Good evening

bryanc · 10-24-2008, 04:14 PM

Just joined this afternoon. I completed my CBT last night and I've signed up to do my actual test at the end of next month - looking to try and hire a bike rather than buy at this stage - (see my other thread in Bike Chat). Only been riding for 2 weeks (had 4 lessons so far) and loving it. Not sure what bike to get once I pass (if I pass!) but any advice would be welcome.

Hey Bryan, welcome to the forum mate.

Plenty of bikes to choose from, but are you restricted to 33bhp?

hello Bryan and welcome. Like Thunderlad said, there's plenty of bikes out there, don't hurry into anything - unless it's too good to miss

keep your eyes open, listen to loads of people (only listen) ride as many as you can, read as many reviews as you can, then finally weigh it all up and buy what you want, and only what you want
see i can do sensible posts

and welcome to the forum

Cheers will keep an eye out for something.

Bryan............go into your profile and add your location, you will find poeple in your area inviting you out on ride-outs and such.

Hi,

I'm 38 and passed my driving test in '87. I will therefore be restricted to 33bhp as suggested.

Your doing your A2 then, the guys will give you loads of options for your 2 years restriction
