Hello, welcome to wb!

i was exactly the same, i only passed nov last year and i dident have alot of confidence with cornors etc, i am alot more confident than i used to be through group riding watching how other people ride its helped a hell of alot, an the other bit of advice that everyone will say, take it at your own speed never mind what everyone else is doing [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yellow and welcome

yes i agree - i only passed my test last year too and have booked myself on a california super bike school day to help with the training - esp in respect of corners. have you thought of doing that? pricey but well worth it apparently.

[steveo]

thanks for the welcome all, nice to know there are so many people thats can help, my problem is i have such a heavy bike coz its a j reg gsxr750 and there way heavy and all it wants to do on corners is fall over like a wet fish and i keep loosing confidence on the line i pick for the corner, i have looked in to track days honda_star but bit to pricy for me at mo cant wait to finnaly go on one tho., if anyone is goin for a ride let me know im always up fpr a ride.

hope ta c ya all soon :P

Hi Steve

[steveo]

hi bob, hope you r looking forward to the dry weather lol

[Trevena]

Not too bothered by the wet as it's nearly always wet where I came from. I'll be riding to Cornwall on Monday week for a few days visiting.

[steveo]

cool that sounds like a good long ride, planning on seeing anything nice down there

[Trevena]

Family and friends, uncle has cancer and nearly 80 so see him while he's around. Catch up with mates and have a couple of beers. Moved here Aug 2006.

It's a long way on a 400 (385cc actually) though hoping to get a 650 Burgman when funds allow or maybe the new Gilera GP800, 850cc twin scooter.

[steveo]

yeah ganna take a while on ya 400, but hay you get there in the end init. my gixer 750 is in bits at mo, waiting for new spark plugs bloody royal mail are rubbish

[Trevena]

Takes me about three and a half to four hours hours to do the 205 miles. depends if I stop for a cuppa and a burger at Monkton on the A30.
