Welcome aboard Reece.. There are plenty of information "treasures" to be found here, not to mention the fun, games, and camaraderie among the members..
If you have any questions, don't feel shy, fire away, and it won't be long before you have real answers gained from people with experience.. ;-)

Hey Reece
Do you have Reese peanut butter cup candy in the UK? One of my favorites...yea, I have many more. Peanut butter and chocolate is a deadly combination.
OOPS....your name got me side tracked. Maybe we should ALL have a reese cup in honor of you joining. I doubt anyone would object!!
Who's buying?
WELCOME

Hi Reece ~ Welcome to the best information/support site in the world!!
Just a warning, whether you have the "Addiction Gene" in your family or not, you will get addicted to this site and have terrible withdrawals if you stay away too long.
Other than that, have fun! ! !

Hi Reece welcome, so you had an "ohh s**@e" moment on or rather getting off a bike too! Welcome and has been said just ask away if you have questions. The search will also provide a wealth of information most everything has happened to someone in here at some point.
Enjoy.

hi racepace
Theres a few bike loving dudes/birds around on here, me too yet only as a passenger, as I nearly done meself a load of trouble riding a pitbike on a field and falling off onto me head....imagine me on a powered up mean machine?
Your one of the younger to be in this sci gang, yet theres loads of peeps on here who manage to stay young even with 20 odd years plus of sci under their belts. If theres a way, they know how.
Like me in the world you may come accross many who will say 'oooo your too young to have this kind of thing, we only see old people with it' to which me usual reply is
'ohhhh I see, because loads of people me age are bike racers/rally drivers, stunt people, jokeys, snowboarders, extreme mountaim bikers....I did not realise that not one of these people got injured until they were 75 years old
