well thanks guys for all your advice and none of my mates ride bikes but its that little thing in every ones head you see some think you like and you must have it.....
i wouldnt ride like a twat becasue i know how dangerous they can be... but i will take my time and see if i can get to go out on a few bikes to see how i get on with them....
i live in bristol and they have some major bike dealers here so i can look around them....
but thanks for all your help i will keep your all posted with what i bought...
