's up all?
I've had to delay my bike purchase by a few months due to financial issues, but still need to get my license.
I need a smaller bike, in the range of a 250, with which to do the test with. Onroad of offroad is fine, as long as it has it's indicators, etc. IE: is roadworthy.
A bigger bike is almost impossible to the yard test with.
Can any of you recommend a rental place in Jo'burg? It doesn't actually matter if it's either, or even a scooter place, but it needs to be OVER 125cc.
Thanks, N.

Did my license in the 'yard' at the test station back then with a '81 Honda CB750. Easy as pie!

'81? You old Fart. *duck*
A modern 600 superbike is a bit of a different story when it comes to tight corners and stopping ON lines in a yrd test, I would think.

Re: Motorbike rental?
The bike was a '81 model dumbass
Have you RODE a '81 CB750 yet? They aint easy to ride.... Old technology etc. BTW, can you even ride a push bike? (before you answer so quick.... ARE YOU SURE!?)

Judging by the myriad of trophies, certificates, and medals at Home...yup, I think I can ride a 'push' bike, at least a little.
