Newbie advice

[Bills meanie]

Hi Lushy,

It'll just be practise. I had a Honda CB500 four years ago. A great bike but also heavy. Can't wait for the rain to disappear so I can get out there and get used to it. Lush is there any womans groups? Don't mind the guys at all but thought it would be fun for woman only group. Your thoughts?

I met a few of the ladies on a Ulyssies Ride and they have a lot of fun, most times takin the piss outa us blokes.

Hi Girls
What part of Qld are you from? I haven't looked into womans groups yet but hubby and I are keen to join the Sunshine Coast Ulysses club when we turn 40 at the end of this year. I'm hoping they may organise girls only rides. Apart from that I have a couple of girlfriends on the coast who will be getting their bike licences soon so we'll have an unofficial 'newbie girls group' happening before long if you live nearby. I'd love to hear how you get on with cornering the VN800 once you've had more practise, I need all the practical advice I can get!

welcome aboard thegirls, i find the secret to handling on a big bike is to relax and lean back as you tip into the corner. basically the oppisite to a sportsbike.

Just wanted to say hi especially to all the Learners like me. Have any of you checked out medical usb dogtags?? My fiancee and I both have them and they are great for all bike riders. They contain all your ID info including photo, emergency contacts and medical info like blood type medical condtions and alergies. They are a great idea especially if you do alot of travelling with people who dont know all your important info just something for everyone to consider.
