Hi all,
I've been lurking around for the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed what I've seen so much I thought I'd say hi. :niceone:
Bike History:
I have been into bikes since my old man brought an old (1980?) CB350 when I was about 8yo and put me on the back. Got myself a mighty scooter for school transport as soon as I hit 15, bike l-plate @ 16 but still haven't got myself a bike. I was gonna restore the CB until my little sister started cage-driving lessons and crumpled it through the back of the garage with the car!
I used my mates 200 two-smoker to get around while at uni, but mainly around town and only a few hours on the open road.
Currently still on my learners (pretty sad at 24yo!), however a recent ride (read: slow put-put around the block) on a friends ratty GSXR1100 has urged me to pull finger and get licensed.
One question I do have regarding this: The only person I know with a <250cc is a friend with a large scooter (~80cc and is licensed as a m-bike). I know I can sit for my restricted/full on this, however, would it restrict my license in any way?
ie. similar to when you sit your cage license in an auto, you're only licensed for an auto until you resit the test in a manual.... or has that rule been thrown out since I sat the test?
Anyway - top site guys & gals and keep up the good work! Although I never new it exsisted until this past few weeks.
I'll do my best to suggest it to any biker mates I come across!
