Title: w00t, passed my A2 test :)
Post by: Mardoni on December 11, 2007, 17:23:00 PM
I know its the restricted test but Im still pleased as punch :p

Going to be getting shot of my little 125 and either using my dads CBF500 or getting my own (restricted of course) :)

...although I might wait until it gets a little warmer as I thought I was going to lose my feet to frostbite this morning. Thats the last time I accept a 9am test time (w/ an hours ride to the test centre)...brrrrrrr

Ah! the seasonal joys of camping... :)

Not for me any more! :lol:


Nimrod, get some warm clothes, put three pairs of socks on, some fur lined rigger boots and a sheepskin jacket. You will be fine ;)

Ive got proper thermal lined textiles and a pair of Sidi winter boots, I think I just need to put thicker socks on :)

The real problem is that my cars heater gets up to temp very very quickly :)

Dont use thicker socks, use more of them, it works better. Two thin pairs are better than one thick.

Heavens above will you never learn? You are far too clumsy to own a motorbike. Write it off as a fad and be grateful you didnt die!!!  :D

Not a chance, every time I get in my car I just think I would rather be on a bike - Cars are boring and annoying. I miss my bike.

BMW do some thermal lined boots that are battery powered, my had has some and they are awesome.  They also do heated vests and gloves.
But really, in this weather...Car.  Bike in summer, its really dangerous at this time of year.

I enjoy riding to work in the winter, you get to work so awake and invigerated. You just need to have some decent water proofs and your fine!

Loving those powered boots :D Thats genius :)
Ive just got in from a ride and although it is a little warmer today, the two pairs of socks seems to have sorted it :)

I bought some big thermal socks from M&S and I am using them as as boot liner; seems to do the job :p


Dooms...
Ive got a 12mth old CBR125RR Im looking to shift, should be cheaper than the sorts of things youre looking at ;) :D :)

125 too small mate :(

400 is prob the smallest I would go for but aiming for another 600. Think my main problem is Im not actually sure what I want :P

I really like the Hornet but as I am on a restricted license for 2 years I am going to have to wait. I dont think the Hornet would appreciate being limited to 33bhp :s

My Dads CBF500 is quite nice but its a very traditional style bike.
