    Hi. Just thought i'd say hello. Just purchased a 675. I'm in the process of starting to do my test. Sounds a bit mad I know. Bike before test. I just thought if I have the bike it will give me more of an incentive to pass rather than just stare at the bike...lol
    I've been riding a 125 for 3 years now, so I think i'll be okay with the test. (fingers crossed).
    Until then i'll just find out a bit more about the bike and where to take it. Bike meets etc.
     
  2. Welcome, where in the world are you?

    I've got some pics of the bike before a few mods were fitted. Shall I post them or wait until I have taken some new ones?

    I'm just brushing up on my Theory first. I brought a DVD rom. Going through the Hazard Perception vids at the moment. Everything looks like a hazard to me!...lol If its metal and has 4 wheels, it's a hazard! (an ugly one at that!...lol)
    Pic on their way :)

    Without coming across as a complete plank, how do I put a pic on here?
    I clicked on 'Image Uploader', then chose pic...Then I was given two choices.
    Thumbnail and show directly this image. Nothing to click on though...lol

    Hi and welcome Sniper! :675cc: Bike looks sweet!

    I wouldn't worry too much about getting a "proper" bike before you get through the test, both my best mate and my oldest son did exactly that! They both also had a crafty "Ride round the block" on their new bikes before completing the little legal matter of passing the test. I might add I couldn't under any circumstances condone such behavior, but fwiw, my mate who was having problems with his U turn on a 500, after practicing on some private ground on his newly acquired CBR600 found it was a doddle on the training bike!

    Good Luck with the test btw, you'll be on the 675 before you know it! :cool:
