Hi, Brief introduction: I have never ridden before, but at the age of 55 decided that I should after seeing a beautiful Bonneville parked near me on a trip to Thame. Booked CBT the next day and then bought a CBF125 the day after that. Spent a year learning not to fall off and took a 4 day course last week - passed Mod 2 on Friday - bought the Bonneville on Sunday. The best thing of all is that it's the same bike I saw in Thame. (2004 T100). Looking for a nice retro open face helmet now - any recommendations? Cheers Steve

Hi Almo, thanks for the comment on the Bonnie - yours looks great - is it brand new? How long have you been riding?
Cheers SteveJ, thanks for the recommendations - I quite like the look of the Bultaco and Infinity Motorcycles at Southampton is not far from me. Cool bike!
Hi Monkeyjoe, very smart looking Bonnie you have there - they are amazing to ride after a 125! Just done about 70 miles this morning on the pretext of work! First ever motorway run down the M3 and M27.
Steve, yep it's brand new. Did a similar thing to you and saw a Bonnie last year and loved it, so did my cbt straight away and rode a little 125 for just under a year. Then passed my cat A test then bought my own Bonnie
