[quote="biggus"][quote="enchantica"]Passed my Module 2 today, first time (unlike Mod 2).
Have smiled so much in ages!  [/quote]
 got a bike lined up?  [/quote]
Got a YBR125 at the mo but am looking - off to the Bike Show at NEC end of November so am sure to be spending there! Looking for something that looks good upto a 600cc. Although I am tall at 5ft 10 I struggle with the heavier bikes so need something I feel comfortable with...any ideas in advance greatfully appreciated! |

No point being brand specific but get out and test ride some different bikes at your local dealerships before you part with any money

Any bike larger than a 125 will feel heavy at rest, but once on the move, all that weight disappears. So don't let that put you off too much. Shop around.........
BTW - red is the fastest colour

Ambulance Kate was working, you obviously chose the wrong ambulance to get run over in front of. Keep trying, better luck next time!!
