No piss take unfortunatley Indie! I had just never even touched a motorbike until 2 months ago, let alone know anything about them!

I'm walking before I'm running (ask the cars who are overtaking me while I'm doing 50mph down country lanes because it's rainign and I'm nervous!!) and just taking everything in my stride!

I had such a stupid STUPID moment earlier, I got on the bike after meeting a friend for coffee, trying to look cool and ride off, but it wouldn't start :O must have sat there for 5 - 10 mins, until I realised I had left it in 1st (for good practice) so all I needed to do was pull the cluth in or knock it in neutral :P to say I felt stupid was an understatement! she knew nothing abuot bikes so I told her some crap about the cogs and brakes not meshing together right, and she didn't understand, which was the desired effect :P

Someoen at the petrol station was impressed with my bike and loved the fact that it was a 125 but doesn't look like one, and he asked to sit on it. I let him but didn't feel comfortable doing it (made sure they keys were in my hand) - do any of you usually get this? or was it just a random guy????
