New to the site and returning to biking
Mar 10^th, 2010, 5:35pm

Hi everybody,

New to the site having just joined. Also only just returned to the world of two wheels after about a twenty year absence. Obviously currently a very inexperienced rider and any tips and helpful advice will be gratefully received. I am planning on doing a bikesafe day and am looking to get some refresher training in.

Off out on the bike tomorrow.

Cheers

My tip is take it easy and ride to your ability, avoid riding in groups until you have more confidence and remember to smile!

Best thing to remember is that the modern sports bikes are far more powerful than those of 20 years ago, and the roads are far far busier ...and they give a driving license to a lot of idiots, so go steady!

Welcome mate and i would say just get out there and ride whether its in a group or not.

Group rides can be good in that you will always find varied abilities within the group and you can pick out things you like in other peoples rides and adapt your own. Also its good to have a brew and a chat about what you thought and what other people thought of the ride.
