ok, got a few Q's for you boys.

when i was 16 i done my CBT, but not my full test, so obviously its now expired. (im 24 now)

when i got my car license i got it for bikes too, so can i ride a ped, or do i need to re do the CBT?

and finnally, for the direct access, do you need to do a CBT first, or can you do it all in one go?

cheers

Ginge !

you can ride a 50cc moped with no L-plates or cbt, anything else ya need a cbt, to do ya motorcycle licence ya need a valid cbt aswell

leave it out theres just 2 of us on the CBT on wed... me n me mate (he's already bought a TZR 125)

ok out of all those bikes on that website (good site by the way, cheers ) i think its gonna have to be the TZR 125

quick Q... can i get a TZR 250 and get it restricted?

also can you ride a 125 with MORE than 14bhp on L plates / CBT? i'm never sure...

lil_me

Depends what you want to use the bike for , we got a DR125 as my partners first bike so he could use it on the local offroad tracks

Deano

Yes you can

Fudgey

Jim Galbally

Deffo steer clear of the Aprilia/Cagiva!! Nice superbike styling but they are shite quality and even if u get a reasonably new one your still gonna encounter loads of problems!! Replacement parts are a mint and not too easy to get hold of either!! I owned an RS50 fpr about a year then I moved on to a YZ125 crosser!! Very recommended! Mine was lightly tuned (Dep exhaust / Race reeds) and was absolutely awesome!! Kept with a ZX-R 750 to 100mph!! Well reliable, bits were easy to get hold of and cheap!! Also cheaper on insurance than Aprilia/Cagiva!!

Heres a nice example...

them honda hornets arnt bad, the 250 ones, and although you will hear they are rare, the parts are quite easy to source

Jim Galbally

deano, it's cheap (he wants 400 but i recon i can get him to 300), looks ok (the pics on there are old, looks better now, fairing n seat replaced) and needs about 20quid spending on it to get it workin

gonna look at it this week.

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

get the brakes sorted first then mate!

Jim Galbally

oh, and if i drop it, it wont really matter as its a cheap bike :P

fudge, as for power i'm REALLY not fussed, i'd be happy with a 50cc :P

also i'm deffo after a sports style bike, i just dont like any other kinda bike

complete oposite to how i feel about cars, i dont care what it looks like as long as it's quick

Redeye Jedi

I would also recommend a CG125!! 4 stroke for a start which is a big benefit over most 125's!! Dont look much but they are quick and cheap as fook!!

Look at this... Only 3 years old!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...540128202&rd=1

Jim Galbally

i'm, sorry but that is really NOT the kinda bike i want i'd rather get the bus

Redeye Jedi

Jim Galbally

i mean thats how i feel about cars...

as for the bike, i want a sportsbike shape bike that will be SLOW i purposely wnt a slow one

here's a pic of that bike i'm gonna look at from the other side:


aparently since the pic was taken its had a new mirror n new tank.

i mean for 300quid can i really go wrong?

Redeye Jedi

Spose u int got much to lose! Probly be ok if ur gonna ride it slowly... I used to redline my fifty on a regular basis which is probly why it was fooked, but ive only heard horror stories about these type of bikes!!

Crosser is deffo the best all rounder though and i reckon u could get a cheapo off Ebay and super moto it, would look the dogs!!

Jim Galbally

really dont fancy a crosser, want a 100% road bike, its going nowhere near the wastelands :P

Jim Galbally

rudey, i'd rather shoot myself in the head with a nailgun than ride a scooter

i know a little 125 replica bike stil doesnt exactly have much "street kred" but i'll look like a 16 year old chav ona fookin scooter

Benn 304R

that bike is like your saf, made to look like something its not

cant stand them bikes lol unless its a proper one with a decent engine lol
would rather have a scooter to be honest or a crosser like the one above somewere on ebay.

wouldnt have a bike fall stop tbh, if i did it would be a full on chopper

Jim Galbally

can see you riding a harley or something actually benn

Jim Galbally

woohoo, done my CBT today

really enjoyed it and want to go ahead now (altho no way do i wanna get anything as FOOKIN SLOW) as the bike i was using today... 0-30 in 10 seconds or something silly

one thing i really suck at is low speed balance... as soon as i get to a jogging pace i'm 100% but going slower, and im wobbling all over the place

RstNut

Nice one Jim

Deano

My heart say congratualtions ...................... my brain says ............... AVOID BROMLEY WHEN RIDING A BIKE


Well done

Fudgey
