hello!

[Toph]

hello everyone! my names Chris, I've lived in Trowbridge since 1971, I've always ridden bikes, ever since I was 16 on a ss50.as I have never taken my test(shame!) I have ridden a vast number of scooters and 125's for the best part of 34 years. I'm currently riding an Aprilia classic 125, it's a cruiser with the rotax 122 water cooled single 2 stroke engine. (same as the rs125') I ride it to work everyday, to a small familiy engineering firm where i'm a welder fabricator. I'm a 50 year old, married father of two teenage daughters, looking forward to chatting with you all!!

Hope I'm not chucking a spanner in the works but is your Theory still in date, that only lasts for 2 years too!

[bobf279]

I thought you only needed a theory test to take your bike test not the CBT. Have the rules changed?

[Toph]

Ive never taken a theory test jacde,Ionly take the cbt test because the law states that I must have one to ride, I have no intention of taking the driving test, I'm happy riding on "L" plates, I've ridden on them for 34 years,When they say I can't do it anymore, I'll have to sell the 125 and buy a 50cc scoot and ride it on my full car licence.

[Jacde]

It is for the bike test bob, was just wondering if Toph was hoping to get that under his belt once he'd done the CBT :)

[Jacde]

Ah ha! see above [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

It's a 1982 Honda CM250TB with about 18k on the clock.
It's also self fixing as it had two advisories last year and didn't get any this year. ;D
