Hi All

I could do with getting some advice on bikes.... so I am guessing I am in the right place? :D

I have a big interest in cars; mainly drag racing although I have done some track time (this was a few years ago!) As my motor is now mainly for transporting the dog and a second track car is not a great option at the moment my interest in the beautiful two wheels has grown even more. I live right on the edge of the Yorkshire dales all I see on perfect sunny days is bikes going past my house and I want to get involved!

But I don't know anybody who has a bike who I could have a chat with and could offer me some advice on how best to get involved?!? :(

Can anybody help?

Any advice or direction would be much appreciated, even if it is a wave as you go past lol

Thanks
Jenn

Hiya n welcome :wave:

Take a look round the forum.... and familiarise yourself with it... check out CBT/Test area, loads of useful info in there, and if you cant find what you're looking for just ask! :)

Hi Vicki

Yeah the site looks great, fab advice on the CBT/test area - really helpful.

Was hoping to talk with a few people and get some advice that way also... :D

Will give you a shout if I need anything though - thank you.

The Dales are fantastic.... see the bikes heading off and it just makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle with excitement, adrenaline pumping and i'm not even on one :) It's gotta be a good sign lol

what would be a good idea would be to get to one of our get togethers, meet a few of us face to face and then take it from there, we are a friendly bunch and there is a few of us from around your area so you never know you could end up with a few pilion rides on offer.

welcome to the dark side :angel12:

That would be awesome - I'll keep an eye out for one of the meets and head over to say hi.

Appreciate the help...

hi jenn and welcome to the biking world
as they have said have a look round, and ask away,
it all depends what you want,maybe a little ride on the back off one to get you started,maybe a few trips out,then get a 125 and get the basics,then onto passing your big bike test and the sky is the limit :wink:

maybe a sign outside the house saying bikers welcome,free bacon butty would help no end too lol
