    Of those two - MT07.

    How old are you?


    Oh and my update - I got the Triumph MOT'd over the weekend. Not sure if shoulder will hold up to any long rides though

    Just wondered whether you'd fall foul of the restricted (under 24 years old) licence debacle

    Ah yes I understand. I wanted to do my licence ages ago but I do feel more comfortable with road knowledge gained from driving.

    Just ride like everyone is out to kill you and you'll stand the best chance of surviving. Complacency is our biggest enemy.
    However, vigilance is a small price to pay for such a monumental experience
    BTW, did anyone see motogp at le mans ?! Iannone vs Marquez ! Epic

    IT WORKS!!!! Started after I changed the starter relay. Ran terrible for a bit but after a while purring like a kitten. Its going to be different to ride after learning on a ER6N

    Im itching to take them, issue is I work at a school so can only do my tests in the holidays and weekends. They are all booked up so my CBT is the 5th July and my MOD1 and MOD2 are beginning of August. Im watching videos on youtube of riders who wear helmet cams on their tests.

    All they really care about is that you are safe, you'll be shit and they expect it.

    So I got out today - first proper ride since October 7th 2014 short of taking it up the A13 to the MOT station last week. That's a long time to be off a bike

    That makes two of us that had not been properly out since October. ... With the arrival of my baby girl it's been difficult find the time...

    Anyway battery had completely died, charged all day and still wouldn't turn over so off to halfords - trade card in hand... battery was £100 on the shelf, £80 at trade!!!! Jebus!

    Anyhow certainly didn't buy it at that price, spin down the road to dk motorcycles and bang - 35 quid full price.

    Fitted, quick top up charge and I have just had the most enjoyable 126 miles of 2015 so far it's a absolute animal again now, must have had battery issues sucking some of the giggles out for a while, it's so much smoother and more responsive, it's like the first rides after upgrading from the monster years ago

    Yep.... been toying with the idea of chopping it in for a tiger 800 xc, but then I go for a ride and change my mind,

    My knee and wrists don't agree with my brain though (and the mrs probably isn't the comfyest when she's on the back)

    ...and my lucky heather and 4 leaf clover.

    Smashing stroll into work this morning. A surprisingly small wheelie at the start of the A130 that I managed to get back on the ground as I hooked third with three lights flashing. I know its childish but...tee-hee all the same.
