GTFPV, I've got the pump to start with, now I'm looking into a computer and tubes, then all the other bits.

At the moment I'm getting my legs tuned in, by doing 4-5km trips around the suburb. Once I've got those muscles working, I can extend the range, and get more enjoyment out of it all!

Then one day I can leave the Harley at home when I go to work!

5 TO 10 kms is a nightmare when you start , but after acouple of weeks , youll be doing 20 . and after a month 40km rides . most ive done without a stop is 60 , but stopping makes it easier . 60 km rides are only really necessary for bragging i found , 40kms is plenty . have fun
