New rider with a new SV650 sport
 

Hello People

Just thought Id put a post up as I am totally new to the forum, and biking in general.
I decided after many years of debating that I would get my bike license sorted, so last sunday, I completed my CBT, then did my direct access during the week and past my test thursday, which wasnt bad considering I had never ridden before.
I then took delivery of my fantastic 58 plate K8 sv650 sport in grey a few days ago.
I must admit that its the best decisions I have made in a while, and although Ive only done a hundred 'running in' miles on the bike, I am hooked.
Anyone got any tips or things that may help me, let me know

cheers

I live in London, and am up for as much riding as possible, even in this rubbishe weather. Rain didnt bother me but the wind made it quite interesting.
