Hey Everyone,

Just thought id pop in and say hello. Im new to riding big bikes and have my test later this week. Fingers crossed.

Picked this up yesterday after wanting one for a very long time.http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5222/5685346118_8391bdb61e.jpg

Iv got a few ride outs planned for later in the year, namely Bridgewater to Newquay for the air ambulances charity run. http://www.somersetmotorcyclegroup.co.uk/

Also will be making an appearance at weston bike night on may 5th. If I see any SV's about ill be sure to say hello.

Take it easy, look forward to riding with you.

Cheers for the welcome.

I had mod 2 yesterday. Sadly I failed as I left my indicator on for to long after making a turn :-(

Got it booked in again in a few weeks. So annoying having to wait 10 clear working days.

Two more weeks of cleaning and maintenance then. Buying a Haynes and some stuff to clean the stainless today.

Once again, thanks for the welcome.

+1 to what Rich has said. I did exactly what you did on my first test, made extra sure i cancelled the signals the second time round :D

What they said, atleast you haven't been dishearted by it like others I've known and then delayed it. get back on your bike and learn from it. Know your weaknesses and learn from them :) I had a horrid clutch on my Learner Kawazaki it was like either on or off and hated going into first :|

Welcome and don't beat yourself up about the test, I failed my mod 1 first time round. Just treat it as a practice run and next time sould be less stressful because now you know what to expect :thumleft: Good luck, you'll have that sv on the road in no time
