Best thing i did was getting my licence Lewis............Its the nutz!!
I did my Lessons & test up at Donnington, they teach you to corner on the melboourne loop (if its not booked up!) It was amasing driving in there for a week! Was always ragging around the fiesta in there
Got enough bollockings! 
As you say Deano the aprilla is the closest bike to a GP 2 stroke, but i definatly thinking alomg the lines of a RGV250!!!
I forgot how good them 2 stroke bullets are

Yes mate..........without dissing the derby massive on here, that place the test centres in is a SHITE HOLE!
We went through a council estate & i got cut off from the pack (don't ask!)
Next thing i'm in a Cul de sac having to turn round (this is after giving the local chav's some stick )
When i turned back round, one of the fecker set his staffie on me.........i was getting chased up the road kicking this staffy away!
Was proper funny!!!!

To say I shit myself would be such an understatement

But the hilarious thing was , I got one fitted to the Fighter and whilst I was moving I wound it fully up
I was ok when moving, but when I stopped at some lights I tried to turn right and the fooking thing just went straight on nearly into a car showroom When I think about it , that bike tried to murder me every time I rode it
