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.
A fellow all weather rider, welcome to the club, we had snacks but they're soggy now.
Gosh, I am so excited for you, my first year was so fun. Particularly riding the tits off a 125, fully pinned throwing the thing around like it's nothing, genuine "happy place" stuff.
Yeah going to be a fun time, especially as it won't take long to visit family as at the moment with busses it can take upwards of 2 hours.
Oh, I forgot about independent mobility... Going where ever and whenever you want is AWESOME. Probably the best bit if I'm honest, though I like riding for riding's sake.
I think my riding for riding sake is going to come over time, I've enjoyed my experience on the back of a bike and will probably enjoy when I'm in control of it even more.
Here's hoping, I find it fun even when it's scary. Bombing too hot into corners or cars merging into where you are intense situations.
I do hope you get the book, I wish it came with exercises but it's intention is to be used along side the practical police instruction. Learning to E brake without ABS, trail break through corners, etc are useful skills not just to go fast, but to stay alive when things don't go as planned. But, helping make accurate plans are what the book excels at.
