Re: Bye bye License.

This really niggles me. I feel for you, I got caught doing 76 in a 40 on a dual carraigeway in 1999 (Plymouth embankment) and felt almost victimised. The only advise I can offer is exactly what the others have said, turn up early, well presented and with a good brief. I was facing a ban but by plead...

Re: Thoroughly disappointed with a CBR600RR

Hi all, I took an 07 CBR6RR for a test ride and was thoroughly disappointed. In my opinion a real disappointment as I had always liked the bike and had high expectations of it. Since I had a few hours spare this afternoon and the weather was good I took the SV to the local Honda garage to test ride...

Re: what can i have ritten on my new number plate?

Don't seem to see the logos so much nowadays;

I've had in years gone by: 'Bye Bye GTi' and also 'Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast'

I remember pulling up behind an old blade that just had 'spit or swallow?' which made me laugh.

Another fatality

Another accident on the 'Torpoint twisties' last night has resulted in a fatality. Sad news, I am sure somebody from this site will know who it is but at the moment no names have been released. Thoughts to his family :( More details: http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=181429&...

To be honest I have absolutely no idea what it is worth, I figured on about £500??

I paid £2k for it and have ridden it 7 times, I have also spent more than £1k on it since owning.

She was converted to a race bike at les...

I saw it being loaded into the back of a van at around 6pm on the way home last night.

The guy pushing it was wearing a leather jacket so I assumed he was the rider and OK.

If you want the view of an 'outsider' I actively post on other forums and regularly read through this one. One of the reasons I do not spend more time on this site is that it does appear to be over moderated. I read simon's posting on two other large international forums and nobody appeared to be bo...
