Great story.
I too vouch for Motomail, Experience, Colemans and Bandits.
Flicked my Bandit 600 about a year ago but have fond memories.

My office is just down the road from Colemans.
Will expect to see a blue bandit pulling mono's and stoppies sometime soon.

Bloody Brilliant. I'm very pleased for you.

As you can see the Givi screen needs to be the same colour as the bike.
Colmans, in particular Daryl was most excellent to deal with...

I am not so sure about the stoppies, I have never done one of those. The only wheelies I have done have been accidental. Scarey shit and hell fun, but not on purpose. Though sometimes I may have experimented

I am too old to consider learning how to do them "properly" I reckon that is something you get in your YOFF, far too far too for me. I have always been of the opinion that they are not big, and they are not clever.

**hayd3n** · 12th March 2011, 09:10

ditch the givi and get one of these

Congratulations on the new scooter. I agree about Motomail. A very helpful bunch up there. As for Colemans, Man have they improved in their sales department. I could not beleive it last time I was there. Service. WTF. Thats unusual in there. Usually you had to steal a bike before they would come up to you.

Well done Mom..Very cool bike.

true delayed gratification, that first ride home will be pure pleasure - enjoy
