Mechanic in the making from London :)

Post by Karleigh »

Hi guys,

24yr old bloke in a womans body from London. Ride a YBR 125 but recently bought a Gilera DNA as a sort of Winter project. Really enjoying working on it and sourcing all the spares etc. makes for more fun when you keep getting sent wrong parts :shock:

I'll be updating all my progress on my tumblr blog if you want to have a look (please don't scroll through my other posts if you're easily offended)

Pretty new to riding, did my CBT just before Christmas and loving it. Stopped for a bit as I couldn't bare the cold but looking forward to getting back out on the road now the sun is coming out to play!

Already had the piss ripped out of me for getting a scooter.... But I don't care, I love my lil DNA :D

Crikey that's more mods to a vehicle-thing than I've done in my life!
Hope it's locked down well, very nick-worthy those DNAs :?

Well hello there! I have always thought that I could also make it as a mechanic though have not gotten the proper training and things to go with me so I am quite stuck with being an enthusiast to the whole ride idea. It would be great to actually know a lot deeper on your rides so you could presume what goes wrong and change a couple or two about it.
