Got my new ZX6R '05

Jase, who do you use now? I suppose its Boltons or bust. Its just such a pain to get there from Hope Valley.

Yep, that's where I go.... Only ever Boltons these days, and at least they look after me.

If you need a service, parts etc go in and tell them that Jason the copper sent you. They'll look after you.

Cheers M8

my very 1st bike (NEVER knew what a clutch lever or brake pedal was) was a honda cbr600 (we don't have 250 restiricted BS licenses in the states)...... granted it was a honda (no where near comparo to the 636!), but like really, how hard is it?

Plenty hard, going by the number of pretzled big bikes whose owners were too cool to either get bike licenses or wait till they've put in a few months on a 250 I've had to help shovel into the backs of utes and vans.

There's also the often-observed sorry spectacle of a brand new litre-bike going around a corner leaning 5 degrees from vertical with the brakelight flickering on and off sporadically.

Even racers start on 250 proddies and/or 400s before moving up to 600s and superbikes.
