Prepare yourself for a reply from Selik Laughing

Have owned many bikes in years gone by and enjoyed most of them - my current mode of 2 wheel transport is a Vespa LX125 which is...... different Confused and a lot slower than anything I've previously owned but then again it does hang on the back of my motorhome Cool

Very Happy lol, Thanks for that Andy!

Tis true, complete bike obsessive since the age of 3. I'm doing a DAS course, hopefully next month so I can get myself straight into the 500cc.
The advantages of being 21 Laughing

Hey! My dad rode a bike for years... I had a bike upbringing, it's only right I love them.
And yeah, a DAS course basically means that I can bypass the laws that restrict the engine size younger people have to ride before they can progress to a more powerful bike. Cool

No, she did hers before them. She got V. annoyed because BMW wouldn't sponser her to do it because she wasn't famous, unlike aforementioned McGregor.
