Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Hi everyone. I'm Paul and ride a R125. Only did my CBT last year at the age of 38. Looking at doing DAS this year or early next year. My bikes pretty stock apart from tail Tidy, rim tape, tank protector and pillion pegs removed.

Re: Good afternoon
Welcome in Paul
you'll learn some good road craft on the R125 , cracking bike & glad you've decided to go for the R6 before the R1 , you will get a Hell of a shock going from the R125 to the R6 never mind the R1

Re: Good afternoon
Welcome in Paul and hats off to you for going down the correct route R125, R6 then R1, that will enable you to really learn your riding skills. As yiu are hopefully guessing, the guys on here are great, knowledgeable and helpful, any questions just ask, someone will have been there and done that at some point and probably have the t shirt to boot.
So welcome
Cilla.

Re: Good afternoon
Hi Paul and welcome to the forum mate, nice pics you've posted, impressive with the 14 of you guys getting together for a ride

SEND ME A PM TO BE ADDED TO THE FORUM MEMBERS MAP
Re: Good afternoon
Do you do any ride outs on this forum? To be honest tho that was my first ride out and the guys said that was the most that ever turned up. I suppose the timing was right for everyone that day. Great guys tho.
Re: Good afternoon
A lot of them did there DAS and have now moved onto bigger bikes. I was out riding with a member yesterday he has a CBR 600RR now. It's a nice bike but shame it's not a Yama [emoji6]


Re: Good afternoon
I'd like to get an exhaust for it but can't justify payin over the odds for 1 when that will go half way to my DAS. Any1 no of any second hand ones
