    Aslong as you have L plates and stay off the motorways, but I think your machine has to be over 50cc.

    2 for home, several for work!

    We have had to get Dell to replace parts of both the home ones but they were prompt and efficient about doing it!

    How's it going?

    Plymouth?

    I had a secondhand one

    which was fine. Didn't use it very much though. Went back to the desktop. Surfing the net on the bog may sound great but the novelty wears off.
