Passed my MOD 2 test today so now have a full motorcycle license, just need to get a bike now and get some miles under my belt!

It would be good if everyone learned to drive on a motorcycle. They would be better drivers when they went to 4 wheels and Darwin Awards would eliminate those that would be lousy 4 wheel drivers.

Current ride, black 2000 H-D Softail.

Congrats, Revvin! I've put upwards of 150,000 km on my current ride, a 2000 red Harley Softail. I wish you the same joy, exhilaration, and fantastic memories I've gathered while riding the width and breadth of North America. A tank of gas, the open road, the ultimate freedom.

Since passing my test I bought this a month or so ago. Taking it nice and easy and building up my confidence and experience.

yeah I did the same more or less. I am getting too old for 200 kph plus Japanese rockets and so bought a B5 Enfield last year. Well, it is not actually vintage, its a 2011 model mind you, but its still basically the 1955 tech. They do get a unit engine and EFI these days but the frame is straight from Redditch in the 1950's. It's not retro, the indians just kept making them the same way for 50 years. Why change a good thing? Its actually an incredibly fun bike ...

Beauty!!!!!

I'm a huge fan of the British (design) classics like this. So pleased to see the new Triumphs and even the Norton Commando reappear (all-to-rare still in N America still). It seems that there is a skillful blending of the old with the modern. Electronics, reliable electrics, disk brakes.....but still retaining the flavour and charm of their original design.

I should get the Enfield. Talk about incentive to lose 100 lbs! LOL
