I have finally taken the plunge

Green_Martian

Well lads, about time, but i have taken the plunge and bought myself a bike.
My mate was selling his 04 Bandit GSF600 so i decided to help out by buying it:D

Can't wait till i collect it on saturday with hopefully some help from Steffano2002

If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for it? And best of luck with your purchase.

enjoy your bike but please get some pro lessions and take care of yourself man. There's 90% of the other road users out there who could kill you in the blink of an eye.

Nice bike. Best of luck with it pal.

yeah get some lessons before taking it out on the road, its a big powerful bike that has to be respected

I'll take care of the first few lessons.

The very first will be "How to wheelie?"
The second will be "How to stoppie?"

Seriously though, Green_Martian is a very responsible adult and a very good (and safe) cage driver. He knows I won't allow him on his new bike unless he has proper gear (which he's getting this week). And he knows that the first thing he's got to do is get lessons with David Lyons.

I'm sure he will be a great, safe and successful biker.

Good luck G! And welcome to the world of biking!

Good to hear. DL is a top man for the lessons. I'm sure Steffano has made sure the test is already applied for in Raheny

My mate sold it to me for 2,500 Euros, very good for a 04 with only2,800 on the clock
