You claim you're only just 17, but your YouTube profile says 20...

What's the truth? Also, are you going to insure the new car correctly? Does your mum handle your bike insurance?

I havn't yet bought one, waiting for my zx6r to sell, getting 318i or the 320 convertibles, the 325's are nice but he insurence is 4x the price of a 2L, just that extra 500cc costs 3 grand more.

MY04 Blobeye WRX: 60 miles per day (circa 40 on motorway at 75-80), sensible driving I was getting 27-28 MPG which is about 330 a tank average. On a single journey up to Manchester (200 miles) at 70mph I managed to break 30 MPG. Not been using it for work recently so journeys are shorter and I put my foot down sometimes so will be lucky if I see 250 from this tank which I've just worked out is barely over 20 MPG

u have to be 21 years old to ride a motorcycle with above 33bhp.

u can ride any size machine under 21 as long as its restricted.

he is right on one thing NO ONE ever restricts them.

i might put this on the biker forum. I think this lad needs a dressing down from some bikers.

Dude a message for you although i only owned my subaru for 6 months the people on this forum were nothing but helpfull and friendly throught, u posted a genuine question and they gave a genuine answer, if u dont like it tough. At the end of the day i call bull **** on alot of ur facks the bike on in particular. no one at the age of 17 owns a hayabusa, when i first passed my test 2 years ago i was quoted over 2k on a GSXR 600, so i find the fact u say uv had one a first bike highley unlikely. not impossible, but unlikley.

your a very rude young man. sending people messages about people growing up just demenstrates how mentally old you are (about 12 as a guess) even if u are however old you say you are.

tbh i think u shud just leave the forum some people on here have gone out there way to give u a polite post only for you to turn nasty and throw it in there face. the likes of you give subaru, BMW and Motorcyclist a bad name tbh i dont think either club would want you.

this is why i get so ****ing pissed off.

right i have owned a hayabusa, it was the first bike i bought after passing my test, then swapped it for a zx6r.

Your wrong, you can have any amount of power you want in a bike as long as you have had your a2 license for 2 years, which means you can be 19, not 21 so your wrong ha. I just lied cus 33bhp is nothing and was on bikes with more than that power (ktm 450) when i was 14.

My youtube page is,

owens10101 there is vids on there of me riding all the bikes i have owned nearly.

My facebook page is

perfect.perfect3@ntlworld.com

If you add me you will see pics of all the bikes i own with me on them and vids with me out with mates on them.

I can't get any more information and proof of the vehicles i own or have owned, if you think im still bull****ting then thats fine. Im 17 year old therefor it doesn't automaticly mean im bull****ting like alot of 17 year olds do. theres for proof now make up your own mind.

I apologise I did forget about the 2 year probation rule.

I have said in a previous post on this thread i think, I just buy bikes cheep from ebay and sell them to local garages or a private sale for more and its getting more money than a 5day job, means i can afford a 4,500 pound hayabusa, 3+grand zx6r and a bmw convertible... not bad for a 17 year old who completly failed in school with no gcse's.

Not bad at all man.

Question if everything is true above and I'm not saying it isn't why are you so desperate for everyone to belive you? If its true only u know the truth so hold up head and keep asking personally if u can handle a bike u can handle a scoob do what u want

I should imagine you're certainly paying tax and NI on those earnings...?

Why would i have to pay tax on private buying and selling? and yes i have no choise but to pay NI, its not classed as a buisness/job as all vehicles are taxed and insured in my name and drove/rode on the road there for its classed as a hobby. otherwise about 3/4 grand i have made would have been given away to the tax man and i wouldn't be getting a bmw or a oldish mx5 for my mums 50th.

Because it's your main source of income? Also, if you've made enough to owe the tax man 4K, you're certainly making enough money out of it to be classed as more than a hobby.

Might want to check that out, if the tax man catches up with you they'll want the money there and then, and that hurts if you don't have it

you pay tax and NI on any other income you have. if you reckon 3 - 4 K is owing to the tax man its not a hobby.

To be honest i do believe the kid. I personally know of you lads who have had bikes....albeit not a busa but gsxrs at 17, 18. If it was me i would personally get a small engined car thats nippy. Something like a starlet turbo. If your anything like i was at 17, you will rag the hell out of everything you drive, which at that age with hardly any road experience is bad. Drive something slower till your insurance isnt ridiculous and you have more experience. Some of the things i used to do, make me cringe when i think about what could have happened.

You haven't even passed your driving test yet?! Might be worth doing that, then looking at something a bit more sensible...

Oh, and seriously, why bother even taking out insurance if you're going to lie to them about everything. Pretending to still be driving on a provisional license even though you've passed (when / if you do of course), to save money - no point. Just roll without any insurance, it's the same crime, so why spend the money?

If you think its a load of then i don't really care, the only way i can proove owning these is if you come round and see for yourself, pm me and you will get my address as i love making people look like TW*TS, yes the diffrence between 35mpg and 25mpg is a couple of quid in the 1st couple of tanks, over a year it could mean 700-1000pounds more, my adverage mile per year is 1200 a month, so you work it out.
