Army surplus boots run up to size 12.

Anyway, now that we know your trouser snake shoe size, do you have a bike in mind for after you're licensed up?

Ferret - I have to say those are an attractive option only one thing concerns me and thats the lack of shin protection, however coupled with a pair of £2.99 umbro shinpads and i do believe ill look the proverbial mutz nutz!!

Rogerborg - ive had a few ideas and talked to an experinced friend of mine im leaning toward a ZX6R ( not a brand new one) around the 04/05 mark.
Im open to critique though.
