  1. Very nice looking bike you have,love big kawasakis
  2. I had similar issues with my ex. She belittled everything that I had done. In the end after a lot of time and pain, I got out of there and have been happily single for quite a long time. Yes sometimes I think id be happy in a relationship but then I go back to what happened and just go back to being happy being single. Sorry I am not being much helpful but it just rang true with me. You obviously know what you are doing and just keep at it. All the best regards Thomas
  3. I have just passed my direct access 15/06/2017. The way I did it was. I did my cbt nigh on 2 years ago. I then decided not to do it. Late last year I wanted to do it. January I was booked in for 4 days training inc test. I fell off the training bike twice and lost my bottle. I failed my mod 1 and then decided to buy a 125. I bought my 125 and then went out with my father for a few months. Once back into it I started using the training bike again then did mod 1 no minors and mod 2 3 minors. The 125 helped me immensly but I am in no way a natural rider. Do what you feel safe with. All the best Thomas
  4. I had 2 offs while training and cracked a rib. I stalled in the training yard on a bend and the handlebar went into my chest and they picked the bike off me. I got told when I felt upto it try again so I did that fell off 20 yards at the next bend and trapped my leg under the bike. But alls well as it never put me off and I have a shiny new licence
  5. Thankyou I will take a look thanks again Thomas
  6. Thankyou my dad makes me ride up front so he can protect me and also see what I am up to so I decide the speed we travel at which suits me as I feel more comfortable that way
  7. Thankyou I have spoken to my training school about going out to get more lessons but I will look at a bikesafe course. Thanks again Thomas
  8. Thanks my dad seems to enjoy it, I make him a cup of tea seems a fair trade to me Yes i really am enjoying it I only regret not doing it sooner
  9. Thankyou my dad pulled alongside when we got to the toll booth and he was smiling asked if I was ok and said you enjoyed that didnt you. I couldnt hide the smile on my face
  10. As above I had my first ride out yesterday after passing my test on Thursday. My dad was following me. We went to a local bike cafe called Chequered flag and had something to drink. We went on a dual carriageway and I stayed behind the traffic as I would do on my little 125 Varadero. We pulled in and my dad says " I thought you were going to get past the traffic" Me personally would have loved to but I thought he might see it and give me a rollickin at the cafe. I got a couple of quick pictures then went to Trago mills in Liskeard turned round then headed home. I opened the throttle a little and overtook a car( please bear in mind I was on a straight and it was a dual carriageway and it was an old camper doing 35mph) I probably be heard shouted Shiteing hell fire from the next village. We got home and my dad washed and polished the bikes. Anyway a coupe of pictures. http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/montytom/20170616_125909_zpsuplxk0qm.jpg http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac137/montytom/20170616_125924_zpsbvsllknn.jpg Thanks for looking in Thomas
  11. Thankyou everyone. Its a better result than I had in January where I fell off the bike twice during training and cracked a rib. It has also ended my problems with tests. Car test failed first time passed 2nd time Tesco dot com driving assessment failed first time passed 2nd time HGV class 2 failed first time passed 2nd time HGV class 1 failed first time passed 2nd time Mod 1 failed first time passed 2nd time Mod 2 passed first time. My bike is taxed, Insured and ready to roll. Thanks again everyone for all the advice put through on these pages
  12. Hi all I passed mod 2 today so now have taken the L plates off my varadero and also insured the zzr600 and taxed it aswell. I honestly thought that I had failed but I got told it was a good ride. Really happy as I thought that I would never get through it.
  13. Thankyou I'm really glad I'm doing something about riding now. The only regret is I should have got myself in gear and done it sooner. Thanks again Thomas
  14. Haha welcome to the wonderfully expensive world of owning a bike Thankyou I must admit I'm seeing it as an investment more than anything else. Not money return but an investment in reliability as it's going to be looked after the best I can. Thanks again. I keeps looking back at this thread as im stuck in my lorry till Friday evening so it's a nice little thing to think about
  15. I have just bought a large touring screen for it so maybe fit that. It's having a large service on Saturday so anything it needs then it will get.
