Hi everyone, just picked up my first bike today, a K3 SV650n (ty Loz!).

I passed my DAS course 2 weeks ago, so i'm a very very new rider. It's all still a bit scary still but I'm definately getting more and more confident with each ride.

I'm currently living in Oxford for work but I've spent most of my life in Sussex, either Eastbourne or Brighton. Not sure which area I fall into on the forums but hopefully I'll meet some of you on the roads soon!

Sean

Dont worry, i was exactly the same.
Every time i go out now i will do something really good like take a corner well ( not good on corners yet) and then something stupid like run a slow turn wide etc.
Only miles under the belt helps and i still need loads.
BTW great choice with the pointy

Thanks for warm welcome!
I like the look of both the pointy and the curvy SVs but I think I'll have to sit in the pointy camp now i've got one!

Hoping to get some more miles under my belt soon but I have to say, my bum needs a rest from the 2 hour ride I did today! Might have to find a gel seat...
