Hey from a London-based Noob - breadlord - 25-04-12
So, I'm Brad and a fortnight ago I passed my mod two.
Saturday gone I traded in my YZF R125 for an '06 FZ6, which some nice person had kindly put a pair of Scorpion cans on for me.
I am suitably impressed
Are any of you lot around the London area and feel like showing a newbie the ropes?

Hi Brad, congratulations on passing your test. Nice choice of buje :thumbup Where in London are you?
Re: Hey from a London-based Noob - breadlord - 27-04-12
I'm living in Brixton, but it's halfway up the hill to Streatham.
That said, I lived in Leeds for five years and Manchester for three, so I'm a northerner at heart. Many fond memories of bombing down snake pass in a Ford Capri.

Ta! I work in the city so I get to ride around elephant and castle and its heaving masses of suicidal cyclists every morning. Where are the good A-roads in and around London. Meant to get out on my 125, but only had it for three months.
How do you find the Superduke? I was looking at the Adventure (Planning on disappearing for a year at some point), but the insurance was insane.
Re: Hey from a London-based Noob - steeeve66 - 28-04-12
The SD is the best bike ever, the Adventure is pretty awesome as well - but, like you say, both are a bit pricey...
Re: Hey from a London-based Noob - breadlord - 29-04-12
Well, if I'm brutally honest I was on the verge of buying a Tiger 800 XC, when I decided on getting something a little cheaper for my first big bike, but I decided I didn't want to whack nine grand on something right off the bat. Defo not disappointed. Love the FZ6, but the gearbox is like kicking a bag of spanners
