New guy, never been on a bike in my life!!!!

Hey all,

In a moment of madness i've bought a 98 thundercat in black red and white. Its been sat in a garage for the last 18 months and when I saw it was covered in dust. But I took a mate along later who's into his bikes in a big way. He told me after having a good look round it needs a service and new tyres and a good clean and if I didn't buy it he would. A good bit less than a grand with 15000 miles on the clock and a micron can.

Now all I have to do Is the CBT, theory, some lessons and a test! Trying to do this on a bit of a budget but still have to buy leathers helmet gloves etc etc...

Not sure what i've let myself in for but after sitting on it for a few seconds I decided I need this in my life!

I no absoloutely nothing about bikes but I intend to learn as much as I can from this forum!

Cheers all, Smalls

Thundercat is a brilliant bike, 15,000 miles is nothing if genuie. Also the Red/White abd black ones are the fastest!

:whoop: yep you got the fastest lol

well done on an excellent choice of bike (and colour scheme great

) mine also sat in my garage for a few months before my test too and the only time i'd been on a bike was the sydney harbour ride in australia but it was on a Hardley so it didn't count Wink

You'll soon get the hang of it and when you pass you'll find the 'cat is a very forgiving bike Smile

look forward to seeing you at some ride outs before too long then. have fun
