Test ride

What makes you think it isn't now? You know the old saying.

Yes acceleration, meaning it has some. It does pull all the way in top.

Because you're posting to UKRM, not sucking yourself into a frenzy.

Old dogs, new tricks?

 

I was going to mention a "fence-post" error, now you mention it.
Probably given the game away now, though.

105? In top?

Dear oh dear. He should have got one with the correct sized engine,
shouldn't he?

 

Ho yuss. Although, as recounted elsewhen, I may be misremembering.

Rest assured mate, the thought had occurred to me but then at least one
starts and runs so I will stick with it for a bit.

 

I would expect a pat on the back for that last one, not points.

 

Just an SP30 here. My 2nd one. I got it just 2 months after the first
one expired. So that's Bike 3, Car 3 at the moment.

It seems I've been a jammy bastard recently, though, as I went past a
camera van at well over 70mph in a 50mph limit 2 1/2 weeks back and
haven't had the NIP yet. I suspect it was focussing on people coming the
other way in the 'suicide' lane I was using at the time.

 

Oh, I wasn't being critical, it just struck me as the best way to
travel through Leeds and, thus, praise was due.

I had one of them once...

 

AOL.

I don't know how but it is.

 

9 points (3x SP30). All about 2 years ago, about the time I got my
bike licence. I have a ZX-6R now, test ride would be on a used
Hornet.

 

What do you think? Is there any point in me asking another dealer for
a test ride? I would be serious about buying the bike but I guess
there's no way for them to know that other than on trust, and I can
see why that might not be a given. The last dealer told me the
problem was that his insurance wouldn't cover me, so if that really is
the case generally then whether he trusts me/my riding ability doesn't
really come into it. It's all a bit frustrating, I just want to spend
some money!
Thanks
