Yeah, yes and no. I'm not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a bit over the wee yellow shovel. Thought I'd give the 2t thing a go, I test rode the bike I'm getting a while back, ooohhh so fun.

p.s, if you're not on there already, the thumpette forum on thumper talk is the best girl dirtbike forum I've seen. Most active anyway.

Cool, do they take the afternoon off work or is it a late night thing?

Don't know, but ktmboy will.

Don't let SpikedPunch's comments regarding DRZs put you off. They are an excellent bike to learn on. Low seat height, and can lug a bit if required. Well compared to an 85 or 100cc two stroke anyway.

SpikedPunch found the beginners track at Thundercross excellent to get to grips with the bike etc without having to worry about anything else. As a bonus women get in free!

**Reckless** · 3rd February 2009, 19:00

Rupe's correct about the Sandpit i think, although I've never been LOL I scare you all away!!
Secondly when we do a Mr Moto ride we take our kids and teenagers. Andy has 3 girls I think, my daughters learning, so there's lots of different levels of riders on those days. Even if we have a KB day at Thunder or The Sandpit You would be ok. We'd make sure you make it back to your car and you'd probably learn a lot more as well.

Sooo what time are all the girls out the sandpit???

hey Sammikins, Grace, Sophie and I are going to Thunder on Friday, by the sound of it, there will be several ladies at or about your skill level riding. My girls would love your company. Can't offer you a lift as the trailer will be full, but be good to catch up again if you can get there..... 0274272064.... Phil.

Try to PM KLXJT, she was a regular. But yeah, they have quite a little girlie group going out there on Wednesdays(don't think they work mid week) for most of the day.

Fairly quiet at the moment though due to the summer migration to the beach.
God bless bikini's
