..Because i passed my CBT!!!!! I am absolutely thrilled and haven't actually stopped grinning yet! I did also experience my first face-tarmac interaction. I fell off in the carpark itself and trapped my leg between the handlebars and the bike meaning that i burnt my new leathers on the engine :( the second one was on the turn into wicks carpark, i saw a car and had the natural response *panic* and did a rather impressive skid.
It was all worth it though as i had a fantastic time and cannot wait to get a bike of my own, i think it might have to be a van van though, unless anybody else has any other suggestions?
I've got to say a huge thank you to Nicko, he kept me laughing all the way and i will never forget about the 'Giant knickers'! on roundabouts. Able Training are fantastic and i would recommend them to anybody, especially somebody who's a bit nervous!
So finally, i need a new forum name, any suggestions??

Well done :) :)
Well done, all you need now is a bike to have fun on!!
WELL DONE YOU..........congrats to able training too.......but well done to you on passing [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Well done passing your test [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Maybe: "Fit looking girl on a bike" too long maybe? "Fit Biker Babe"? ;D
wellie dunie! what style a bike you gonna get?? as 4 the name, dunno, maybe FrontseatRider!!
Well, seeing as you're embarking on a PhD, how about something like "The Doctor" or is that too obvious?
Might be an idea not to broadcast what you'll be researching too much, you never know which sanctimonious nut-job from the God-squad reads it and embarks on their own personal fundamentalist crusade to ensure everything is left "as God created" or some similar bollocks... ::)
Congrats on the CBT pass - see, told you in Wales that you'd be wanting your own soon enough ;) Congrats on your first off too, you've got that out of the way so it won't be such a big deal now 8-)

I may know of someone who's got a 125 for sale and I could probably get it off him for around £500 if that's any use to you??
I think it's a 2000 Suzuki Marauder or something very similar. It's a good bike and I've riden it so I know that it's not a turd, which some bikes are at that price, so PM me if you're interested and I'll use my charm to knock him down a bit [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Oh yeah as for the name, it all depends on your ride or you could use your first name like I seem to have even though I sign on as CBRowner :-?
Congrats well done on passing your CBT [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
well done you [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thank you all! Some good name suggestions too, i've also had AnatoMiss suggested, what with the recent anatomy degree and all. Emlyn I'll let you know about the bike, sounds a really good price! I am now extremely sore, the weight of the bike has certainly left it's mark on me, i just can't wait to get back on now!
Congrats on passing.
Forum name....erm.....no good at this.....took me ages to come up with my forum name ;D
Well done Rachel, good on you.

I still have the bruises 3 weeks after dropping the bike on me, hope you wake up tomorrow not feeling as sore as you are now. :)

Grats on passing, I go with Dex just Rachel or your nickname of Rachel that you used to use.
Congrats to you [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Well done.
When I first signed on I was Black Bonnie as that was what I was riding and people shortened it to BB so when I trashed the bike I decided to become BB :)

Well done on your pass! I'm proper rubbish at thinking of names......but i think Nicko should change his to "Giant knickers" What d'you reckon?!
RachaelEllen
24-07-10, 08:15 PM
I am now no longer PillionRider, i am AnatoMiss, hope you all take to the change ok, if not you can just call me plain old Rachael ;D
"Anatomiss" I like it [smiley=thumbsup.gif] and all this name choosing makes me wonder if I should go back to my old one "Gatso"
What ya think ?
PS. I also like "Rachael" and I don't think your that plain :-)

Moo, i've got my eyes on a Honda CG 125, fingers crossed hopefully going to see it tomorrow, shall let you know how it goes! Any things i should be looking to check when i'm looking at a used bike??
Hope tomorrow goes well looking at the bike (not the best person to give advice at what to look for so will leave that to the others) - be good to have you join us on a ride soon :)

Now how do i delete this before dad sees ;D
hehe very true - always take someone else with you and make sure you listen! I'd decided to buy mine as soon as I saw a photo on the internet :P
Good choice of name Anatomiss!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] I agree with Dabz, best take someone sensible, listen to them etc. etc. but bear in mind that 'love' for a bike, ALWAYS overrules everything else!! ;D
I try not to go and look at bikes I'm inclined to come home with the darn things.... :-[

I've just gone and bought one! Got a 2006 Honda CG 125. Got her from a consultant anesthetist and she is all sparkly and beautiful, even came with a givi topbox. I can't wait to pick her up now eee, watch out here i come!
Best of luck with the new bike, the cg125 is an excellent choice, strong, dependable and easy to maintain. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Remember, there's no feelin like 2 wheelin!!! 8-) :D ;D
Brilliant bike to learn on - have fun [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Congrats!!
The old CG has been around for ever, I used to ride my dads when I was learning in 1982!! ;D

I rode one in 1980 when my CB900F was having its first service. Was great fun if I can remember correctly. Enjoy your first bike - good choice.

Like the new forum name Rachael (and apologies for mis-spelling your real name earlier in this thread !! :-[ )
I bought myself a CG125 to ride for a while before i took my road test back in 1991.
I found it a great little bike, reliable, easy and fun to ride.
Hope to see you out on it soon .... oh ..when I'm back on two wheels !!
;) [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
