@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

    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.
