I’m Alex, I live in East London, I’m Scottish, but been in England about 12 years, London about 3 years. I just got into biking recently. I did my CBT and theory last October. I attempted DAS with 2 days of training, but put my foot down on the uturn on the test. Since then I’ve been hibernating over winter
Anyway, today my first bike arrived, so I’m going to be enjoying some time on a 125 over the next few months before thinking about upgrading.
I’m also going to try and do some servicing / maintenance on my own, so if there are good Samaritans here who would like to help, that’s be really cool.
I highly recommend you book yourself on a maintenance course at the www.ovalmotorcyclecentre.co.uk - the course will teach you some basic concepts to keep your bike in good safe condition and also it will help you when you go to upgrade later on. The OMC also rents fully equipped workbenches for bikers who want to do their own maintenance - so could be good for you!
You have just missed the newbie night on Monday at the Ace. There will be another one soon, I suppose.
I`m a newbie to biking myself (ish), got back on the bike after 4 years of not riding. If you wanna come for some newbie paced rideouts for a bit of practice, PM me.
