Hi all,just thought i'd pop in and say hello.

My Names Adam from Manchester.
Not got a cat,in fact i don't even have a licence,but i am doing something about it(CBT in the morning),but i have my heart set on getting one.I love the things and can't wait to get going on one.

Welcome Adam ,

Good luck with the CBT and the continuation training. You'll not go far wrong with a Cat.

Hope you enjoy the forums, and feel you can take part and have fun

Cheers
Tel

How's it going Adam...Your obviously a sensible dude in getting a T-Cat for your first bike...welcome mate and keep us posted on your CBT/test etc..
Good luck for tomorrow!!

Hi Adam and welcome.

Cheers
Billy

Cheers for the warm welcome fella's,do you have a buyers guide on here for the Cat's?

Errm . . No , sorry . . . But many have asked for hints and tips before you.
I hate the standard answer of " use search " . . . but the info is all in here for you to see.
Mostly in the Workshop, but also in the lounge.

Most of the stuff to watch for is pretty standard what you'd look for in any used bike
The bigest (urban myth) is second gear on the cat. Search that in here using the search button and you'll get the full SP.

i got one with close to 100K miles and 2nd gear is perfect!!!
and so are all the other gears..

Tiz why I said the 2nd gear thingy is an urban myth . . . like the electrics always fail on Ducati's in the wet

Hi and welcome Adam.

Good luck on the CBT.

The best first bike there is, good luck with the CBT, I'd never been on a bike in my life till I did my CBT and now I enjoy a pootle on two wheels very muchly!

hi and welcome matey my red cat might Might be for sale in a month or so getting itchy feet again maybe dont know

Hi Adam and welcome, where you doing you're CBT, I'm from Manchester and did mine with Moto Technique, very knowledgeable and patient.

Echo others comments, tcat is a great first bike, I passed in November having already bought one and couldn't be happier. Other rider friends said I'd probably keep it 6 months tops but not a chance, just building a garage extension for it to live in (possibly with a friend in time )
