Hi and welcome to the forum. Have you got a VTR as yet or just looking around? If you go into your profile you can update your location to give folk an idea where you are should you need a hand.

Lol
(tugs forelock) what's with the "new to all this" then
Jesus, another one I'm gonna have to put in some effort to keep up with....
Still welcome, though....
Still, the new rules are going to make it very difficult for instructors, and I think they just might have killed motorcycling this time. When you can just pass your car test then buy a BMW, why run a 125 , then sell it, buy a restricted bike, then sell it, then get something you wanted after four years, three tests? Not sure I'd have bothered, tbh.
With the no modifications for small bikes rule, I think that's done it.
We're the last of a dying breed, (according to the local Casualty, anyway).
God, that's a horribly depressing post, I'm ashamed of myself, (kicks self up butt, opens a beer)- Sorry 'bout that, of course you're welcome, see you on a run or camping weekend soon, hopefully?

I think you could be right there Tony, sadly. Is there still a DAS option when you hit 25?

Yeah, where are the manufacturers in all this? Why aren't they promoting motorcycling as a green alternative? Get someone hooked on a 100mpg 125 and you cut emissions, road space and create a potential big bike buyer. God, even drug dealers give free dope to kids! It's also safer than a push-bike and teaches roadcraft. A no-brainer, that.
