Hi all

I have been lurking the forums for a while and decided I needed to say hello!

I had a sachs xtc 125 a couple of years ago, and loved it! I have booked a DAS course and test so int he market for a first "big" bike. THe Sachs weighed a ton so weight should be too much of a problem.

I live in Pewsey (am not in fact my own uncle! :P) and am going to need some people to ride with when I pull the trigger on a bike.... Have my eyes on a 1990 VFR750. The budget for a bike is as cheap as possible allowing for comuting. Insurance is soooooooo much cheaper since I hit 25 ( this month ::))

Look forward to meeting up with you all.

Nothing to stop you going to a meet in a car, people frequently do for one reason or another. Everyone will be pleased to meet you even if you came along by bus! ;)

Well thanks for the warm welcome!

The gas is not from beans, sprouts etc! I register a yahoo email years ago (2000 :D) and it was a recomendation, kept it as a internet id ever since.

Pewsey bakery is good, but its no gregs [smiley=thumbsup.gif]. Marlborough has its advantages.

Where do you guys recommend doing your DAS? Cant decide if mine is expensive or not.

I did my training with Riding in Action (now linked to George Whites), but I've heard that a certain Able Training is meant to be pretty good too ;D

Only other school I know is Abbey Training in Swindon, but not heard anything good about them at all!!!

Who you doing yours with?
