    Hi all,

    I am brand new to biking, currently riding everywhere I can on a CBT on my mighty 2009 Yamaha YBR 125 AKA The Silver Bullet to gain experience whilst waiting to do my DAS course and Mods 1 and 2 in October.

    I do happen to have a beautiful Street Triple R waiting for me in the garage at home (huge motivation to get out there and get as much practice in as I can!!!) and am married to Helmut Visor who is patiently riding at my speed with me when we go out together and providing much useful advice. I am also going out alone plenty, including a 72 mile round trip commute to work and back a couple of times per week - the days where my appearance can be a little more "relaxed" than others!!

    Looking forward to joining the biking community proper in (hopefully) a few months' time.

    Welcome to the forum, @Mrs Visor! It's always great to have another woman member join the community. :) It sounds like you are putting in lots of practice and I'm sure it's helpful that your hubby, @Helmut Visor, is doing some of your rides with you. I found it helpful and encouraging when my husband rode with me when I first started riding. Good luck with your tests! Yes, a lovely Street Triple R waiting would be a great motivator. Please keep us posted and even share a few photos if you care to.
