Hey guys,
another newbie here. I’m Hev, live in Cambs- a very new biker.
i met up with GSF K1 (Del) for a ride yesterday and he can confirm that i’m completely mental for jumping straight to an R6!!
But hey, i’m having fun!!February 13, 2006 at 10:24 am #44991GixParticipantHi R6 bird welcome to the forum. Got some pics of the R6? I dont think you are mental for getting straight on an R6 after getting your license, I went and got on a GSX-R600 when I got my license, though I had been riding smaller bikes for years.
How long you had the R6 then? Kneedown yet?[]February 13, 2006 at 10:41 am #44992R6_BirdParticipantWorking on uploading pics!!
I am totally new to riding…like passed my CBT beg of Jan and finished my DAS end of jan!! passed first time with only 3 minors tho. kneedown will come….!February 13, 2006 at 10:53 am #44993GixParticipantYeah I passed first time too, also 3 minors lol. One was we went down a narrow winding lane and the limit was 60mph, but the examiner was on a great big BMW thing and I stuck to about 55mph, the examiner said I went a little fast for the road but hey it was a 60 and I was making progress lol, reckon it was just cos he struggled to keep up on his elephant with wheels.[:o)]
February 13, 2006 at 11:00 am #44994R6_BirdParticipantHaha, mine were observation on my U turn (evil!!) and other two was when i had a lil spack with the clutch pulling out of junction…which i still occasionally do- noramlly down to car drivers not indicating!!! Ggrrr
February 13, 2006 at 11:05 am #44995imperialdataKeymasterWelcome to The Bike Forum Hev, hope you enjoy it here. Think of the jump to a faster bike as a jump to better handling, better brakes, better tyres etc, so you could say you are now safer all round!
