well I have finally done it, after threatening to do it for 30 years. I have sold my car and bought my first motorbike. I picked up my YBR 125 Custom last week and have clocked up nearly 300 miles riding around town and going to work. I am not pretending to be 'a biker' (just yet) but I am enjoying every mile. Theory test and practical next and a big learning curve in how the mechanics work on a two wheeler. the experience of riding a motorcycle is living up to my expectations - commuting is exciting again!! what am I sorry about?....that I didnt do this 30 years sooner!!
will keep you posted
