  1. Thanks for the words of advice, onesea. They don’t let me drive the ambulances yet (direct entry uni students don’t get the luxury until they graduate) but I completely get where you’re coming from. In regards to the less than ideal weather and the finishes, couldn’t agree with you any more! Even finishing at 06:00 and driving a car home, you can definitely feel the effects of the 12 hour shift so would never want to risk it on a bike. I’ll probably be on a bike before they let me drive the ambulances BUT when they let me drive them, I’ll remember they don’t filter well and the patient might not appreciate it haha.
  2. Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, definitely grown up a bit since then haha. Thanks for the words of encouragement! I guess it’s just better to hit the ground running like with anything. Cheers, Stu! Definitely! I guess in a way, it’s a blessing in disguise the bike was pinched because I don’t think my ego could have taken any more slides on wet grids. Cheers, Bender! Watch this space.
  3. Hey everyone, I hope you’re all well. Several years ago, at the ripe age of 18 I had a Sinnis Apache 125 which I bought on finance to firstly use as beginner bike. This quickly changed as life changed, I had to use the bike as my sole transport to and from work (40 mile round trip). I was a very new rider and had to ride in all different types of weather, a few times due to rider error and inexperience I came off. Nothing too bad, just a few slides and bruised ego. Fast forward a few months of doing this, my bike was stolen. Ever since then, I have never thought about owning another bike. At the present moment, I’m just over a year away from graduating university as a paramedic and want to get back into biking - I want the freedom and excitement to that I felt when I rode. It will be my escape from the rough days. As I am sure many of you are experienced riders, do you think that me coming back into riding and getting my full bike licence is a good idea? I’m a bit nervous because the most memorable memories that stick with me are me sliding off and having a bruised ego. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t know if I’m being silly or if my past experiences should definitely be an indicator that I shouldn’t ride a bike. Cheers, Beard
