Hi Kate,I passed my test just over a year ago,bought a 650cc Dual sport but found it a bit slow for riding with my mates so after 5months it got relagated to my winter hack and i bought an xjr 1300 a big beast of a bike in Feb,I go riding regular,and went to France with a group for a holiday this year,I've done 10k on the xjr and probably another 4k on the 650cc......ride with people who are more experienced than yourself it will push you slightly and improve your skills,avoid riding with anybody you struggle to keep up with or won't make allowances for your ability/nerves.....but most of all go riding and enjoy it,
