My neighbour bought a brand new Hyo gt250 and I told him I'll give him a riding lesson on sunday, well sat night comes round and he pulls his bike out and goes for a ride by himself.

Half an hour later he's at my door with a broken collar bone and a written off bike.
It only had 20km's on the clock and was totalled.

Ride legal and have insurance, you never know whats going to happen...

Any of the 250's are ok as they really are just a stepping stone.
Get your lic and do your year then worry about getting the right bike to suit you.

*facepalm*

did you break his other one, johnno?

more importantly, did he just crash on his own, or hit someone else?

[Johnno]

He crashed into a powerpole on a corner. He payed for that mistake $$$$ Lost about $5000 over night and sold the bike back to Dale Brittons as a wreck

oh jeez thats an expensive couple of days huh?

[Johnno]

Yeah I couldnt believe he did it.
Was about 18 months ago and his misses never let him get another bike..

[Spuddy]

probably a fair call
