It a pain in the ass jumping through all those hoops - but it sure feels good when you take those L plates off.

Even better when you get a nice bike too :D

Why?

Does he remove the number plate every time he rides down the road in front of thousands more people than would see the reg on the internet?

For anyone's information, my reg no. is KX09 AXO - it's a black Kawasaki Versys 650 Tourer with ABS. Clone it all you like, I cgaf.

They also walk through towns and cities and do exactly the same. Not much point in covering them TBH.

What a load of cobblers. You see more bike numbers walking around the bikepark at the NEC bike show.

Unjustified paranoia, that's what it is

Helllooooooo. I passed my test no so long back, its well worth all the hassle! Get yourself introduced to your regional group and get yourself out on some rides with them. Not that there are many of those at the moment with the weather being @rse. :D

Nice upgrades, looks great, now change your tyres for a descent grippy set and you'll be sorted and shouldn't need the crash bungs ;-)

Yeah, hoping they're never needed :smt045

Any suggestions on a good set of tyres what sort of price ranges i would be looking at? I imagine theres some threads (I'll have a look when i get chance)
