Hi everyone,

I'm new to the world of biking and have to say I’m loving every minute of it! Just passed by CBT a few weeks back and starting on the 500cc soon, not going to lie, am a little nervous but enjoying it none the less, been told by a few people to get on hear so hear I am!

After LOADS of practise hope to be riding with you all soon.

You should pop along to the Sally or harp and crown or Oliver Cromwell or black horse to meet a few of us!don't worry about coming in the car if you don't wanna go on the bike either

Hi and welcome Holly.
Everybody is a little nervous at the start, if you weren’t you would be a risk to yourself.
There are a few ladies that are new or very new on here, some have just passed their CBT and some a little more experienced, what’s more, they are the nicest bunch of people you will find.

Come to the meets (in your car as some do if you wish) and have a natter, I promise you won’t regret it.

Hello and welcome Holly [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]
I started learning to ride the beginning of April, managed to finally pass my CBT at the end of April and I have just passed my mod1 at the second attempt, fingers crossed my mod2 is the end of August. Everyone said the 500 would be easier and I didn't believe them ::) ;D but they were right, tho it took me a couple of hours to get use to it!
You won't meet a nicer bunch of people than those that make up WB's

Hello and welcome Holly, nice to see you on here. See, I told your Mum we were a nice bunch!! I'll take you over to the Sally one Thursday if you like, probably not be on the bike as I still haven't taken a pillion yet! Give me a call, your Mum has my number! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hello,

Hope you had a good holiday.

I can not wait!! Really looking forward to it, slightly concerned at the lack of muscles I have when it comes to moving the beast but I figure if I just go in straight lines I’ll be fine!!! : )

See you next weekend!

Hello Holly, I'm still learning how to ride my bike even after passing my test 10 years ago..... you never stop learning and improving in my opinion! Good luck with your training and hope to meet you at a meet one day.

Thank you all for your kind "Hello" and "good lucks" I need it! or more to the point I think the Able guys will!!!

Hey Holly! I'm another newb here- been riding a 125 for years but only passed my full test less than a year ago; let me know if you want any pointers/have questions about the test! 8-)

Holly

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

Bonnielass
12-08-10, 03:14 PM
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! :D

rhys_himself
12-08-10, 04:23 PM
^^ 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!

Beamer
12-08-10, 06:57 PM
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

Holly
13-08-10, 08:55 AM
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

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... :)

Holly

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]

Hey Holly, congrats on the CBT and MOD 1 passes. Was I twisting your arm to join the site one Wednesday evening at the Fart & Clown back in the summer when it was warm and light? :-? I was talking to you and your boyfriend if I recall correctly... ::)
Fingers crossed for MOD 2 whenever it is, hope it's not too cold or icy :o

Holly
30-11-10, 07:41 PM
Hello all,

Freddie, thank you :) so pleased to have finally got that out the way!! Now for Mod2!! eekkkk!!!!

Thank you to everyone else for your "congratulations" i won't go into figures.... but got there eventually once i got rid of the nerves and grew a pair!

Bonnielass, thank you, we'll get mum doing it eventually, she keeps saying about going on the back but i'm not to sure! :)

Scotty, fart & clown!? sorry i don't think it was me but then again... some people call me trigger and i'm sure i should be blonde but i can't remember this? sorry
