Having thought long and hard about coming up with something to drag me away from the pc at wifes request because I spent too long here I have found one, Riding! Here is my new mount. Complete with 10 year old daughter holding on in case she falls of the stationary mount! :noidea:
OMG - I hope that's a motorbike and you ain't just pleased to see me eep: The little one has every right to be petrified - but it maybe the squirrel sneaking up on her on the fence Nice bike - what's the spec etc?
Squirrel? That looks like a skunk. Might explain the look on Little Wisener's face! Hope you enjoy the bike although I don't think the wind through your hair will achieve much...:bolt:
I must point out that the hair is by choice and not as a result of age or thinning Its a Kymco KR125 Sport Kymco :: The NEW KR Sport Motorcycle
Hobbies Perhaps fishing would have been a better compromise. 1. The Ladies are not too keen to keep you company. 2. Being on the River or Lake Bank alone would mean you could have a Laptop with a Wireless modem to fill in the blank moments. 3. Softer landing if you fall off. 4. Just me being devious.
nice idea, however there is a downside, wife would be expecting me to catch fish and cook dinner, so no!
I'm told that when we get to "a certain age" men opt for motorbikes when approaching 40 and women, open top cars when approaching 60. I wonder what that means??????
Its a start for me, going to do the theory test next, which is a pain that you have to do that even though I have a full driving license but you need to do it. Then my A2 restricted test and I can get a bigger bike Passed my basic training today so quite pleased with that. You certainly have to jump through hoops these days to get on a bike!
Getting there now So I did my CBT training on the 27th August, its a 1 day safety day everyone has to do now before legally driving a 125 on the road and I passed it. Had to do the theory test and passed it on the 2nd Sept. I am now doing a short DAS, which is 15 hours of training before the test. I have to do 5 hours on a 125cc, already done 4 hours so just 1 to go. then I use the Schools 500cc bike for the final 10 hours and go for the test right after. Once I get through that I can drive whatever I like
Interesting. Here you have to ride a bike under 500cc for a certain period of time after getting your licence before you can "upgrade".
They have something similiar here, its called the A2 licence, that prevents you from riding a bike that outputs more than 33 Brake Horse Power for 2 years. Before you can do the DAS course that I am on you must be at least 21 years old, for that I do meet the requirement by more than 15 years
