Third time lucky! My posts are always getting lost.

Cheers - I'll have a look at peffermil this weekend when I'm playing football.

I am 21+ and have a full licence, not sure about motorbike entitlement.

Do you need to do another theory test?

Have a good long think about it mate. We used to salvage leathers at our place and store them outside when we paid out on claims. What was inside those leathers is best not said.

However, I really like motorbikes and the guy I sit next to is our companys head underwriter for motorcycle. He's crazy for bikes. And everyone knows chicks dig motorbikes.

I keep getting 'the site is confused and lost your post'. It happens to me more often than not.

It is a whim at the moment. I'm thinking about doing it cos it is cool. If I have a substantial journey I'd do it by car but nipping about town or whatever I'd use it.

It would mostly be for standing next to it so babes will flock towards me More than they already do).

Just make sure you're strong enough to put it onto the side stand.

BTW, I don't think the babes will be too impressed until you get rid of the L plates and get a bigger one between your legs !

Look on the back of your licence, if there is a little picture of a motorbike with a date next to it, then you have the entitlement. Most do.

Yes you need to do another theory test.

Depends what you want - cruiser, street bike, supermoto, dirt bike, super bike...?

In terms of pulling power you'd want something sporty and Italian, my recommendation an Aprilia RSV-R. Or something more practical and soft (and less likely to kill the novice you straight away) the Suzuki Bandit 600 - very popular first bike.
