Welcome Chris, GLW test oh nice R6 BTW ;)

Cracking sire you have found.

Do yourself a life saving favour and get some after I past me test lessons, makes riding less scary and you will have some real life skills, which to be fair will be needed in Brum, cause lets be fair the loose cloths wearing majority can't fuckin drive ;)

Welcome in Chris, that's a nice looking R6 yiu have there. Good choice and sensible decision to start with the six rather than jumping on a litre bike :clap:

Good luck with your test and keep us posted as to how your training progresses.
