Hey All

[bikerbanditz]

Hi,

I just stumbled across the forum on google, and thought I'd better introduce myself. So umm, my names Tom at the moment I am riding a 50cc scooter and a Yamaha DT125. I am waiting to take my bike test and get a divvy or similar.

Tom

How long have you been riding for?

I had ridden on a CBT license for about 6 months (every day) when I passed my test. All I did was a single day's training, which cost me 180 quid (including a rental bike and the practical test itself)


I passed with two minors on my first attempt...

If you've been riding for some time on your 125 perhaps you could look into doing something similar to what I've done? You seem like a sensible enough person - I'm sure you ride well. A day's training is often all that's needed to work out the kinks in your riding and the instructor should warn you of any bad habits you have.

Of course not all schools will let you do a day's training, most only offer full packages. Luckily I managed to barter with this particular school, and they were extremely helpful and supportive, they even allowed me to stay on the rental bike for another 3 hours after my training to get used to it at no extra charge.

I was planning on doing the training schools free assesment to see how much tuition I needed. I have only been riding the DT for a month, it's my cousins bike but he's out of the country so all I am paying is the insurance.

hi Tom,
Wont go far wrong with a Divvy m8

[bikerbanditz]

[AN GOF.]

pretty bullet proof really, just keep an eye out on the orginal exhaust as they tend to rot. most have a 4 into 1 stainless steel Nexxus fitted which will last for years.

Should get about 66 mpg and insurance will be dead cheap as well.
Ohh and there good for 120 mph if speeds your thing.
