    If you are into a bit of reading, twist of the wrist is a great book all about controling a road bike. Ive got it in pdf form if you want it lettuce know
    Yeah I'd like a copy if you don't mind.
    Thanks very much.

    It sounds like this book is a best seller on KB.
    Any chance of putting it somewhere to enable download?

    You've come to the right place for advice - I trawled the forums here for months before I actually got a bike. I would have made some real dumbarse decisions if I hadn't. Enjoy your two wheels.

    Take a look at the planned rides. There might be some slow 250 ones around that are great to ride on.

    And good to see you've finally joined the site hey

    Hello,
    Nice Hornet... one of the better bikes to learn on

    Advice? Join one of the more sedate KB rides on the weekend, they'll take you along some of the better motorcycling roads and also there is bound to be someone who would be happy to tow the line for you to ride and follow their lines.

    I learnt biking from turning up at a KB ride with only 50km on the clock on my new VTR250

    Which part of Auckland are you based?
    newbie since August 2004....
    VTR250 (retired) / SV650S (Fw:Keystone19) / GSXR750(given up) / CB400(traded for 919) / CB900 Hornet / CBR954 (traded) / CBR1100XX (sold) / TuonoR (sold) / CB900 Hornet / NC700X / MTS1200 / XR250
