Passed my DAS 2 weeks ago bought a 600 bandit w plate, 20000miles, service history and the bike had plenty add ons.

Picked it up at 4pm and was a little nervy before i drove away, seconds later i was on a high, what a starter bike Very Happy feels so
safe and the brakes ect are so sweet. Hit the motorway for the 1st time no problem at all felt so relaxed and if it wasn't dark i'd
be away a run right now.

Cant wait for tomorrow so i can visit my sister in Luss Very Happy

The DAS test stressed me right out, now its proved all
worth while.

Dark runs are quality, you should go out if it's not too wet 'n' windy. Summer dark runs aren't so good as rider and bike get covered in bugs Sad so if you can hack the cold go on one, just make sure you have breakdown cover/toolkit and tolerance for cold. Hardly any traffic on B-Roads and it just seems so peaceful compared to daytime even on A's.

Go out about 03:00. Coolest part of the day. No flyers apart from
the odd moth or two. Roads empty 'til Farmer Giles starts moving
about - around 06:00. Don't go too mad if you're out solo, for obvious
reasons. Get home at 07:00. Go to bed for a few hours. Get up. Go
to pub for a pint and lunch. Brilliant Thumbs Up

Congrats, Mapex. Hope you enjoy many years of biking fun.
