same here, did my basic with Riderskills and had a one on one training for two hours once i got my bike, and going to book for another training session with Phil soon.
I did tell him, that he was going to take me all the way to my unrestricted license. :yes:, money well invested in my safety and riding skills

it is quite a learning experience to have someone like Phil take your riding apart:innocent::facepalm::shutup:

phil: why do germans always go on the wrong side of the street? :nono:
Me: oh oh because we're german? :blink:
but i don't do that anymore :yes:

but yeah i will be back for another helping of constructive critisism :yes:

my riding can only improve...... :ride:

got to book my theory test now...will do some of the online practice first aswell as learning the bike road code.....then probably look at a hyosung gt250r or a gt250n as they are more suited to the bigger rider...fullsize frame with a 250 motor...got jacket,leggings,boots ,gloves and a AGv K4 helmet this weekend as cycletreads were having a 3 day sale....the axo jacket was 650...got it for 299....lots more to learn......

Im sort of doing it all back to front,been riding on road for 31yrs and only just got nabbed a couple of months ago. Always told myself that when I get pulled over i will sort my license out,so have parked my bike up and am going to go for my license before i ride on the road again.Bloody hard though,having a bike or 7 and not riding.:yes:

Awesome stuff. I did my BHS with Dawn and Steve from Rider Training, they were both very helpful for a newbie rider...
As I am a bigger rider I asked for an exemption which was granted, now I am riding a Suzuki M50, and loving the two wheels world.....

have been thinking of getting either a hyosung gt250r or a gt250n as they are a fullsize frame with a 250 motor...as i am 42 and 6'2 and 120kg so not small.....they are pretty well priced too....think about 7995 for new efi gt250r at the moment......250 is fine as got nothing to prove out on the road other than learning bike skills....not racing to keep up with people etc....hope to do a track day at some stage when i can master it.....usually go down to hampton to take pics and would be good to be on the other side of the lense.......cheers
