... of mine has taken delivery of the new CBR500 ... doesnt sound exciting but he's just part exchanged his 125 and the 500 is more than enough for him ... just another option for you :D http://powersports.honda.com/2013/cbr500r.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

... to go from a 250...pretty sure it would be less power than what we have over here in any case and he wants to go onto a 600...your 600...tell him to piss off if he keeps coming up. It's the only way some people learn. I'd be pissed off after a couple of Times being pestered, tell him straight ...

Not in a million years. Even experienced riders struggle riding at low speeds in a confined space. Show him the clip from The Inbetweeners where Jay picks up a motorbike and crashes it. Tell him that's what you're worried about. Irony of irony, the dealership where that happened ...

... bike in cash in my hand and if you crash it you've bought it :) I find it a bit odd that he keeps pestering you when you have already said no. Buy him a CBT I;m sure ut would be cheaper than trashing yours !!

... only let a biker that I knew really well, and had ridden with, ride my bike. I doubt you have an "all rider" policy so if you did let him ride the bike he would be doing so uninsured. You can only foresee that ending in a very expensive and ugly mess.

... that he hasn't got a valid uk licence for bikes on top of not being insured then im pretty sure I can make a case that HR would kill me if I let him out on it. If he has the licence though then a dealer test will be a far more fullfilling ride anyway.

Fwiw I think we all know it will probably end in tears mate.

You will end up with a damaged bike, an injured colleague, probably someone's damaged car & undoutably the blame for all of it.

How to tell him no, so that he "gets it" is going to be a challenge though IMHO.

There is a new lad on my team at work, he says he used to ride a 250 back in India but that was 6 years ago. He keeps bugging me to let him take the CBR600rr round the car park. I've said no as he isn't insured (although in a private car park you technically don't need to be do you?) and it's ...

I'll have to look him up?! Though I don't think I'd be in a grey to test it out lol

It was a handshake deal.

He would have got away with it but somebody pointed the finger at him.

I did it for a friend once on his mountain bike. It pushed somebody else's maximum bid up.
Then he asked me to do it again (getting greedy).

I won it.

Next day he told me I had to pay him. I gave him a dead leg and we called it quits!

Mate of mine has been putting together a load of videos of him bimbling around on his fazer, talking rubbish and commenting on day to day nonsense :) https://www.youtube.com/user/AnyManCam" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Quite ...

You've got to hand it to him.
