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

[Paper Tiger]

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

[Trigger]

It looks nice, but rather small to me...

[Paper Tiger]

The bike is rather small, but I love it still!

[Isphera]

It is rather small, but I love it still!

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.

[Paper Tiger]

Fuck it. I walked straight into that one... EDITING!

It's really nice. Good condition. Handles very well. It's a great bike! :)

[Chalex4]

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?

[Paper Tiger]

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 :)

[Frost Wraith]

nice :)

[D_K_Head]

Epicness... That is a NICE looking bike.

[ez64]

You got a lot for your money with bikes but its a shame your limted to 125cc for a minimum of 2 years :(

still it looks really really fun for the weekends :)

[Target]

Yeh bikes r fun to drive compared to small engined cars, drove mates scrambler was good rush :D

[ez64]

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 :)

[Vicious Horizon]

Well, I guess we know how we can make a bike.. sexual..
But I won't go there :P

That's a nice bike, my mate's getting a 50cc one when he does his exams xD

[Paper Tiger]

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

[Colonel Mitch]

I like my insides to stay in and my outsides to stay out :P

[Target]

Hehe yeh and stay dry when it rains and warm when its freezin :P

[Paper Tiger]

That's part of the joy of riding!

I love it. Had to ride in the rain today. Was shit scared of the white lines though... Or any road markings... Not to mention drain covers... What do you expect though? Second time riding the bike! lol

[Target]

Lol wait till its really windy, its not much fun riding then, or icy :D

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

its just looking for the right deal most people go on gocompare.com and think thats good :D

[Colonel Mitch]

gocompare can be surprising sometimes.

Like 1 price half of the rest.

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

[Vicious Horizon]

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-

[Target]

LOL 15mph u can prob run that speed dwn hill :P

[Vicious Horizon]

>.< I'm talking about a flat street in the rain.

Lol, I've hit 30 down a hill once, didn't dare go any quicker =S

[Target]

As if u got riding in the rain :D
