Aye an a welcome from me 2. like Mick says it's a best site Totaly mad, but loads of good advice and really friendly. If you've only been on the bike twice since march have a good read through the site, re weather and clothing. it'll help you prepare for the winter. but if your not sure just ask.

PS if your bike has been layed up that length of time it might be worth while going round with some oil and stuff, look at the cables chain hubs etc. some of the others with more experience might like to comment further on that one :!:
