Hello all, I am Chris and live in Andover. I started motorcycling again a year or so ago after a break of 40years, on a Piaggio 500cc 3 wheeler, which gave me the confidence to go the whole hog (pun intended) and now drive a Harley heritage softail classic (1550cc). This may have been overambitious as it is a heavy bike to manoeuvre in awkward parking spots. So far I've only put 500 miles on it in 6 weeks and fallen off 3 times which I attribute to its weight and my dotage ( I qualify for a free TV licence) I will get some practice in during the summer. Any tips welcome, apart from a body building course.

Hi and welcome, I'm sure you will build up your strength and be throwing it around soon :cool:

Hi Chris and welcome to WB :)

Hi Chris, welcome to Wiltshire Bikers!

'ello :)

Just take it very steady, find a car park and get used to doing tight turns at slow speed. Then Roberts your dads brother!

Hi Chris and welcome to the group. Confidence comes through practice, so get on it and enjoy it! Of course further training with ROSPA or the IAM can also help

Hi Chris. Nice bike. Large cruisers can be a bit awkward when manoeuvring at v low speeds. Welcome to WB. :). Richard
