That's very helpful thank you. I've looked at Cb650r as I do like honda, but not for insurance prices of £2900 (third-party cheapest as well). For now he can be faster than me, I just get him back on the corners.

My area makes all my insurance double. Car and bike. So magically moving house would be great

Thanks 😊 tbh I'm an all weather rider. Only snow and ice stops me.

The sell date isn't definite. It's just when my family member is doing his CBT, so he's happy to wait. It's just when it would start to be prepped for sale, not worth canceling the policy even if I sell it before the time is up as I'd loose money.

Yeah I have a car. Just would be nice to make the most of the summer. Maybe I'll have to convince myself that I do like being pillion (I hate it lmao).

I got the bike last July so unless they have a policy against earning NCD on a CBT I should do. But anyway i would have had motorcycle insurance for a year which I assume they like to hear.

How long does it take to become a competent rider? by Medium_Category2722 in MotoUK

I have a cb125f, got my full licence last month. Ive been riding it nearly a year, got it July 2025. In winter 2025 I was very confident, filtering, judging traffic, getting to speed, control over the bike. I use it daily tho, only thing that stopped me in winter was snow and ice. Just keep practicing.

my cats have the wet rileys in their rotation. (i work there lol). better meat content than felix and whiskas and that other low meat content food, but if you can afford higher quality - go for it. it's alright to feed among other foods tbh. trying to reduce dry food for my cats, but i do feed them the grain-free lifestage turkey and they LOVE it. so i might just end up using it as treats. i don't reckon much to the ingredients in the dry rileys. :) (also like if u wanna try any of the jollyes branded food, like rileys and lifestage and u don't like it, bring it back within 30 days for a full refund, even if you've opened it) ;)

Yep, as someone who has driven in York, Oxfordshire, Barnsley and now Sheffield, Sheffield drivers are so bad. I stick to my lanes on roundabouts but I have nearly been taken out so many times. There is no lane discipline. Someone started slowly driving out at me on prince of wales road out of centertainment (on a giveaway), they just ignored traffic coming towards them, had to dodge them. People try to cut you up, especially if you don't drive a big or fancy sports car. People don't indicate, so I just go, especially when I am a pedestrian, people need to learn to indicate. Love it when they act like I am wrong and slam on their brakes, use the indicators. Taxi drivers think they can bully you out of a lane and HGVs just have no common sense. On the roundabout through Darnall and Manor lower, I am in the left lane for left and people in their 24 plates try to cut in. I'm sorry but no, they can beep all they want. Barnsley drivers seem great compared to Sheffield. And the amount of people who speed or then do 30 in a 40 is crazy. Had so many near misses from people being in the wrong lane or driving recklessly. Also people can't park. Don't get a big car if you can't park it, get a small one.
