Just thought I'd introduce myself!

Just taken theory test, 100% in multiple choice and 87% in hazard perception. DAS starts in a couple of weeks.

No bike yet, waiting until i've passed, but used to ride a Honda CD125 about 10 years ago, had a crash and never got back on. Did my CBT a couple of weeks ago and looking forward to getting back on two wheels properly!

Cheers all

Very Happy

Thanks sunbear

Something boring cheap and sensible to start with, so probably a tidy XJ600 of sorts. Get some confidence, experience and practice up and then head for something a bit fruitier Cool

All the best Hendo! I'm sure if you used to ride you'll have a good idea what you're doing anyway. I found the 500cc a lot easier and nicer to ride than the 125cc while on training.

Have fun mate! While I learnt a lot on training I had a great time too!
