I personally would be disappointed if wither of mine showed an interest in biking, I certainly never would encourage it. At 16 I wanted a ER50, quite a few friends had them and I longed for one, my old man said he would help me buy one but if I did he would never help me with buying a car. I waited 18 months and passed my test and my old man true to his word stood guarantor on the loan.

Don't forget to get your next of kin to inform the forum in the event of your death, we don't want to trawl TSI, TFSI ect.. for you to turn up safe & well

CBT lol, when they introduced it we ( several hundred Despatch Riders) took the challange to pass it at Battersea Park, the winner getting a set of hand made Lewis Leathers. The kajority of us FAILED, there was a flaw in the test. It was designed for the two popular makes of 125. We were riding 750/1000/1100/1200 and in one case a 1300. The wheelbase was too long to do the cones, we were wobbling about like fools trying not to go foot down. Which we obviously did. A lot of us were experienced on trials and or motocross so know about balance. They eventually adjusted the test becasue even the Suzuki GS125 was too long for the stipulated distances between the cones. I passed my bike test in 1981, you rode around the block twice. Did an emergency stop. I passed on my brand new 125, went home and took out my GSX750 I had also bought. Not really the brightest idea but I survived!!! Then I went power mad, GT750 two stroke, stan stevens tuned. GSX750 engine blueprinted, Russ Collins drag 4 into 1 pipe . CB1100R ,RD350, nutty little two stroke revs hit 5500 and wroooooooooooooooom. A load more over the years, now fancy a retro GSX1400, its nicknamed the floating armchair, its comfy, not a "boy racer" and is really classy.
Ahh well, untill tomorrow. Pain Clinic, if they can manage this leg pain i`m back in the market :D:D

Current bike. Bandits come in 600 and 1100 formats. Think they made the 1400 because they could, as Honda have the CB1300, a similar looker. Krapasukkie ( can you guess never liked them) had the Kz1300 6 cylinder, a mess really but a beast too. Ridden it a few times.
CBX1100 was a 6 cylinder Honda, nutty as fook too. M8 had one with nitros and a turbo. One has a Triumph Rocket 3 2300 cc with nitros, but he is Welsh and lives in Scotland so it says it all. Pic is the Honda CB1300.
Sorry my error the CBX 6 cylinder was a 1000cc

Cracking wee bike - my brother had one of those until he passed his test then upgraded to a VFR800.He has since went up again to a CBR1100 Blackbird (all within 2 years).

Well i took it out today for a test ride for about 45 mins, its great, really comfy and big looking so a fat git like me doesnt look too much like a pleb on it. Spent £300 on jacket, pants & gloves so i should be nice n warm n safe. Deposit paid on the bike, pick it up saturday, cant wait!!!
