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 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.

                    • Oh, I forgot about independent mobility... Going where ever and whenever you want is AWESOME. Probably the best bit if I'm honest, though I like riding for riding's sake.

                      • I think my riding for riding sake is going to come over time, I've enjoyed my experience on the back of a bike and will probably enjoy when I'm in control of it even more.
