A YBR 125 gains at least 5 MPH when the L plates come off.

MOD 2 passed this full morning for Full Big Bike License.

Get in.

Thanks to the regular posters on here that offer advice to us noobs.

I've heard it's the weight of L's that slows it down Wink

Good to hear man, any ideas what you'll get next?

You joke but mine had one of those hang-off-the-side-of-the-fork L Plates, made of plastic.

It's so much quieter since that has gone, not quite as much whistling, so maybe, just maybe ....

That's how mine was attached.

Not sure on the next bike. I definately want one but funds are short. I know it's the right time to buy but time the wrong time to sell so a bit buggered.

I'm 6,3 so any suggestions for a first hack are welcome.

Congrats on the pass! Now go round some showrooms, sit on a few bikes and start writing:

"Dear Santa, I've been a very good boy ..."
