There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Nope, 19 and pay out the bum for insurance on both vehicles!

Its sort of an apprenticeship - but money isn't if that makes sense.

Do one day a week at Uni studying civil engineering, which doesn't really have much to do with my job!

Well fair play. I worked through my degree, and took a year out and worked instead of travelled. Left owing about £1,600 four years later.

I ran a bike back then, a TZR125.

Thats pretty well managed. I know plenty of people (at work) who ended up leaving Uni with upwards of £15k in debts!

Well done for working 4 days a week! Not many students seem to bother working - at least the ones I know!

Too many students seem to have empty timetables but still manage not to work and spend their time dossing around in their underwear!

take the bike to uni
then get the girls to drive you.

You get the best of both worlds

Yeah scratting round under cars when it's snowing is a really $hit way to earn money. Most of my money went on rent.
