Rufio Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Only tip I can offer is take your time getting used to it. Being as I only passed my CBT a few months ago, I'm still getting to grips with my bike and it's only a 100! Just remember not to push too hard because you might not know how to cope with what gets thrown at you. Most importantly, have fun! Biking is an absolute hoot and you will find the sense of community that comes with owning a bike really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
