@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

      Do you know what kind of bike you’re wanting? Adventure, sports, cruiser etc? No more unasked advise I promise, I just like talking bike.

        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.

                    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.
