WinBase Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I'm pretty much a newbie to motorbiking, buying my first bike at 60yo last august (Honda cb125f of course !!), and although always been a cyclist in the main, always loved motorbike holiday rentals now and again, so after years of thinking about it thought why not give it a go, to the amazement of my wife, family and m8's who gave me the expected 'mid life crisis' comments, to which i answered that 'i'm too old for one of those', (whatever they are), and i really love it, having always been a bit of an adventurous sort, so much so i'm doing the NC500 next week as part of a 1400 mile tour or scotland starting and finishing just outside bradford. I hope to do my DAS when i get back, but aint a speedster and love pootling around on my 125 in the lanes and tracks of north yorkshire and the dales mainly, doing 100-200 miles on day's out in no rush (i dont commute), and even when i get a full licence will probably keep to my little bike, at least for a while. On the whole i've found other motorbikers i've come across as friendly and good company, a tad different from what i sort of expected, and the fact i ride a little bike with L plates does'nt seem to make any difference, and the saying i keep hearing about that 'it doesnt matter what you ride' is so true, and not just a soundbite, so GL and i'll nod when i see ya out on the road 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-codger Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Welcome to the forum its never to late to get into bikes and biking, As honda said in their advertising years ago " You meet the nicest people on a honda" and that turned out well for Honda. Its not all about the biggest the fastest or the most expensive machine, you can have just as much fun on a moped as you can on a superbike. Its all relative just enjoy being on two wheels and seeing the world go by, Oh and watch out for morons trying to kill you from time to time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
