First Solo ride

[Tinkz]

Done my CBT in May and had been looking for the right 125 for a while, anyway got one last Monday, got insurance and tax sorted but because of the shift ive been doing decided to leave my first outing till this morning.
It was a buzz, a little nerve racking at first but after about 30 mins it was brilliant. done about 45 miles before getting home, cant wait till later when I skip out again. Taking it easy as I don't want potatoed, but the feeling of freedom over driving a car is night and day, its much more engaging too. Lovin it! even went to the petrol station just over £6 to top her up.

I got an 11plate Derbi terra adventure with 690 miles on the clock. Looks like it has just come out of the showroom. The first mot in November stated 89 miles. Brilliant fun. Still grinning just now.

Ahhh I see, well good luck, hope it serves you well

Looks like a well put together machine from that picture, my first was a Chinese Sinnis and had no problems with that so I have high hopes for yours
