ste68blue 8 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I used to work and ride bikes as a teen and loved them, but as most do moved onto cars. a couple of years ago, having turned 40something i decided i was gunna get "back on the horse" and pass my bike test. I did my theory, my CBt and then completed both parts of my direct access. I now ride a Yamaha FZ6N and love it to bits, i still drive my car but the bike easily outdoes any journey i can have in the car and always makes me smile, the power and acceleration is amazing. My advice would be go for it but keep with in your riding limits and build up on experience. Hope that helps 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Aiken 253 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Not the same as when I were a lad. I jumped on a Suzuki A50P the morning of my 16th Birthday, having never ridden a motorbike before! With a top speed of 55mph I was at school in 10 minutes instead of the usual 1 hour walk! Huge grin on my face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
