Default Newbie Saying Bout'ye

Hi All,

New to this forum, new to biking and awaiting delivery of my slightly scuffed but gorgeous Red, Blue & white '99 CBR600f, After many years of dropping hints to Mrs Soupy she finally gave in to 'letting' me buy a bike, And thanks to the new licencing laws coming out in Jan I talked her into getting my CBT/Test earlier than planned, Haha, although not done my test yet decided to get a bike sorted first, tell me I'm not the only one to get a bike before my test???

I tried to reply to your post but nothing appeared, not sure why, Thanks for the welcome and agree, Mrs Soupy definitely a good woman, after nearly 13 years of marriage she hasn't turned out too bad ;-)

Welcome!
Congrats on the bike and good luck on the test. Thank the Mrs. every time you go riding... Since the laws are changing, has she given any thought to becoming licensed, just in case she wants to ride in the future?

It makes life sooo much easier when your SO is supportive of your hobbies...even moreso when they take part in them w/ you.

Glad you found us & decided to join. Settle in & enjoy.

Default Step 1 complete :-)

Hey CBR'ers

Got my CBT certificate on Tuesday night, Theory test booked yesterday, have to wait until the 5th October, although that should give me plenty of time to practice that horrendous hazard perception test. Can't believe I have to do it even though I've been driving for 22 years.... man, 22 years??? I really am getting old
