Subject to pair of us getting time off work it's me, Cat and Fro so far with Deso coming joining us in garage 13 1½ more needed (you're a half so far Cas)

Any more for any more? We're on 3 so far, 2 more for an £80 track day

Emily - Bowling for Soup

Whereabouts on the seat do you sit? For long term comfort like that you want a slight forward lean, if you're too upright it puts pressure in the wrong places as you're finding out. Slightly leaning forward puts it more into the back of your thighs where there's plenty of padding (there is on me anyway ) rather than straight into your bone. Can you shuffle your bum further back in the seat so you're leaning slightly further forward to get to the bars? Or lower the bars a bit?

There's no garages at Cadwell

If you can get the discount then I think you've got 2 on the list here

Can I play with madness - Iron Maiden

I'm surprised you qualify as a novice, how many have you done now? Is that the discounted price?

Conga rats And good luck to MrsW

Great stuff, fingers crossed for you mate, sounds like it's all working out.

Yeah, go for that. Doing your test now means you just get to stay on a 125. Do your A2 at 19 and then the 2 year countdown starts until you can do your full test.

Happy birthday Stu, have a fab day mate :cheers:

Run - Snow Patrol

Congrats mate

Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles (and many others)

Three times a Lady - Commodores

Oil and filter change on the R6 Serviced last March in a dealer and some Schwarzenegger wannabe work experience neanderthal has obviously done up the sump bolt and the filter with a pry bar and no subtlety at all... or running oil over the seal before he did it. Managed to get the sump bolt out and the crush washer was completely mangled and deformed into the bolt but the oil filter ain't moving. The filter cap wrench is turning on the filter, jammed a screwdriver through it and that's just peeling the metal like a tin can. Plenty of WD40 and plus gas on to try and break the seal. Couple of ideas to get when the shops open tomorrow but open to any suggestions to try while we're at it.

Impressive Not something I'd choose to spend my time on but good on 'em

BT have got rid of Melanie Sykes YAAAAAAAAY

Neil, we've got another mate there who was with Cat when she got her one that's just died a couple of years ago so knows exactly what to look for. She's volunteering on one of the stands so is in all weekend so don't worry about looking but massive thanks for the offer.

Since you're having a grump, Al Happy Birthday Have a good day mate

Happy birthday Bex :cheers: Have a fab day hun

Very nice Shiney side up and enjoy

You are still restricted to 15bhp on A1 I'm afraid. It's exactly the same bike you're allowed to ride on CBT, the only difference is taking the L plates off, pillion and motorways. I'd definitely advise getting a 4 stroke over a 2, they're far more reliable and need less maintenance. If you're into the sporty type bikes I'd say look at an R125, it's got the 4 stroke reliabity but is still a decent sporty bike. To be honest at nearly 18 unless you have a need for pillion or motorway I'd say stick on your CBT for a year, get a bike to play on and do the A2 at 19. You'll have a year's experience under your belt by then and can do the A2 and start the countdown to your 2 years 'til the full licence.
