Hi Ben and welcome to the madness

Nice picture btw

Hi Ben,
Welcome too!! Congrats on the mod 2!! What do you ride/planning to ride???

Top Security Guy?? Got any tickets for........................

Nice to know you!!! Best of luck around here, although the mickey taking is nothing like it is at the circuit!!!

I don't have to worry about the mick taking so much. When it comes down to it i am the man everyone wants to know when a race meet is on. What i say goes.

Not wanting to kill myself too early so been looking at a 600 hornet. Same engine as the baby blade and a fun ride . Any ideas otherwise??

What about Mid Life Crisis Bandit here : - https://themotorcycleacademy.forumotion.com/bikes-for-sale-f4/97-suzuki-gsf600-bandit-for-sale-t5.htm

Ah the famous picture off of the acadamy wall. hmmmm maybe........ am going to look around first. A bit sad but i'm picky over the colour and looks. Am not exactly the smallest bloke in the world so don't want to look like a clown on a tonka toy.

hey ben, well done on passing, dazz said you did well. and i reckon heading into the winter is a great time to buy a bike as they're more desperate for a sale so make sure you barter!

well done m8 i know of a honda c90 any good to ya !

Hi mate nice one for passing

OK after lots of umming and aahhing i've baught a bike. Nothing like Blickys Busa but still i hope it's respectful enough to be parked outside the academy at some point when i'm down. Just wish the open day wasn't in the middle of the BTCC at Brands or you count me in and i'd be there.

I hear it's a nice ride from Kent to Thruxton.

See you soon

I hope my first bike is held as acceptable by all the mastered riders.



A never failing HONDA!! CB900 Hornet.

Very nice mate....enjoy it.

very nice bike m8, is it ur very first bike then or u had one before i have been looking at a suzuki sv 650 for a first bike don't want anything to powerfull to start with, i would like a R6 really but not shour what to go for what u think?

Yeah it's my very first. I'm not one for going stupid from the off and i'll quote the rickster on this one,

"Your the one in control of the throttle!!"

I'm quite a well built guy ansd weigh over 16 stone so a 600 would feel very light for me so i went for a much heavier and more powerful bike. I know loads of people who have had sv 650's and as a first bike i've heard then great fun and you can really throw them around. It also depends on insurance etc but they are definately worth taking for a spin.

Regards

Thanks for ur input m8 that helps the sv should be right for me then i think as im quite small 5,7 and only 9 stone lol thanks agen

Well, it's my 1st time on here so thought I'd start with a simple "hello!"

Hi VR welcome to the madness, hope you enjoy the insanity (wot do you ride?)

Well, nothing yet! (cue the girlfriend wanting something else as always!)

Looking for a bike right now for luxury/leisure means but fortunately not in a great rush so looking for advice from everyone. So far, the Dazman has said: "stay away from the Ducati!!!"

Not wanting something too powerful to start with or expensive (again, cue the girlfriend!) - kinda thinking if i trash it i won't be too gutted then! Obv prefer not to trash it and myself for that matter!

Sports Tourer 700 ish cos i prefer to be a bit more comfortable rather than bent over for the entire journey. Also looking to add paniers and box further down the line - a practical man i am and Hells Bells will vouch for that! Oh, and have no idea about the insurance side yet either but not sure whether anybody can guide me on this?

That's all for now...

Daz will also tell you to stay away from Honda but please don't listen to him, he is so jealous of us Honda riders, will not admit this outside of the house but behind closed doors..........now thats another story Happy hunting!
There is a company for insurance i think that you can go through on the Motorcycle Academy home page, if you can't find the number then Darren or Helen will no!

Now then - now then....Hear me now

I did mention to the Rockster - Yamaha - Suzuki & Honda are the bikes to look for, but to stay away from Kacky Kawasaki,them being a collectors bike....you've got to keep stopping to collect the bits that fall off
& disasterous Ducati cos they are poo & cost heaps to repair...

I have a confession to make.....I am a closet Honda fan

Are the panniers designed to carry a twin each? Now that would be practical
And don't worry about the girlfriend - we'll get her a licence too and you can share the bike (now that is a scary prospect!!)
