First of all, a BIG hello! From Burnley!

My name is Gary.

I recently bought a Derbi CrossCity 125. Some people say they don't like it, however, I do, and it's not them that are going to be riding it.

I spent, enough, on buying it.

It's still getting registered as we speak and I pick it up next week. 2011 plate YAY!

I'm doing my CBT on saturday and I am very confident about that so any advice about that would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Hi Gary

I like those Derbis, good little bikes. Something a bit different to the usual cg's/ybr's. Keep on top of the maintenance and keep it clean and you wont have any problems with it (my senda still looks good after two years of abuse).

Your cbt will be fine, there's nothing major to worry about so just enjoy it and take in everything your instructor has to say.

Good luck Thumbs Up

Welcome and have fun on your CBT! My instructor took me out on some dual carriageways and I had to coax as much as I could out of a CG125 to keep up at 65mph or odd. Terrifying on your first ever trip out, but exhilarating too.

So have fun!

Hi Gary, I hate to tell you this but if you look closely at the photographs there are signs of possible front end damage.. you might might want to get that looked at. Laughing

OMG I feel for you! That is a sad sight.


Are you insured Third Party Only? If you are, whatever you do, do NOT, I repeat

Do NOT tell your insurance company!

Just scrap the bike or sell it for spares and keep your mouth firmly shut. You are legally obliged to tell your insurer about any accident no matter how small whether it is your fault or not but you will not be rewarded for your honesty, they will rape you in the @ss by increasing your premiums if you let them know your bike has been totaled.



Oh, I forgot: If someone has made a claim against you then you are probably stuffed anyway, but if you wrapped the bike around a lamp-post or something then as far as they know, it never happened.
