I sent off my nomination this morning.

As to my problem getting road experience on a 125cc,
he has come to the rescue.

No surprise there for anyone who knows him.

Nuff said.

Lovely all, thank you.

My Uncle (he is in fact my cousin technically but he's just much older so I call him Uncle to other people, not to his face of course), has ridden BMW-K-100's since he was...

I can't wait. ;)

Had my heart set on it for ages.

I had my heart on an old beemer and the 650cc (R65) seemed a less suicidal choice than the K-100 and K-75's I was offered. My uncle knows several dedicated BMW breaker yards and apparently parts are...

I understand the good advice given here thank you, I perfectly agree it would make sense to have my own 125cc, but unfortunately as with everything finances comes into it.
I have committed myself to...

thank you,

I've decided to have more lessons with Mark.

Essex,

Fancy a swap?

Really helpful guys, I will do as you say.

No Easter eggs today, but excited about getting on wheels.

I'm sorry, I want to post a link to a 125 cc Yamaha SR 125, to get your feedback on it. It's in Bristol so wouldn't be that hard to collect and ride back to Frome, but I need to have made 10 posts...

If anyone hears of one going around the Bath, Bristol or Frome areas for about 400-500 quid please let me know. Or of a place where I might be likely to find a 2nd hand one, thanks again. Looking...

Good point,

I put the cart before the horse, it's true.
On the plus side, it will be good to have a nice old bike waiting for me for when I do pass.
Trying to sort out a 125cc now, through...

Thanks all, some good advice there, there's a dealer here in the backstreets of Frome ( Frome Bike Breakers) who have some 125 cc's for under and around a grand, one KAM 125 for 625 quid, which would...

ok, how about a pushbike ? :-/

Cheers everyone for the encouragement,

Yes Mark is a very good teacher. I do well when I'm following him. We're trying to figure out a way for him to disguise himself as me for the test. He'll...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. :)

Hi,

It's good to find your site, it was recommended to me by Mark Able who is trying his best to get me through the Mod 2, which I failed last week mainly because of lack of road experience.
I'm...

Hello there,
After 6 years in Moscow teaching English , and a year in Spain, I 've ended up in Frome babysitting an Irish wolfhound while my brother's foot recovers from a toe operation.

The idea...
