Another New Rider!

Posted July 8, 20177 yr

Hi All,

Just a quick hello/introduction!
My names Kyle, I'm a petrol head (currently driving a mk6 Fiesta ST, which is my 7th car) and I'm finally getting myself on the road to the world of Biking,

I bought my first bike, a Yamaha YBR 125, 08 plate, which i'll be learning on until i'm ready for bigger and better things!
I've got my CBT next saturday, so if anyone has any advice for me, it would definitely be welcome!
I have been driving for 7 years, but so i'm nearly entirely new to bikes, having only messed around with a 125 in first gear before.

I'm looking forward to learning more about getting the most out of having a bike, and hopefully they'll be plenty of knowledge in this club to help me

Kyle

Hi Kyle, Welcome to the YOC, pretty little bike mate BUT don't use a jet washer on your bike you WILL fuck your wheel bearings and blow any lube off of the chain, hand wash time mate. Good luck with your CBT just stay calm and if you get something wrong just work through it.
