@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 haven’t ridden in forever, but i liked to get into first and get a feel for the clutch of whatever I was riding first before going out on the main road. I usually rode cruisers or standards, but I hear sport bikes are a bit more touchy/sensitive.

    Once they get a bit cheaper used and i clean up my finances I’d love to get a e-motorcycle….or something easy around town like a Rebel or similar. I mostly road a 80s Suzuki Intruder 750 before the wiring bit the dust when I was a teen/20s (older millennial)….then the Buddy50 my sister bought🤣

    I keep looking at these forums like a kid looking in a candy shop lol.

      Yeah my first little ride was only around the car park but it was great fun and each time I’m pillion for my friend I’ve got a great big smile on my face, I love it so much and can’t wait to see what I can do with Motorbikes in the future.

      I’m hoping to get a Honda CB125r in the future what’s a street bike. I always love seeing some really nice bikes across forms and the web, or even in real life where I can admire them.

        Oh yeah I had a blast ripping down the little bi-way in my town. Now I’m in the middle of a halfway decent sized city and something like that would be great around town. If I wanted to commute to work though I’d probably want a 250cc bike or a bit more for the highway. I’m just out of practice anymore 😭

          Eventually I’d get a 300cc or something when I get my full licence to the motorways in the UK but a 125 is good enough especially as I’m only doing my training meaning I’d need Learner plates on till I decide to actually do my licence.
