you can do that do bikes?...restrict the speed?ok IM CONFUSED how the hell do i go about fitting one of those things?...i barely touch my car engine!I want to know..I just dont.

 Is a 33bhp resitrctor kit easy to install for the beginning mechanic?

[GRNINJA]

you wouldn't do it, You would get a shop to, as you need them to stamp it for insurance perposes. shouldn't be too exspensive... but it is a common approach for the under 21's that want bigger bikes

[ZX_Girl]

oh i see.and how long does the restrictor need to be on before u get to ride the bike in all its glory?a year?2?

[GRNINJA]

2 years I thinks but if you reach 21 before the 2 years you can just take the direct big bike test and if you pass you can ride big bikes..... though 1 test was enough for me they don't make it easy anymore

[GRNINJA]

ps I have only been riding 3 years... I passed my first car test 10 years ago and lost my license then after leaving the army I done both my car and bike test in the space of a month apart and passed both.... crapping my pant think I was gonna fail but apparently I aint bad at driving/riding

awww lol well congrats for being so amazing  i hope it doesnt take me too many goes to pass my bike test...I get nervous when old men are watching me with a clipboard in their hands. I will turn 21 in the 2 years so I guess I'll go for the biggy as soon as I can.

  wan't nothing really.... just need to be confident thats all.... you'll do fine... just make sure you do the course with a good school

[ZX_Girl]

well i think the local one is an alright school from what ive heard but none of this is cheap so I'd better get saving and I just realised today I can't sell my car...I need it for the volunteer work I do DOH! 

[GRNINJA]

I couldn't sell my car I love it too much.... I am as much a car person as I am a bike person.... my bike is my weekend warrior machine my car is my work horse...

my first bike was an 1150 GSE...but i wouldn't recommend trying it...you can restrict your bikes there...that's awesome..and too bad about the little 250's...they are a fun bike to run around town with

Hi ZXgirl,
hope you enjoy the site.  You've managed to pick the best place in the world to live, the SW is sweet when it comes to biking roads.  I live in Honiton, but travel quite often to see friends and stuff in Taunton.  Whatever you decide with the test and bike front, just do it safely!!
