Coming back to biking...just bought my first bike in 20yrs

[scorcher]

Just sold my TVR Griffith and needed to get some kicks a bit cheaper.I was brought up with bikes and rode them between the ages of about 6 and 19 but discovered that sex was more pleasurable in cars and thus gave bikes up.However ,after 20 years away I have just been and got myself a motorcycle today. its one of these http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Images/buel...
Its a pre reg with zero miles, on an 08 plate and it cost me £4995.I've been looking and sitting on various machines for a few weeks now but seem to be drawn back to the Buell's all the time.I'm guessing its because they are a bit different like TVR's.Got a refresher course booked for next week and need to go and get kitted out tomorrow so I can arrange collection. Looking forward to it.just need some better weather now...

Hope you enjoy your return to bikes Scorcher, refresher is a good idea. Take your time and don't forget you don't tend to bounce so well as when you were in your teens,know from experience Nice choice of bike!!

At £5k that's a bargain - they sound fab as well! I returned recently after a spell away and have done some training to get back in to it - it makes a huge difference to your confidence apart from anything else. Slightly off thread but I noticed that the clothing has improved massively in the last twenty years - comfortable, waterproof, vented, body armoured and that's just Hein Gerricke's cheap and cheerful range.

Enjoy the Buell!

Did the same myself went from TVR,s and Lotus and bought a Fatboy. Great fun and as you say a whole lot cheaper.
You will find the people less stuffy as well.
