Thought I would introduce myself properly.

I'm Andy as the username suggests (lots of thought and imagination went into it).

I live in Chepstow and work in Bristol so it was costing me about £250 a month just to go to work, so I figured I would get a scooter to cut costs, and boy did they do that. Slightly cheesed off that I missed out on avoiding the CBT by 2 months so after the cost of everything the scooter paid for itself after 3 months.

I just recently went up to a suzuki intruder 125 and can't even look at the scooter anymore (even though the speedo says it has managed 58mph downhill with a tail wind).

Since I have about 1 year 4 months left on my CBT I'm going to use the time to decide whether to go up to a bigger bike or just stick with the 125 for a bit.

Anyway nice to meet you all, I hope my stay here is a pleasant one Laughing

try and get your test done,before they change all the tests and make it impossible to understand


Could say the same to you Laughing




Hi there, welcome BCF. It is worth it to do the tests and just get the damn thing out of the way and a new A category on your licence set in stone Smile
I've yet to do MOD2, but i'll do that in the spring when it is a bit warmer Razz
You can wait till then, because by 2012 is around the time of new test limit implementation (2013 at the latest). You've got time, but still get your skates on and get half of it done to get you on a roll and interest yourself to do that last bit Thumbs Up

i don't get it rob do you have a restricted license or something? because you have had that fazer for ages in your sig and avatar, just get it done lad! i just got mine out the way god it felt good. how can you have a big bike and never ride it! i couldn't wait to get off my cg (no matter how much i loved it and wish it was still here) and jump on a proper fast, mile munching, fun bike!

to the OP. i would probably do the test and get a bigger/geared bike. go for maybe something like an er-5 kwak or a cb500, there great on fuel and regular 'commuter' bike. Honda dueville is another to check out. good mpg 50+ a lot quicker when you do fancy a blast and great for over takes.
