Well done fella 🙂 Good felling innit!

Nice one! Well done.

Have you got a bike lined up?

well done, seriousley thinking about doing this soon myself (have thought about it for a few years and now i'm going to man up and get on with it)

heres a nice bike for you:

No bike as yet, will be looking for a cheap commuter that could do a bit of touring. Any ideas?

Congrats!

I finally got round to buying a bike a couple of weeks ago (Ducati Monster 695) and been thoroughly enjoying myself since.

Suzuki SV650S – I used to commute every day on one and went touring two up to Spain and back and round the UK. Fantastic first bike – always brought a smile to my face whenever I rode it. Replaced my first one with a Honda Hornet, absolutely hated it and sold it after 3 months and went and bought another SV. The people at http://forums.sv650.org/ are very friendly and will point you in the right direction.

Oh, and congrats on passing your test.

Just bought one of these for £900

nice tractor but when are you going to get a motorcycle?….

😉

Welcome to the club by the way, always good to have another biker.

Not bad for 900 quid! 😀

Honda Deauville is the obvious choice. Bought one as my first big-bike after DAS and then kept it for 10 years. Great bike.

Only just replaced it with this recently:

Its got 38 000 miles on clock but has been kept well by the looks of it, should be good for commuting on and have a bit of zip for longer trips. Hope to chuck a tent on the back and head off next summer for a bit.

Honda Deauville was on the list but this BMW came up.

The Funduro is also a good bike – been close to buying one a couple of times. Great commuter and will tour 1-up no problem. Wouldn't want to tour 2-up on one though.

Let me know if you're heading up to Scotland as I don't need much of an excuse to head up to Wester Ross or Sutherland.
