Back to biking after 20 years

[Richard ZB]

Hi all, just want to introduce myself and tap into your local wisdom. Finally got a 650 Dakar, and loving it . 20 years since I sold my R100RS.
Will watch out for ride out's and get along soon.

Been off bikes for 20 years, and though I've lived here 19 years don't know about bike dealers etc.
The bike needs an MOT in Feb, any recomedations near Ottery St Mary or Exeter?
Don't fancy a trip to Ocean Plymouth just for that.
What about an advanced riding course for a rusty biker?

Thanks
Richard

Thanks guys one week of riding and loving it. Got cought on the ice today, steep lane, kept it upright, but so much ice I couldn't get a foot hold, Had to wait for a good samaritan to help me turn around and get off the hill. Thank god for white van drivers....
