Hi Rhys,

Thank you, it's the weight of the thing I’m worried about mostly, I’m not the strongest of people, so worried I’m going to drop it and I’m sure there is no way on earth I’d be able to pick it back up! Then what do you do!!??

Holly, don't worry, we all drop our bikes at times, and most of us (females) can't pick them up on our own (and some males!) - there's usually someone to help physically - it's just the pride they can't assist with! ;D

As Nokesy said, we all drop our bikes, can't remember how many times I dropped my SV, being a girl helps, you just look helpless (which you probably are) and smile, a guy can't help but come and assist, especially when it's a pretty girl like you!

^^ You girls just do it DELIBERATELY don't you?!

No they're absolutely right; there's always someone to help, especially when you're learning. Just try to be confident and not worry- they have big bash guards so you won't do them or yourself any damage even if it does catch you off guard You'll be fine!

Holly....I'm on a 125 and Ive dropped mine 4 times so far... the last time I was on my own and blocking an entrance with a car waiting to come out (the driver was about 90) so I found the strength from somewhere to pick it up, move it out the way and get home. But, there are plenty of really nice people out there that will help.....one of my big fears was to be stuck, unable to pick it up etc etc, so you're not alone on that one.
Just stay positive and you will be fine Im sure.
The only damage I did to my bike was a few scratches and Ive got through 2 clutch levers.... my bike was made to be dropped thank god .... lol lol ;D ;D

Morning all,
Thank you for putting my mind at rest a little. I'm sure as time goes on the confidence might grow to (I hope)
Have a good day and good weekend
Holly

Don't worry Holly, we only have half a litre of fuel in the tank at any given time, and we use helium instead of air in the tyres...

Fab!!!!
Don't know why I was even worrying!!!! And if I bring along my magic fairy dust, as back up, we'll all be fine [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
