For all you bikers, a link to this just came up in my news feed from a discounts page I follow on Facebook. £5 Windproof thermal balaclava. No use to me, but thought some of you might be interested.  ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

I'm 5'7" and never had a problem. all local riding was fast road but iI did a lot of motorway miles too. iI can't remember the mileage but Amsterdam to Germany wasn't an issue, actually we did a few long days and iI was always comfortable. That said, the r6 iI had wasn't as aggressively style as the new ones, iI know the clip ons (handlebars) are at a move aggressive angle ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

My mates 2009 R6 was considerably less comfy but he often rode to Poole which is a good couple of hours away. Never heard him complaining much. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

I'm 6ft and weigh around 85kg, so not a small chap as such. Interestingly someone I was chatting to about bikes last year reckoned a 600 would be too small for me. I've never been and sat on one yet so I'm not sure. I wouldn't do huge mileage on it but just wondered about the comfort thing ________________________________________ 340 horses |

Nice bike Dave, that's lovely  In addition to the CBT & DAS, I have to do the theory test right? https://www.gov.uk/practise-your-driving-theory-test I guess I have to book that online and then sit the exam at a test centre of my choice?  Been quoted £795 for an intensive 5 day course including CBT & DAS, is that reasonable? ________________________________________ 340 horses |

I think the price has gone up now because of the changes, but the price has gone off the website that I used so can't confirm a price but another site local to me that was more expensive has also gone up to £790. So for London I'd say that's ok________________________________________ Wanted list... (P.m me if you have any)Rollcage. Strut Braces.

Thanks mate, I miss it daily  You need CBT, DAS and Theory, yeah You have to book your theory, then once that's done book CBT and start your DAS. I'm not sure how much the test has changed as I took it 6/7 years ago, but I knew thought there was more control work in a confined area now, rather than pottering around the roads and doing a U-turn ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

Jeez i paid £550 for CBT and a 4 day direct access course in Taunton, that was back in 2004 though.Might be worth looking at places back home CUJ; the roads will be less intimidating for a learner as well? |
