    Hi Guys & Girls,

    Im a 33 year old guy planning on booking to do my bike test this summer and purchasing a Triumph Street Scrambler for my 1st bike. I live in Dorset (Blandford) and only plan to ride for leisure in good weather. Im looking for other riders near me who I could build up a friendship with and look to learn from and perhaps go out on a few rides when I pass. My friendship circle doesn't have any bike riders. Im also looking for any advice and tips from other forum members on the best kit to get and clothing etc.

    Thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom and experience.

    Don't be tempted to buy a cheap or cheaper helmet, if you can get a shoei or arai. Start saving now if you have too. And get good quality base layers.

    Welcome to the Family. Do keep us up to date with the bike and test progress. You will get great advice and help here. You just need to heed the good advice and tips. Like skid lids and clothing. Its your life and cost doesn't come into that.
    Regards
    Joe.
