Bike Test Passed
Passed my bike test today, woo hoo!!!
Got a test at short notice, luckily it was a bright sunny day so no probs. Apart from the w***er in an oncoming van doing a suicidal overtake into my path it went ok. Need to get a proper bike now. Iain. NS125F (soon for sale!) -- Certified Virus Free by Norton Anti-Virus |

Ackshirly, I've got to admit the Rally star Gore-Tex boots I bought have been second to none and the last time I was in HG Harrow I was very tempted by a £300 jacket. I forget the name of it but it was against that wall where the front wheel of that bike was pointed on the lower rung on the right hand side. My missus is very pleased with her kit still and even wears it out when we're not "biking" -- Smile...tomorrow will be worse CBR1000FL |

I forget the name of it Master 4. I think it's a bit pricey and I didn't like the shortness of the quilted liner, that's why I went for the Voyager. The Master 4 gloves are the dogs bollocks though, highly recommended. They have a small neoprene inner wrist sleeve that will easily fit inside any jacket cuff, this is covered by an easily used velcrod and zipped outer sleeve that goes over the jacket cuff. This means that water can't drip down inside the glove, plus wind and rain can't work it's way up the sleeve. -- Lozzo : The anti-Timo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3 BOTAFOT#57/70a, BOTAFOF#57, two#49(suspended), MIB#22, TCP#7, ANORAK#9, DIAABTCOD#14, UKRMT5BB, IBW#013, MIRTTH#15a/16, BotToS#8, GP#2, SBS#10, SH#3, DFV#14, BONY#9.
