Welcome to the forum!!

The best tip is to take it easy and grow with the bike.
Keep the shiny sides up too ;)

Pop along to the madlanders section on here and check out the rideouts and meets, get out and meet the nutters;) (theres a good bunch on here and all are friendly too)

Re: Another newbie
 

1/ welcome
2/ good choice with the sv (shame its a pointy)
3/ dont crash (ask plowsie it hurts)
4/ look at madlanders group (there round you neck ov the woods)
5/ start getting the miles under your belt (look for rideouts near you in above)
6/ bewarned these lot are mental (im the only sane one left honest)

Re: Another newbie
 

Yeah, i'm taking it easy, i find riding slow the worst, in traffic etc. it will come. i will check out the meets etc. im trying to get some experience on it before i venture too far.

Welcome to the site. :D

Off topic slightly, but why isn't your post count going up? I make it at least 3 up to now... :scratch: Odd...

Re: Another newbie
 

But you have a better beard ;)

I had 1100 miles on the clock when I bought my bike back in January.
I now have 2500 on it.
Youll get the miles in when you start meeting different people.

hi mate and welcome
Im a newbie aswell !
Passed my test in sept 08 and got bike in october and love it !
Ive done a lot of mods and have just fitted some new tyres today as i had no confidence in the standard tyres !
Make sure you be patient an run the bike in propery, twins more than any engine benifit from proper running in !
Ive done 1200 miles now and it just keeps getting faster, oh and the exhaust keeps getting louder and louder, which is a bonus !!

Best wishes

Re: Another newbie
 

Stephen,
Thanks for the welcome, everyone has been very welcoming.
Apart from learner cb500 i dont know any different from my bike as to whats good and whats not. my tyres seem ok to me but in the future when i get more experience that might change.

Without getting too philosophical, life is one long learning curve so i think thats the way my riding will be, hopefully for a long time.
