Got my provisional license Smile
6 working days so Thumbs Up to the dvla =p

Now just to book my cbt, which i will hopefully do within a fortnight.

Then the hardest part (imo) finding a bike...
I'm after a geared 50cc, preferably dirt bike styled but that isn't vital.
Oh yeah and has to be pretty local...

Just thought i'd share that..If anyone has advice i'd be grateful.
Hopefully this will be my last thread asking about 50cc's.
Smile
Also will i be a 'ped boii' ? lol
Thanks,,

Worry about whats best for you and getting you learning at a good pace while keeping your licence long enough to come out and play with the big boys in time. Pretty cool is not the way to pick a bike Thumbs Up Mr. Green

I can't comment on them as such because I've never ridden or even seen one. All I know is that it's hard to get Aprilia parts. I think it would be ok, but I'm certainly no expert (or even amateur) with them. There will be plenty of people on the forum who can help you out though. Thumbs Up

Bear in mind that a lot (not all) 125s, will have been absolutely thrashed and repaired by hamfisted teenagers Mr. Green Thumbs Up
