After many month deliberation, I've finally got my ass back onto a bike.
Almost got put 6 feet under in Febuary by a numpty white van driver who pretty obliviously drove into the side of me on a main road.
Picking up a CBR600F tomorrow, any advice for a returning biker whos been off games for the summer?
Most of my experience is on an NC30 - is this going to be a major learning experience or do they handle similarly?

thats cool thanks - its ironic, i havn't actually ever ridden through a british summer, except when i was 18 on a 125!
Since I got my license i've either been seconded to another country, sans bike, or off the road in physio or something else i cant remember...
I did my CBT in sleet and commuted through the snow last winter.
Providing its not too much of a change, and providing bikings easy to pick up again, then I'll be fine. I havn't got time to do a refresher course, but isnt bikesafe at weekends?
