Hello
 

Names Josh im 16 and turning 17 in july then i am taking my restricted licence if the money situation allows me! and hopefully getting a restricted SV but for now i'm still on my piaggio nrg after writing my aprilia rx50 off into a van oops......... :smt010:smt010:smt010

Can't wait to **** some car drivers off for all the times they have ****ed me off on me little scooter!

Been looking around on ebay keeping my eyes open for the right one at a good price, i've heard there about the best beginner bike you can start on for a big bike. plus being a twin meant to be good with restricters in so i've heard so thats what my mind is set on i'll keep dreaming till i've actually done my test but fingers crossed it all goes well and my birthday can't come soon enough!

Look forward to speaking to some of you and seeing your bikes.

Thanks Josh
:D:D:D

Re: Hello
 

Spped play - you got there before me!!

welcome to the forum. Beware of the animals ( except the Hamster!!)




though best drop the attitude - cars/van will normally always win in a battle!!
most of us carry battle scars to prove it!

Re: Hello
 

Howdoo and welcome. Ride safe :)

Re: Hello
 

welcome :)
don't feed the animals...

Re: Hello
 

CRAP are all the life boats full?
I'd be willing to settle for a life vest if there are any of those still available.

Re: Hello
 

Cheers fellas ride safe!

Re: Hello
 

how dooo

Feed all the animals and see what happens :smt080

Re: Hello
 

Welcome to the asylum.

I'm not sure there's much point trying to p*ss the cagers off. Just accept that most of them are cr*p drivers and overtake when the opportunity comes.

Re: Hello
 

Welcome.

Stay out of the way of automobiles, did you not learn during your altercation with the van?

Re: Hello
 

Josh big welcome to the site but please calm down a little and change your attitude before getting something more powerful than your Piaggio.

Yes car drivers can be a royal pain but sometimes they just don`t see us.... i`m guessing, as you`ve already written of your aprilia into a van, that maybe you need to improve your observation skills?

Attitudes like yours scare me and I don`t want you to be yet another statistic to add to the already way too large number of motorcycle fatalities.

Calm down lad!!! :D

Re: Hello
 

Welcome Josh :)

As others have said, cars will win in a coming together, so try not to find out.

Even a restricted sv will leave most cars standing so just wait a few seconds then smoke em :)

Most important advice I can give, stay alive !!

Sounds like a cocky 50cc'er to me...

Re: Hello
 

I'm sensible accidents happen didn't mean to write my bike off I mean smoke a few cars that have been impatient while I'm on my ped

Re: Hello
 

Hey, it's cool, nobody sets out to crash (except that Svengali guy on Youtube), just a warning that there's no point being aggressive when you're the vulnerable party.

I hate to think what insurance on an SV for a 17 year old is gonna be...

Re: Hello
 

Wont be that bad with 33bhp restricters there is a few 17 year olds out there with restricted svs so its possible

Re: Hello
 

33bhp makes no difference to insurance. I expect it won't be cheap but it shouldn't be too bad either.

My advice,
1: Get a cheap curvy you won't mind bending a bit
2: Make sure your insurance company is reasonable about 33bhp "certificates" before you start the policy
3: Ride fast on nadgery B roads. Any fackin pussy can open throttle in a straight line.

Re: Hello
 

What have you done with the REAL yorkie_chris?

Thats a number of posts today where we have been in agreement.

When will normal service be resumed?

Re: Hello
 

Mr Preston may have been at YC's today

Re: Hello
 

420 quid was the cheapest i got quoted and near 500 for a honda hornet.

Re: Hello
 

What's that for, TPFT?

Doesn't seem overly bad.

Re: Hello
 

That aint mines 456 tpft with years no claims

Re: Hello
 

Yeah TPFT i did it on mcncompare.com and that was cheapest i got for an sv

Re: Hello
 

sounds about right, mines £360 with 1 year no claims and i'm 18

also, insurance on a curvy is less :)

Re: Hello
 

Don't mean to be stupid but whats a curvy lol
:confused::scratch:

Re: Hello
 

the earlier SV had a curvier front end and fairing = Curvy
the later SV had a pointy front end and fairing = Pointy
The change happened in 2003, it also went fuel injected and the frame shape changed that year :)
