I passed my motorbike test and i can officially ride any bike i want so.......
I went out and bought a brand new Honda Hornet CB600FA9

The only bad news is i cant have it until 3 weeks later when its registered with 10 plates

Since day one of my motorbike training (late october) i always said i wanted a hornet. During this time my trainers have had lots of different bikes for me to play on like a bandit,fazer etc and i always liked the hornet the most.

This might sound a bit silly but passing this test and getting this new bike has opened up a whole new exciting chapter in my life (does that sound silly) i have been invited to 2 bike runs in april and made some biker friends, what next a biker girlfriend (*read as girlfriend

*)
Does that make sense to any of you guys, did you feel like that over owning a motorbike or is it me just still running high on excitment

Anyway maybe Ocuk could have a bike meet this year, id be well up for it

How long until this excitment runs out i cant stop making fisting actions and shouting in my inner voice "OH YEAH!"

Well done mate. I get really excited over bikes as well. Much more than cars which I can't get my head around. Anyway, roll on spring time.

Any pics of the bike?

I will do when i pickup the bike on march 1st

Just a little update:
I went down to pay for the bike, plus i traded my 125cc in so thats all done.
I bought myself a big beefy chain lock (monster i think its called at £114) and for being a good customer this week he threw in a £30 disc lock for free

Being a super noob to bikes, how much ? and any pics?

I got £500 for my megelli 125m and plus £500 discount cause i mentioned my trainers name to the salesman. So ended up paying about £5570 for my brand new hornet CB600FA. No pics im afraid of my actual bike (not till march 1st) but ill post a link of what i bought:

This would be a worthy mod for your new pride and joy. Assuming you're getting an immobiliser/alarm!?

Do you need a mobile phone as that will be a problem

I really am thinking about getting mushrooms, but it will have to be at a later date due to funds. At the moment i got it into my head that i want the following:
Mushrooms
GPS

Ill most likely go in where i bought my bike and get it from there, as i seem to be well looked after in there with discounts
