    Hi all, new to road bikes and this forum

    Only recently got my RE. Have a Ducati 900SS that I can't ride unless shadowed but have also bought a Hyosung just to get some practice. I can hear all the comments about the Hyo but I guess you have o start somewhere and all the other 250 bikes are just too small for me. Hope to join some of the organised rides and meet other members. Cheers for now.

    Hi and welcome along, I bet you aren't that big, I consider too big for a normal 250 as being over 120kgs and over 6'4"

    At least you live in Vic Park, R shadow central, so you should be able to get out and about on the Duc

    If you want to acknowledge other riders just flip them off.

    Thanks for the welcome. Hopefully I will be able to get out there on the Duc if I can get a shadow.

    Hi and welcome, I haven't asked for a shadow as yet, but am sure that there should be someone willing to help out. How long you had your RE?

    Thanks Stoneville

    Would have been great but I had a function to go, and probably lucky I wasn't on line otherwise I could have ended up in the doghouse for not going to function. Would be keen to go some othertime. Cheers
