Just thought that I'd share this with everyone, as I'm like a dog with two tails, as I have recently passed my bike test via direct access and got myself a decent bike
 .Here she is:  What fun it is to be back on a bike again!  Gaz  |

Nice choice Gaz...couldn't have chose a better bike myself. Luvverly low end grunt. Take it easy, they're a bit pokey for a first bike. I had a GPZ305 first after my test. The 600 Bandit has a nice mix I think, never been tempted to go for a bigger one. It'll do what's necessary to keep up with the bigger bikes on rideouts, but also gives you decent mpg when you're out for a laid back ride. I get abotu 60mpg out of mine when I'm just out for a leisurely ride (still brisk compared to a car though
 ). Here's a pic of mine too....lol  Haven't used mine in the last year, since I got into kiting, so it's been laid up. But my 17yr old son if wanting a 125 so I'm thinking of putting it back on the road so I can go out with him. Just to help him train, and make sure he doesn't come a cropper. Muggins here, also offered to pay his first years insurance too, imagine how much that'll be...lol

Hi HD462,
Well hows about that - except mine is the naked version  , LOL.Actually I think that the Bandit is an 'ideal' first bike (for me anyway!!) - actually I should point out that I have ridden all sorts of bikes off road (some a lot more powerful than my bandit), and I did flit from a 50cc to 125cc for seven years, so I'm not exactly a novice . I just never got round to doing my test, then I got married (big mistake, a long story!) and got a car.So I thought that I'd like to go back to a bike to ride for pleasure, and boy does it make me grin . I just wish that I did my test years ago!But have no fear, I have been taking it easy, as I feel very vulnerable on a bike now having got used to a car! Gaz |

I fancied a shot on a motorbike, however, I hate helmets - so there's no chance
 The bike looks nice in Red. JoJo |

I wish, not saying that it has been raining hard, but there was a nutter with a beard building a big wooden ship asking for two of each animal
