First Motor Bike advice
spinkster:
the only reason i said jeans was because leather or textiles are a little expensive for the initial kit....ok they are useful but i'd rather spend the extra on a good helmet jacket gloves and boots than leather trousers

Try http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/hermes/shop/1,1,100 there's usually some bargains to be had.
If your doing a fair bit of mileage go for a 4 stroke 125.

Thanks guys for all the advice.
I think you are right about the "Protection" issue, I'll hold some cash for quality gear. I have my own a lid already, I got it when my wife had her twist and go only used 5 times and conforms to all the normal regs.
I think you are right, it will be a known brand. whilst the copies look great I'm not sure about quality and spares!
I passed my driving test in 1989 so can use a 50 with out CBT, however I want a 125 so have to do the CBT. Going to give it a go for a bit then if I get on ok will do my direct access.

:D :D Patrick....I retired from the force 6 years ago having spent 24 yrs in Traffic...cars and bikes....I also own 14 motorbikes (Jap and old British)...every year I ride across Europe on long distance rides...I've been as far as Russia and Bosnia...........my only advice regarding buying a motorbike is simple.....get a Honda and you wont be disappointed...my preference is a trails bike...I prefer the riding position and you can always do the odd green lane on them....best of luck to you mate :D :D
:D :D Smithy :) :)
