I'm a newbie! Hello!
 

Hello!

I'm currently just a pillion (to rubberduckofdeath) but I am hoping to complete my CBT course and DAS test this year. I spent the best part of £1k getting leathers, lid etc so I could ride safely with him (he wouldn't let me on the back until I was well protected!) so now I feel i'm ready to bite the bullet and take the test myself.

I've always been interested in bikes and now I have protective gear and enjoy the thrill of riding as pillion, I really want to ride myself.

Any advice / tips to get me started would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
Cat :)

Welcome!

My advice is to go out and practise using the clutch on his GSXR1000 he's got there. It wont hurt you, promise :smt066

Na, seriuosly - riding bikes is a completly differant experiance to riding pillion; you'll have much more respect for how much work goes into riding even if you decide that after the CBT riding really isnt for you and your happy being a pillion!

My girlfreind maria (miss alpinestarhero) has been expressing wishes to learn to ride...anyone got a CG125 we can borrow :D

Don't listen to anything anybody other than your instructor tells you. They have done the homework & seen & taught a lot more people than possibly friends/relations have...... Plus ENJOY IT :D;):cool:

Oh, Hello BTW :D
