    Hey guys, new here, just saying hello.

    Recently just passed my A test from my A2 license and got myself a Speed Triple R.

    What a bike. I often find myself wondering into my garage just to ogle at it.

    This is her on our maden voyage to Whitby.

    Thanks guys.

    A2 is restricted yes, but I have passed my full A license after riding on the A2 on an sv650 for two years.

    Feels great to be finally unrestricted :D

    It was simpler when you just rode around the block, read a number plate and answered a couple of highway code questions.

    They were the good old days Andy!

    It rubs it in that I had to do everything twice because of my age. Well worth it in the end though.

    Thanks guys.

    Aha, once is better than nothing Andy!

    Thanks for the heads up littleade. It'll definitely be protected over the winter with something. Any recommendations on which is better out the two?

    Thanks for the detailed response. Looks like I'll be going with the FS365 if that's the case.

    Can't be doing with my bike looking dirty all winter with ACF50, and I wash it quite often so the FS365 will do fine! :)
