Hi Beerman.
I am new to this forum also, having recently traded my Bonnie for a CB1100EX.
Great advice above. I have been riding for over 30 years and learned that with any new bike there is always a learning curve of some sort. The CB's are a classic style and have great handling characteristics. As said above, don't use the front brake at slow speed when manoeuvring. They balance well because although quite heavy the centre of gravity is low.
Ultimately you will get on fine, just take your time initially. You'll soon forget your apprehensions.
Where in the UK are you ?
