Newbie, Soon To Purchase '99 DT125R

@Burridge That's crazy maybe they've added a few extra things in from when I done it back in the day but I think it lasted longer the first time I ever done the CBT training as a guy in the group couldnt get to grips with the gears on the bike and kept stalling and it held us all back for a good hour then he got told to go home and come back the next day! I don't know but 7 years ago one of the places round here more or less let just let my brother drive round the block a few times and followed him and gave him the CBT certificate and that was it guess it depends on the place you go to.

There is a place in london (Fusion motorcycles) that lets you do a CBT renewal. It's cheaper than usual at £60 and you go straight onto the road, ride around a few roundabouts, do an emergency brake, a U turn thing, back to the centre and get your certificate.
We did the whole thing in an hour. Not sure how legit the center is, but the issued certificate is 100%.
Saves some time and money if you're near london next time around.

Finally got it taxed and went out on it today, lots of smiles all round, handles great even on those knoblies and pretty damn quick, got 75 out of it down a straight riding against the wind, but it's the getting there that's the most fun bit, can't wait to get a decent pipe on it!! :DD
-
@Calum one of Romeu's stainless pipes hopefully, and I've got a dep off eBay for £40 just waiting for it to arrive, it's been welded at the flange and generally looks abit shagged but I bought it for the end can which I'll polish up and put on my new pipe when I get one.
If it's structurally sound then I'll put it on for abit though! Otherwise just the can on standard pipe until the time comes -
The eBay Dep came today, the pipe itself is quite sorry for itself, got a gaping hole in it which I'll attempt to weld up as I've got a little mig welder but I don't have much hope for it seeing as the Coke can sheet metal that it's made of is so thin and rusted;
