Hi,
Firstly I want to thank you all for having me.

I am completely new to the bike world and am looking to purchase my first motorcycle hopefully shortly. I came on here to learn as much as I can, after all I am going to need to learn how to work maintenance on the bike and keep it running!

Thanks
