hows it going everyone? biggrin you all alrite?

well, based on london, passed my das in september and have been looking for bike ever since! The das was the 1st time i had been on a bike so i dont have much experince, which is why i think the zxr400 is the perfect bike for me. Something that still gives the the sports bike experience, but will allow me to make a couple of mistakes without biting me back (too hard anyways) also trying to learn about bike maintainence, and spraying techniques...so i apologise in advance for my very vauge and jibberish filled post!

hope to chat to you all soon biggrin :smt003

Xan biggrin biggrin

Well Xan there are some lovely roads down here however dont go too far off the beaten track which i'm sure is not what Carney meant otherwise you'll end up in a tractor. Anyway, repairing my brothers zxr this winter and i'll be getting another so come spring you should ride down and join us. Will try to organise a south east meet of some kind, we may invite Rob but it depends when he deserts our lovely county.

Sounds good, where you moving to? You know i said i needed a life plan and job etc? Well i have decided although ive always known this is what im going to do..
Started looking into motorcycle apprenticeships a while ago and have applied to Suzuki and Honda because they have a country linked network of apprenticeships. However i had a great interview with my local yamaha bike shop and am currently rewriting my cv and a covering letter for them. Fingers crossed i should get start a career begining of the new year.

Looking to move to ipswich, wednesday im going to look at some rooms to rent, and also got a job interview too. Been considering those sort of apprenticeships, but spending 10 year studying electronics i gotta get out there and see how i find it before i change my mind, something to consider in the future tho!
