Welcome colbo w4lc0m3

I'm sure you'll enjoy it ........


As you say it's your first bike just be a little careful .... yep it's a pussy cat but it gives a hefty roar and bites if you wind it on ..


Watch the rev's until you settle in...


As you say .. the world's largest twist & go :-0)



Enjoy the nuthatch .. you'll find all the info & advice you might need .. some ot might even be useful

w;;v Take it real easy as its your first bike, it can bite. I advise you take some enhanced motorbike lessons with your local bike trainer, you'll definitely benefit from a few hours enhanced training. There are too many mistakes that new riders make or are unaware of in the first few months of biking.

That said, most folks who drop the bike do so while its stationary or nearly stationary as the weight/balance/bad luck can catch you out. It took me 5 years of ownership before I dropped mine...bl4hbl4h

Regardless, welcome to the bird nest, give as good as you get, and most of all don't forget how to log on.

Be PARTICULERLY careful when, in the wet, it is VERY easy for the foot to slip off the side stand. You think it's down and don't realise it isn't until it is too late h1d1ng2

I done that outside Sainsburys in Staines. Unfortunately the females were not impressed with my involuntary loud language, cos that was the first time I dropped it c7u8
