    New!

    Hi I am new to riding in canada (10 mins on an R6 only), my machine is a Honda CBR954RR (black/titanium metalic).

    My last bike in the UK was an 01 ZX6R (metallic blue) until I moved to canada ..... its been a dry 2.5 years of work and no play .

    Looking forward to the spring once I get my M2 in march (held a full uk for 14 years, not transferable )!

    Yes I got the bike before the license ... incentive to get it done and a crazy sweet deal.

    Any recomendations on tires, looking at the BT014/021 or the Corsa III. Need a set for the saftey.

    Was living in Wiltshire, near Bath. You know England at all?

    I don't know England to well. I do know where Bath is. As I have been there a few times. I have family that live near Bristol. As you know just a hop skip and a jump to Bath.

    Cheers!

    Welcome, I lived in Croydon(London) for 10 years...driving here is much different than England, way harder to get your licence in England (they actually care that you know how to drive before they pass you).

    Great roads around the avon and wiltshire area, did a commute from the ex girlfriends house in bristol to trowbridge via bath (North bristol so M4, A46 and A363) what a great ride!

    Yep broken man starting to use american spelling

    Yeah the bike license in the UK was hard, the M2 sounds like a CBT

    Bit like riding on mainland europe, got to remember to stay on the right!

    Salisbury! love those "tank crossing" signs, should say mud bog ahead! Nice fast roads. Did you do the Poole ride on tuesdays in summer?

    The tank crossing signs were a real eye opener to tourists lol If you looked closely enough you would see squaddies hiding in the bushes at the side of the roads.

    American spelling? Does that mean you don't know where the U key is on the keyboard?

    M2 is NOT CBT, it's all practical.

    Total BS they wouldn't let you transfer that, especially when it clearly states that you can in the MTO published Motorcycle handbook...

    I'm going to have to vote Corsa III, I just put a set of those on my beast.

    Hey, do you still want me to trailer your bike for the cert? Let me know.
