    Got my first ever motorbike this morning and just came back from a fabulous day out on the roads. It's a second hand Bonneville T100 from 2009 and a real cutie (see my avatar).
    As a newbie to motorbikes I can feel some questions coming up. Ya'll feel encouraged to educate me and, if needed, laugh at me. Up to now there's one thing I know: I'm going to have a lot of fun with my new toy.
    With regards,
    Frank

    Thanks for your welcome, guys!

    Just realised that 'agree' isn't the same as 'like' here. Can one undo agree and then press like or stack buttons?

    Thanks Bikerman, your shot missed - I watched Blazing Saddles the other day with Gene Wilder as Waco Kid.

    Welcome! Where in Germany are you from? I’m not that far from the border, so maybe we can have a ride out one day.

    Hey BeardedPunk, I'm from Leipzig and unfortunately that's the opposite side of Germany - but you never know!

    Hi there! Only the capacity of the fuel tank and consumption can stop a biker! No road is too far!

    Madhouses follow me wherever I go - or is it the other way round?
