Its a bit late Tizor mate, the bike is mine and that was taken on my drive.

Do you still have a bike at all mate? Fancy a ride anytime?

Justin Tivey doesnt ring a bell but I know and Ben and David Tivey who are 17/18, are they any relation to justin?

OcUK Bikers meet 06 should be happening in May time

That is if we get enough interest in it.

I do mate yes. I am just off the island at Tesco Express, coming from winshill its the exit to the right.

It comes in very handy for cleaning the bike though, and at this time of year it needs cleaning weekly so I am going to keep it on until the weather picks up and it doesnt need as much cleaning

Cheers for all the comments, I am very happy with it so far

Get a chain oiler for the cbr luke, saves a lot of time and hassle and money.

It came with one mate, it works a treat too

Congratulations on the new bike. Out of interest what was the old HONDA CBR 125 like to ride? What kind of 0-60 mph would it do? What was the top speed? Could it hold NSL? Thanks.

0-60, well, i'd guess about 11 secs but I never timed myself, to ride it was very nice, the only let down was the thin tyres so it was quite limiting to how far you could push it. Top speed, well mine touched 87....once, never again, god know what stresses that engine was under at 11,000 rpm. It will hold NSL no worrys mate

Right then, time for an update on the new bike, so far I LOVE it

I have managed to scrub off the chicken strips you will be pleased to know L Plate

It has so far handled every corner I have taken no problems, its not the time of year to really push it, I am still the envy of my mates and get lots of looks at work, quite satisfying

I have been looking at these ABBA stands, a mate of mine with an RVF has to use one obviously as its a single swinger. I do have a paddock stand but it was a bit scary to leave the 125 on there so no way will i trust it with this bulky bugger which is double the weight of the 125.
