So, I went on my free ride earlier and loved it lol, was on a Suzuki EN 125 which seemed an ok comfortable ride. Got my CBT next week so I went on a mission to Hein Gericke in Leicester. 290 quid late I walk out with a new lid, jacket, trousers and gloves lol, having bought some patrol boots yesterday, so I'm all set. see pictures.

ouch that must hurt, even if it's not yours anymore.

Yes! definately a blue bike, black should be ok, but deffers not red hehe, EN is an option but also been seeing a few ybr's for around 1k, not sure if it's because its the end of summer that the price seems to have gone down a bit, couple of weeks ago I didn't see one for less than 1150

The Ybr is a really solid traditional learners bike & for £1k you should get a fairly recent low mileage bike - as long as you buy privately (dealer would want a few hundred more). It will hold its value pretty well for when you want to move up to a bigger bike. Check Ebay, there's never a shortage of them usually Thumbs Up

Uncanny, that's the same outfit that HG sold to a workmate a couple of years back. Confused

Laces look slack!

On a serious note though. I had the very same style pair of boots until just recently. May I make a suggestion.

Invest in a pair of woolly hiking socks and wear them. The wind tends to whistle through your boots on a cold day the woolly socks will help.

'kin 'ell those socks look special! I don't even wear socks with my boots. No doubt in the depths of winter that will change but not at the moment it won't. I also like a jacket that covers the arse or sits on the hip, nicely.

Ah but does the wind whistle through your boots? I wore normal socks for a few days on the bike and with cold feet the ride wasnt as much fun as it should have been. Warm socks sorted the problem out and I recomend them.
