the tempest 200 which i have folds down smaller than a standard sleeping bag, and is ample big enough for one small person ( ie me) and all my gear, or 2 very small people and their gear goes in the porch or someone elses car. if you average build or bigger you might want to see if theres a 300 version

a straight £20 sounds like more than a fair price... is there a cost for the campsite too ? i might have missed that bit ,

doh, thats why i recommended the tempest:D .

conratulations, ride safe and enjoy lots

sod it... add me to the list , i can always turn up at midnight

mut be really frustrating.. you keep at it, its sooo worth it in the end

having second thoughts about not being able to make it, i can alway go to cadwell another time ...will have to see what my hours are for the friday nearer the date tho, can i add at short notice if i want to come? wont arrive till late friday tho

get theory booked, and book a DAS intensive guaranteed pass scheme, should do it in 4 or 5 days, but the wait will be for th theory, bout 2 weeks mine was

the zxr4 is very revvy , definitely a supersports, and not what id descibe as an ideal first bike

great advise.. and i have to say that softening the suspension was essential on mine, its handling much better now

hey megawatt, how comes we missed that option aat the rally, my stand needs shortening

yes you will need to dop the front to balance if your lowering the back.seriously tho, give it few more tries without grabbing handfuls of brake, and push the bike whenever possibl, always lean it onto your hip too, so your bodies taking some of the weight, and never let it lean away from you

ok, i think im actually the shortest on here after ruthie ( unless any 10 yr olds have joined while ive been at work ) i'm 5' nothing,( 26 inside leg) and ride a thundercat... yes i have it fully lowered , but im still only on toes. trick is to make life as easy as possible for yourelf.... when your short it much easier to get off and push the bike.. if you dont have enough touchdown, dont even try to 'paddle' along. as for anything else... make big friends with the throttle, clutch and rear brake.... treat the front brake like your worst enemy, and make yourself supremely good at slow handling with plenty of throttle. also scan the road if you are coming to a stop, and if theres a camber, either use both feet, or the one that can plant the easiest. you will eventually get used to sliding your bum acros to plant the preffered foot. then again , if you have the option to lower it enough to flatfoot, then go for it if you think it will help your confidence

well done you, good luck for mod2

good luck, enjoy

oh dear, hope it heals well and you manag to gt th bike fixed up ok

yay, well done you... welcome to the big grin club

lol ok scratch that , its a 4 hour ride to cadwell, not happening

if i can find anypossible way of swinging this i will come. but i will have to work the friday, so would be a late arrival, and ive promised to be at cadwell on the sunday, so it might be a tricky one . will let you know soon as i work out if it can be done lol

i would think full protective clothing is a must... it will hurt just as much if you come off on the test as afterwards. bargains can be found on the dreaded ebay if the budgets tight.

yeah hurry up lol, i wanna know if i can come

cant do that week im doing lincolnshire, been arranged a while

roys on th saturday is a good enoough plan for me

i'm hoping to go, sorting ticket today hopefully

well done both of you.. and forget the minors, a liscence is a liscense
