Only passed my test on the 2nd but I would totally take up the offer of a slow pace ride for newbies!

I've an XJ-6 diversion that I just haven't been doing justice (commute up and down a motorway :() that needs a good ride after its 1st service in a week or so in order to celebrate the first time I should be taking the tach above 5400rpm :)

part of the lack of riding for fun is due to not knowing decent (suitable for newbies) roads to go on, I tried the other week and just ended up on rutted country lanes (good on a dirt bike, not so on a road bike) which totally sucked.

Been riding now for more years than I care to remember, so I guess I would class myself as "experienced", but riding a bike is a life long learning curve, just when you think you have got it..............the back end comes around....... :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Anyway, I work a month away and then a month home, so I am always riding around in the week on my own due to every one else being in work, so if your off at any time in the week (and I am in the UK) then I would more than gladly come on a quiet run with you or anyone else for that matter..........Thing is I live down the Gower, which would in my opinion be an excelleant place to get some practice in.  During the weekend the place is full of tourists who have not got a clue where they are going, but during the week it is pretty dead with regard to traffic.  Could always meet anyone at Verdie's in Mumbles and take it from there...... :thumb_up
