I don't know if it's my computer or the thread has been locked but I cant post in the original one I made. Basically I just wanted to say again, thank you all so much for all the help and for showing me that those from BCF don't seem to be quite as cocky when they are up against superior minds like that on MN.

I have just been informed of a cancellation at the CBT center so I'll be doing my training tomorrow and if all goes well I'll be picking up my new bike ( Honda CBF ) on Saturday. I'll let you all know how I get on Thanks

Good luck, enjoy the riding, wrap up warm as it pretty chilly out. My hands are still numb from the ride in this morning.

Muffs!!

I took mine off last week but put them on again sharpish!

Add some heated grips & Winter becomes a lot more bearable....

Good luck wizzadora!

Haha sorry to bring BCF up again but they seem to be scared of you telling the Daily Mail on them Grin When you girls go to work you really do it properly.

And thank you for your messages of good luck. I have many layers of clothing prepared for tomorrow although at the moment it's threatening to snow so fingers crossed.

"even the cockiest misogynist rarely lasts more than a day or so on here."

That's because MN bans them all.

Not a chance of failing, I am feeling incredibly confident now thanks to people actually responding with helpful advice and support rather than jibes. I suppose that's the difference between a good forum like this and a bad one like yours.

And trust a man to count it as succeed or fail when a CBT is training and there's no actual fail Wink

Good luck Wizz!

Why is it that on reading gilogowu's posts I am reminded of that line about "looks like a penis, only much smaller"?

Just received this message:-

'Come talk about it on BCF where your lefty lesbian tree hugging friends can't censor our posts. Oh that's right none of you have the balls or the intelligence to have a discussion without the mods stepping in.'

At the risk of sounding childish is anyone up for setting them straight?

They are the ones who want the fight wizzadora. We aren't the ones going over there banging tables and demanding to be heard and to be taken seriously. And as Buffy says they only want an excuse to be nasty. They've shown that when they came over here. Leave them to it I say.

Even gilogowu admits they are misogynists after all Grin.

To give credit to BCF they don't dish out bans or censor posts the way bumsnet mumsnet does.

Good luck tomorrow OP.

Hello? Who's let their toddler near the keyboard again?

Don't you stinky old Bumsnet people scare the poppet - be nice until his grown-up comes along....
