Non sexual? I'd call that pretty sexy. Nice one.

Oh, it's very sexy. But I can't gain sexual pleasure from it.....

Actually, on second thoughts... Nice bike attracts nice girls = fun! :) lmao!

It sounds so good too! Nice 4-stroke engine XD

The complaint of 98% of the male population on the planet.

Nice bike though. Not being a bike guy, I dunno if that is good or not so good, but looks alright.

Wow, I've never considered being a biker, but that looks cool :D.

I guess though that you have to pass a motorbike driving test first?

To be able to ride a bike, you need to do CBT, Compulsory Basic Training.

Takes you through some basics off-road first, then you do them on-road in a two hour ride out.

After you pass, you can ride a bike (with restrictions, cba to explain them) for two years displaying L Plates. Within that two years, you have to pass your test or re-do the CBT.

I passed CBT on 2nd May :)

You dont have to drive small engined cars and insurance doesnt cost £lol at all if you look in the right places, im driving a 2.5l straight 6 and piers drives 2.5l V6 twin turbo, I even learned on a big 2.0l turbo (diesel) saloon and the insurance was fairly cheap ( in my own name so im coming up to 2 years NCB as well).

It's just people have too many assumpitions about young drivers so there parents go out and buy brand new tiny cars with 1.0l engines that arent worth 50% retail 1 year later thinking they are "saving on insurance" :D

But even then I still would have liked to have a 125cc bike when I was 16 since they are pure awesome :)

Tbh, the limit doesn't bother me, 'cos it gives me time to save for a big bike XD WOOP!

As for fun at the weekends... Weekday too! It's my transport to College now!! :) No more bloody train in the morning. I can actually enjoy my travel to College!

VH: 50cc shouldn't be mentioned unless you're talking about chainsaw engines...

lol Ez insurance for bigger cars is ridiculous its only coz piers is insured on another car with 3 other adults he can even drive his over car really, an a good second hand twn car is the best buy really dont devalue that much an easy to sell + running costs r low, just not as fun as drivin a bike or faster car :P

No it really doesnt I used to be the main policy holder on my 2.0l turbo vectra and that was £800 a year.

gocompare can be surprising sometimes.

Like 1 price half of the rest.

But when its not Quinn direct, CIS and Bell are usually reasonable.

LOL PT, I guess you're right :P

I got a new mountain bike, and going 15mph on that in the rain is shit scary enough, I'd hate to ride a Motorbike in those conditions.

White lines = OH SHI-
