Hi Vern, welcome to the YOC, don't matter when you start it's fun.

A little late in starting myself - while i think I'm glad I didn't do it in my teens / early twenties - I wish I'd done it earlier than I did. Get through those lessons and get a bike as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you potter about on a 125 for a bit or go straight through DAS and get a bigger bike - everyone is different. Just do it .

Hi Vern, so you are a 'youngster' then. I started biking again when I was your age and have never regretted it. That said, having taken my direct access test and bought a Bandit 1200 I nearly killed myself 3 times within a week. I quickly realised that speed was not my friend. That's 12 years ago and I've just bought a Yamaha XVS650 and joined the club. When you get your bike, try not to follow my example. I'm much calmer now and enjoy country lanes at 50 mph max.

Allo Vern, welcome to the forum. As said , never too old to start. I started when I was about 40 am now 66 and am totally enjoying retirement going to away games on the bike not having to worry about getting back because I have to get to work the next day.
