There's a few other ped types here so I wouldn't worry! Good luck for the test!

Are you sure this is the place for you? You seem to sensible to be here, restricted ER5. Wink

Seriously though, wise choice.

i wont miss my bloody scooter when its gone

nothing wrong with it except...

its painfully slow crawls to 60 (just) in about a long weekend

you get no respect from other road users who will over take you just on the basis you are a scooter...

when you overtake some nit wit going 45mph in a perfectly straight 60mph road they intentionally speed up so you cant get passed

but hey, its great round town...

...except i live in the country side!

i was thinking of going to a local (ish) town (darlington) where i could go and do some shopping and when i get back it will be gone (whoo more fool the theif)

except i will only end up paying the insurance back as my quotes will be higher Confused

oh and its £282 TPFT insurance for a Bandit 600 or er-5 at my age (19)

or £252 for the speedshite

Hello and welcome Thumbs Up

I know what you mean about having a very slow form of transport to get around the countryside on - YAWN!

Best of luck passing your test and 'loosing' those old restrictors Very Happy

Morning, and welcome.

Good luck with the test.

Can I ask why you are choosing the ER over the bandit if the insurance is the same?

Infact the Bandit is slightly cheaper insurance than an er-5

but as i have only been on the road since october i am a riding retard and dont trust myself on a bandit

also being like 6ft 3 tall i found an er-5 quite comfortable at the riding school (allthough i cannot ride on in my training)

i have been using a yamahahaha SR125 Neutral

to do my training on

i thought i was a safe rider untill i started my test training and now realise i know nothing...

Wahoo, another local rider!

Where abouts are you from?

You say darlington is local to you so you cant be too far off. I'm from Middlesbrough. (Stockton to be more precise)

Welcome to the forum though Thumbs Up
