Hi all, new here thought i'd intro myself! did my cbt a couple of months back and planned to stay on a 125 for a year to get insurance down! however after getting pissed off with not being able to keep up with traffic........... I've booked me a das!
I passed my theory last friday and started my das today! bad news though i booked my test today and i can't do it untill 22 june Sad

Even worse i've bought a new bike and now just have to wait even longer!!!!!!!!! My 125 is a gilera coguar and i've bought a 99 'T' suzuki gsf-600 bandit (unfaired)
Well pleased with insurance though, i'm 29 and on my 125 my insurance was £134 my quote for when i pass to ride rhe bandit is £180, i really thought it was gonna jump right up Cool

Can't wait to get on the bigger bike, got a real feel for the 500 das bike, loved having more power and felt FAR safer! anyway nice to be here and look forward to being one of the "big boys" lol

Just finished my second das lesson, the REALLY annoying thing is the instructor said to me "if your test was tomorrow you'd sail through it!" I really wanted him to say was "you need 6 weeks of lessons" then i wouldn't feel so bad about waiting 7 weeks for a poxy test!! Evil or Very Mad

sigh, just staring at my shiny bandit - no fair! Rolling Eyes
