« on: June 07, 2010, 09:04:48 pm »
Well as some will know, from another thread involving me asking noobie questions about bikes, that I am trying to get my bike licence. I have passed my theory and have my training booked soon and will hopefully *fingers crossed* be passed by the end of the month. I now have a bike!  :pomppomp:



Its 59 reg with 1500 miles on the clock. Has a tailtidy and scorpion can on. Im so exited!  :jumpmove:

Also just go this to match.



And looking for these in a size 46:



I have been looking for a leather alpinestars jacket with the same green on but cannot find one or gloves!  :sad1:

Ollie :happy2:

Congratulations Ollie!! :pomppomp: :jumping: :pomppomp: :jumping:

You got any pics of the bike you've bought?! You get it from a dealer?!

Try Hein Gerike for the boots, see if they have them. What model are they?!

Fingers crossed the good weather is still here where you've pased our test :happy2:

Thanks Matt, for all your advice too!  :drinking:

I haven't got any pics yet. I have bought it off a friends dad who has been offered a Honda and offered me his. I think this is better as I know how the bike has been treated etc. Its only just been run in.

I will have a look now. They are Alpinestars S-MX R boots.
I hope so to!  :laugh: :happy2:

No bother at all Ollie, thats what forums are all about :happy2:

I've just typed the boots into Google and there seems to be a few places selling them, might struggle to find a size 46 though (just chop your toes off, makes shoe selection a mile easier :jumping:)

Yeah I have found a 45 for £120 delivered! I am a 45 in normal shoes but I was told I may need a size up. I will try some 45's on tomorrow and hopefully they are a comfortable fit.

I'll echo the same things about being carefull. I've been closely involved with 3 bike accidents now. One was a year ago today when we lost a brother in law. The other two were friends, one of which Lost a leg a week ago today. Be careful out there ollie. With great power comes great responsibility.

I know they are very dangerous machines even when ridden carefully. A study in a mag said that 36.6% of crashes were caused because of a car drivers inability to see the biker.  :scared:
