Just got back from another little spin and have done over 200 miles in a month Embarassed and haven't really been anywhere!
Getting more confidant but know I need a refresher course. Hopefully longer runs are just a short way off.
Added some R&G crash protectors to the bike (you never know)!

Glad to hear you've been out again. Keep on racking up the miles - there's no substitute for experience! Once you feel confident enough try riding with someone competent - follow them and watch their lines, road position and speed. You'll be amazed how it helps.

Keep us up to date with progress!

Cheers. Joined a local forum as well, they're having a meet & greet ride out next Sunday. Seen loads of bikes at the venue in the past.

So hopefully (I'm a fair-weather biker..sorry) sunny I'll be getting some tips on how to ride my Cat properly. :whoop:

Hi RTB

200 miles is 200 miles more than no miles. Keep it going.

+1 to what Greencat said - Just make sure you ask them first or you might find yourself in a race!

Not sure if IAM or Rospa do try-out runs but worth a shot.
Bikesafe might be running in your area too - your cop shop should know.

Cheers
