I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future

  • I'm currently looking at a street bike. The Honda CB125R, also no problem at all, I love talking about bikes too, don't know everything but getting there

    • Good choice, my first bike was a 125 CBR and my current cb600f doesn't bias my opinion at all. Do you have friends/family to toddle along with?

      • I have a friend that has been coming across and having me pillion for them at the moment but I know a few others I might be able to reach out to for advice and things... maybe.

        Family is supportive but sadly don't have bikes themselves so going to going alone with that aspect.

        • Not so much advise as finding good roads and solid stops. I prefer solo rides but it depends on who you are and why you're out. Come to Yorkshire, we have wonderful roads and beautiful scenery and a 125 won't run you to afoul of our notorious police.

          • Yorkshire is a little far from Southampton but I should really do it, I know it's quite beautiful up there and haven't been in many years.

            • It's a bit far, maybe you'll get pulled into the Iotn Butt UK stuff and start ranging farther afield

              • Possibly, If I'm going it will rather have to be done through several days or I might need my full licence to be able to go on the Motorway.

                • Twisties out beeline home is how I do fun days, also how I commute too. Do you have a car license or is this going to be your main form of transport?

                  • It's going to be my main form of transport, as it's kind of pricy these days to get lessons at £50 an hour.

                    • A fellow all weather rider, welcome to the club, we had snacks but they're soggy now.

                      Gosh, I am so excited for you, my first year was so fun. Particularly riding the tits off a 125, fully pinned throwing the thing around like it's nothing, genuine "happy place" stuff.

                      • Yeah going to be a fun time, especially as it won't take long to visit family as at the moment with busses it can take upwards of 2 hours.
