New Boy Seeks Advice...

Hi

I'm H - or climberowl, if you prefer. I'm a forty three year old newcomer, having got fed up of cars (911, 944, Z4 etc). Trouble is, my master plan of CBT - Intensive Course - Test - Big Bastard Bike has had to be reengineered due to the self evident fact that I am simply not a NATURAL. I discovered this in a Scunthorpe car park last week when I failed to follow the simple instruction to "drive in a straight line" preferring,it seems, to do a perfect diaganol. This was swiftly followed by me placing the bike on my head following an emergency stop which included a throttle turn and a clutch release. My first biking accident and CBT successfully completed I have decided to modify plans and spend the summer learning the basic craft on a 125. Trouble is, what do I get? I'm a biggish lad and really don't want to look like a complete nob even before I've set off, so as big a looking bike as possible, I reckon... Any ideas?
