Hi,
Past my licence(on the 3rd attempt) at the end of July after a year and 3946 miles on my CBT with my CB125F. Then last Wednesday I bought a Suzuki SV650X and have racked up 350 miles and hope to breeze by 500 by Friday!
Loving being out on the new bike with my to-be-mrs riding pillion! Looking to get out more on the bike and have some blasts around devon, not going to lie I’m a bit gutted I got the bike so late in the summer, but I’ll be riding it all year anyway!
Been on the Facebook group for awhile and thought I’d make the leap onto here. Interesting thing that happened today... tyre puncture (all sorted though)

Re: Hello!
Hi Charles
Welcome to the forum. Hope that you like it here there is a lot going on with ride outs most weekends and pub meets for the Moto GP when its on. But if you have been following the Facebook page I guess that you know that already.
Congratulations on passing your test and sounds like you have already racked up some miles already so hope the confidence is building.
Hope to see you on a ride out soon.

Your more then welcome to join any of the rides posted and due to the drop off and tail end Charley system then we will make sure you don’t get lost.
However I would highlight that this ride is listed as a spirited ride so might not be the most friendly pace for somebody who has recently passed there test.
Might want a quick read of this
viewtopic.php?f=94&t=89587
If you would still like to attend you are very welcome please just add your name to the thread so I know numbers for breakfast at the hotel.
