@motorcycles 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

    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.

          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?

                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.
