Default Buying a motorbike in WA.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any handy websites or any info on where i can look for a good cheap bike to buy for my wife to learn on in the Bunbury area of WA?

I have had my licence for a while and the missus has finally agreed to start learning and try to get her bike licence. So it would be good to get her a small bike, find a bit of wasteland (plenty about) and teach her the basics before having a few proper lessons then her test.

Also does anyone know if a licence gained over here would be recognised back in the UK? I'm guessing it would just like UK stuff is recognised over here.

Many thanks,

John

Try the Quokka either online or buy the paper.
Heaps of bargains in there.
Cheers,

Cheers guys, both posts are really helpful and the missus is still very keen. So all systems are go and with a bit of luck she will be a learner very soon.
