I like you already

You are potentially a curvy owner and probably know the Peak District area quite well. (I'm easilly pleased)

There's a fair few of us that like to frequent that region, including myself. Keep your eye on the Madlanders section.

Definitely a good choice of bike, but I'm not so sure about the location - they're a bit funny up your way

If you've still got the 125, you're welcome to join a few of the other pennine massive lot on a trip to sunny Squires on Sunday.

well yes, but dont go changing from 3rd to 1st in a hurry, it might catch you out.

take it gentle and make sure you slow down with brakes and then change gear untill you get more used to it the you be changing down without breaks and think its normal untill you try in on a 4. I have ridden both so know the difference
