Have you had any randoms shouting 'do a wheelie' at you yet? If you do itll probably be me.

Try getting a BIC biro, take the insides out leaving just the outside and put it against your ear and you should be able to hear the air passing past. Its what ive been told in the past. I dont think its very good for setting up fuel mixtures, but it should be ok for balancing.

Do a wheelie!!!!!!! Have you still not done one yet? Not even a little cheeky one?

£30 a month is laughin'. I think once i feel im mature enough i may well add a wheelie bike to my fleet. Always wanted a 600 Ninja like yours, but being a honda man, id probably go for a CBR.

Cool smile

Hope you get your full license mate.

Its well expensive with these new tests heading out to Chester.

£52 for using the bike for 2 hours, plus £20 to Chester, plus £20 if its an early test (i.e. 8:20am which are usually the only ones lft available) plus test fee, which is £10 for mod 1 and £70 for mod 2

If you get the choice, bike 1 IMO is better than the other ones, it's the one I passed on
