Well the story goes like this, about 18 months ago i was happly running about with my dtr125 to work etc got through winter and an altercation with a snowy road and a big verge, but my insurance ran out, cbt ran out etc and i had to give it up. Since then have move out of home and on my own so money was tighter so biking had to be left as a dream for the future.

Well i got to doing my cbt again on saturday, but i overslept and missed it i was gutted! so i though sod it i will get my car licence sorted out first and worry about bike next year, but i get told my cbt place they can fit me in again sunday mmmm skive work? and cage teache
said she to busy to take on new. Is this a sign to go for bikes?

i did 10k miles on my bike when i did it so i pretty sure that i can do cbt and pass test without any problems also when 17 3 or 4 ish years ago now did lessons to test standard but never did test, and go back into driving few months ago but had to stop cos busy with work and didnt like the 407 i had to drive. should i be sensiable get car sorted out then bike or follow my heart and get bike?

Aye, I used to like riding in winter but I'm finding it ball breaking at the moment, I need to take some time out to change my gear over for winter but time is not what I have at the moment! Doh...

Get the bike and enjoy it.

No reason why you can't buy a cheap bike and then once you have a little more money together, go for the driving lessons and test.
