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)

You've had your bike less time than me and done more blooming miles! No fair! ;)

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...

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.
