Literally my new ride...
Got bored of deciding what car to get so got a mk3 Honda CRM 250 instead..
Was looking at Subaru's but after insurance running costs etc it just didnt seem the right decision, especially since i'm still about 5k off a flat deposit 
Its just as fast as a subaru around town anyway

Got my theory and hazards awareness done as well as cbt and had a few lessons however I'm not taking my test until after i'm 21 (March 11th) as if i take it before i'll be restricted for two years apparently 
My car insurance doesnt run out until the start of may either and i want the years no claims, just guna rag it around the fields for now..

Yes enduro's are a must

Yes this my main plan, set of super moto wheels for normal use, then put those wheels on for off road fun 
Super moto wheels look quite expensive, and they sell a different brake kit for the super moto use on the front wheel, which i think is just basically a bigger disc and a longer caliper bracket

I didnt say i was going to ride it yet tho?
I said i was guna rag it off road for now...
Not insuring it until my car insurance runs out in a month and a half yet which should be enough time for me to pass my test once I've turned 21..
