Stu

Good stuff mate well done. Stu

As above. If you plan on getting a bigger bike do your DAS mate. Stu

We do ride around that area :0) tring, amersham, Watford etc Come out to play next time :0) went out last weekend as well. Stu

Lol... Got carried away! Yeah questions are for mod2. Sorry :0)

They do ask some set questions. Google them and you can learn them althought you can NOT fail on the questions. If you get them wrong it is marked as a rider error. No basic checks needed mate. That is the point of the questions. You don't need. Hi vis as you are in a contained area while on test. Hope that helps. Stu

My ninja is my first bike after passing and I have had no issues. Just ride sensibly and ease yourself in and you will be fine. Stu

Daytona is more track focussed and you are in more race like position when riding as well so i avoided that one. Stu

All true. I was told to try them all and just buy the one most suited to me. They are all great bikes dude. Stu

I find my 06 ninja comfy and not twitchy. All the reviews are bob on. Good track and road bike. Sit on both and see which you prefer. Stu

Had the same decision to make in April and went ninja. Bigger more powerful bike and i luuurrrrvvveee mine! Although not much in it performance wise. I wanted a slipper which both have. I am 6 foot 3" so wanted the bigger bike plus i prefer the styling of the ninja. http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/stuno1/Ninja/IMG_0261.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/stuno1/Ninja/IMG_0262.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/stuno1/Ninja/IMG_0271.jpg Stu

Fun times. Well done matey. Stu

Fair enough dude. Sounds like a busy weekend ahead! As alwyas just getting out as much as possible. Don't think i will ever get bored of it. Went out on Monday for 70 odd miles by myself as i had the day off. Just so much fun. Catch you next time Mark. Ill be thinking of you when i am tearing up the roads and you are home cleaning Stu

Any more takers.....

Alright buddy. Good stuff. Hopefully it all goes well and we can have a blast around some country roads then :0) Stu

I will be out on Sunday morning (maybe with a lad off the gixer forum) around NW/W London area. Location to be decided. If you are up for it let me know. Would be looking to meet at 8 as I need to be home by 13:00. Stu

I ended up with a lid that has a clear visor and drop down dark visor inside. Just makes life easier to be honest. Stu

Good luck dude. Su

Combine the two. Get there quickly and safely Stu

Iv come off plenty of times and been ok, thing is 9/10 times if you come off its on the low side, so when i come off i only fall about a foot so not too bad Off plenty of times Must cost a lot to sort the bike each time? Stu

Lol will do. It is only when I get loads of bugs on it so usually every 2-3 rides at most. I am sure you are right and the novelty will no doubt wear off! Stu

Lol...i hope not...I am usually pretty good with stuff like this. You should have seen my old cars and my bike at the moment. Always clean :0) I use 'Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner and conditioner' whcih having read that link appears to be spot on. Happy days.
