    Hi all,

    I am new to big biking, although I did have a scooter a while back, maybe I shouldn't mention that though.
    Found the 'wiltshire Bikers' website and as I live near Salisbury thought it would be good to be able to meet up and share experiences, rides etc.
    Just about to take my Mod 2 final test and have bought a bike, suzuki gsx650f, arrived today and looks bigger than I remember in the dealers, used to kawasaki er6n which I have been riding for training etc.

    If any of you experienced riders have any hints or tips before I take it out fir it's initial ride I would be really grateful. Also if any of you guys live near Salisbury and wouldn't mind a slow careful newbie tagging along for the odd ride that would be great.

    Many thanks

    Tony

    Welcome. I'm not far away in Tidworth. Who you doing your training with? Watch out for hard to see stop signs in Salisbury on MOD 2!

    Did mine with them great instruction but I hated the ER6N. The examiner at Salisbury (if it's the same guy still.... rides a bmw) is pretty chilled out, I probably should have failed but he let me pass with 7 minors.

    Hi and welcome to WB
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    Know what you mean bout er6n, they are a bit lumpy. Hoping I get a good examiner too ☺️
