Hi there mate,
Just take it easy as its your first ride on the bike, dont worry what any other road users are thinking if you end up stalling the bike or something, and most importantly enjoy the ride! Thumbs Up

yea cheers, even on the moped at 45-50mph its fast round that section! i will only be going 60mph tops as got to run it in, taking it in every day hopefully so i can pill the miles on and then run it in quicker! Very Happy

going to really try and run it in properly as i dont want a engine rebuild and no bike for a while Sad

that would be bad!!

That looks a good route, I use that way to and from work (between Lewes & Burgess Hill), and you can have a lot of fun on that road (if you don't get the idiot coach on it).

You go to Hurstpierpoint College?

as its 22miles away!! go in, show it off to my mates that says "your ped must be well slow" clam its faster than my friends 1.9TD as its 0-60 is 4 secs quicker, sit around as just done my exams with every1 saying happy birthday and being extra nice! go for a ride with a friend that live in that town and drive home as quiet time!! sounds a great plan to me rather than saying in on my own! Very Happy

Your really lucky.

I had to wait 3 weeks after my 17th till I got a 125, and then couldn't ride it for another few weeks cos it was a duffer.

Also my college is only a 10 min ride away, 7 miles, but is fun cos theres loads of traffic to go around. It would take nearly an hour in the car.

Oh and you should post some pics of your shiny, new RS.
