Newbie here

#1 Unread post by Iceberg »

Hello, my name is Alex and I am a newbie... With that said, I have a 2002 Triumph TT600 (which I crashed on the freeway), and I need loads of advice! That's about it, thanks!

Alex, welcome!

I often ride with a friend who's second bike (I know - rough life. :wink: ) is a TT 600. Those are very nice bikes. I hope you can get yours up and running soon.

As for advice - if you have any specific question regarding your accident, fire away. I can guarantee there are many riders here who have crashed too, probably with similar circumstances.

Barring specifics about your mishap, the best advice I can offer is to take the MSF Basic Rider Course, if you haven't already. That will do a far better job of making you a safe rider than exchanging idle banter with the likes of us. :wink:

Hi Iceberg.... welcome!!!

My best advice is to either get the bike fixed (if possible) or get another bike soon. Either way, getting back in the saddle again is best and will help you get over the crash....how bad was it?

Cheers
