Wearing an Albion away top today + were with another lad? Old man as your instructor?
All this talk of bikes has made me wheel mine out the garage and start it for the first time in months! Its on a SORN but I think I will get it MOT'd next weekend so I can go out for a ride.
It's only an old Yamaha XJ600N (V reg!) but it's fast enough for me.

No, that wasn't me. I got there at 1pm. There was only a female instructor when I got there, and a few people from ART.
A Diversion? Nice bikes, they are on my list of potentials
Yes. Shame you don't live nearer you could have bought mine! Only 17,000 miles on the clock.

i thought you got it out to RIDE! if you sold it what would you get instead?
I did! It's just a waste sitting in my garage most the time. Doubt I will get another bike to be honest, I'm getting too old!

You are never too old, my Dad was motorcycling (a 600 Norton Dominator 99SS) until he died at 67, in fact he was still restoring bikes for customers up to the day he died.

Met the away top learner today. Wearing the away top again but not a sth and "doesn't really go to many games"
Another good day training. Pouring with rain but good old waterproof gear! Filtered through gridlock between hangleton and west hove turn offs.
Much better on my figure of eights.
Instructor said I was getting to stressed and it was making arms go rigid. She then said imagine it's a naked girl and you're following her. That did the trick!
Should be dry tomorrow which will be nicer to ride in

Good stuff. I had the test today and passed, so happy days. I thought you had it today too but guessing it must be tomorrow?

So I've just been offered the chance to have a 'permanent loan' of a Honda NTV650 for no money whatsoever. The owner has a Ducati and the Honda but barely gets time to ride the Ducati let alone the Honda and has asked if I would be interested in taking care of it for him as he knows I'm looking at taking my tests etc and will be looking for a bike of around abouts this size.
Does anyone have any info on this bike?
