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

Default My New Suzuki.... UPDATE !!!!!

Handles like crap - no accelleration whatsoever.

But then, what do you expect from a GN125 :P

Hire bike for a week until test.

So if you see me on the roads of London.

Please dont laugh !!!!

Would have thought everyone would be too busy laughing at supercars in traffic to laugh at you.

It's all about corner entry speed and keeping up the momentum.

HAH!

On this thing its about trying to keep up with Vespa's

No Joke.

Theres me, Bike Boots, Draggin Jeans, Mesh, Armoured Jacket, Proper gloves, struggling to keep up with some girly on a Scooter wearing slippers, jeans and a sweater....

Maybe if I leave the safety gear at home and try the go-faster slipper approach.......

HEHE

Still bright point of the day, just got a call with the Reg of my new pointy, and now have it insured

T-Minus 7-days, 1 hour till retest (and most definately counting)

David, considering Frith St for tomorrow night so the Massive can have a giggle

I did my CBT on a GN125, and then started riding around on a 1986 CG125-BR. The GN was a great bike in comparison! I wouldn't worry about folks laughing at you.

Other than that, good luck on the re-test

Not that worried about others laughing - too busy laughing at myself to worry about others :P
