Hi guys/girls, im new to motor bikes, just pasted the CBT and going for the Direct access course, bought a CBR 600cc and hopeing to get past my test by the end of the month so i can get out on it, although if it takes longer im not gona rush it.

Great fun to ride a bike, cant wait to ride my own one now.

 

Welcome man, take your time is all I can say. Buy some good gear and a good quality helmet an go from there. Post a pic of your 1st bike sometime.

 

Welcome aboard the CBRF! Sounds like you've got a great attitude, man.
A great bike, too!
I wish you the best of luck on your testing, and enjoy the forum!

 

Thanks, i sure will take my time, need to build the confidence slowly, dont wana be another motor cycle accident statistic if i can help it.

Roll on the fun times tho broom broom

 

Thanks.

Im dying to get on my own bike but not gona rush it all.

Roll on the good times ahead tho.

 

Can anyone recommend a decent balaclava for under my helmet, i want something that keeps my head warm but also slippy so my helmet slips on easy.

Any suggestions welcome

Ill do a search online too

 

Have you looked at the UnderArmor ColdGear? I don't have the hood, but I have the pants and they work great in the cold.
It seems like a good bet to fit under a helmet (thin stuff), and I know the material would keep you warm.

 

The welcome crew covers all the bases quickly Do take your time when getting to know your 600! If your starting on 250's (like I did), the difference is going to be HUGE! Throttle control will save your life! As far as Baclava's go, I got one at REI for winter Running, it's made of Wool, but is super breathable, and it was like 10 bux....First 20 degree ride to work in the AM it was a Lifesaver!

 

Cheers, i have to pass the tests on a 500cc bike so hopefully shouldnt be too much of a big difference when i get on my 600, ill take it easy anyway tho.
