Mark90 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Knowing you Mark, I have no doubt you will pass, good luck. I'm now licensed to be a menace on two wheels as well as four Couldn't quite manage a clear round but only notched up a score of 3. Now I just need to get the new set of wheels muddy... Right I'm off to the trail bike forums now (There's no need to cheer Les ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nice one Mark. I am still on the starting blocks as I cannot find anyone with the enthusiasm to take the money from my outstretched hand. Chris there's a bike training place on the A361 going out of Devizes at the bottom of the hill just after the roundabout for Bishop Cannings, might be worth a try, don't know the phone number or name. & well done Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Couldn't quite manage a clear round but only notched up a score of 3. was this the advanced "trials bike" test by any chance? did you put your foot down anywhere? did you clear all the obstacles?

white90 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Gave up biking and purchased my first L/R meant to save a few ££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yup, I have a licence, I know the bike I want, I just cannot get astride a demonstrator. According to Yamaha UK there are two demos in Yorkshire and one in Bristol - but the dealer in Bristol cannot seem to be bothered to actually put the demo on the road.

western Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 & cos he's not getting the demo bike out in use, the dealer is loosing sales for himself & Yamaha, not much use then as a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 & cos he's not getting the demo bike out in use, the dealer is loosing sales for himself & Yamaha, not much use then as a dealer. Speaking to YamahaUK, the dealer gets a discount on demo bikes and has to keep them for a period of three months. I imagine that after three months he simply sells the bike as new (as it is!) and pockets the difference. Bikes are apparently selling very well this year. I have to say, if this is how good they are at selling bikes I am not sure I want anything to do with their after sales care. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks chaps Mid-life crisis? Hmm maybe. I just fancied a 'toy' after getting rid of the LR's. Manged to convince the missus this would be cheaper, well I should get more than 6mpg from the bike Probably end up back in a 4x4 when I realise I'm too old/unfit for a bike, that'll be next week then! Come on Chris get yer finger/money out. I want someone to show me round the plain Does no where have a pre-reg or 2nd hand bike you could take out for a test ride before buying new? Or is it a new new model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If we are talking about a the dealership nicknamed in the trade as "fowlups" I would steer well clear! Their parts department used to something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
