Biker newbie...
Discussion
Hello all!
Just thought I'd introduce myself round these parts...
As I'm working back in Blighty, I have loads of free time on my hands so I've decided to do my Direct Access.
Unbeknownst to me, the test is changing on 1st October so I've been told by the bike place to get my skates on as it were. So, next week I'm doing my CBT and the following Monday I'm doing my theory test and then onto my DAS.
I actually learnt to ride a Yamaha PW50 when I was about three, my old man used to race and was pretty gutted when I ended up getting into cars... I haven't ridden in a good fifteen years and I'm really looking forward to getting back into it!
I've been down the local bike dealership and had a wee look, I fancy something a little sensible that won't mind being dropped a couple of times, so I have been looking at either a 600 Fazer or 650 Bandit, from what I've been told, they are good all round bikes and good for a newbie, plus they aren't too big and will fit nicely in my living room (the garage leaks and there is no way I'm leaving a bike outside...)
I've taken a look at the stickies for newbie bikers, there seems to be loads of good information in there, any other advice will be most welcomed!
I'll keep you all informed as to how things progress over the next few weeks...
