Kinda excited and kinda nervous

O

so I booked my motorcycle theory test for the end of august and course to learn to ride and practical tests.

im excited and a bit nervous (I don’t know why nervous) I think I maybe because I’ve just been drilled my whole life with “they’re death traps” “you’re forbidden to ride them” etc etc but I’m excited that I’m doing something for me with all my own money (mum paid for lessons and tests for my car) and trying something new.

just wanted to share it with you guys and if there’s any bikers here would be cool to hear some top tips from you guys Grin

  • a tip would be to do the test on 125cc 
    my uncle made mistake of going for some sort of rush test or whatever that allowed him to go up to 500cc right away... yeah, he must have failed his test a few dozen times by now.... 125cc easier to ride and control, is lighter, and doesnt rip you apart with big lunge forward when you accidentally stall it at a junction or coming out of a car park lol, then you can work your way up later on.

    That’s what’s I’m doing I’m going straight for the a2 license because I’m 22 so it’s 125 initially then the restricted 600cc

    ah yeah i had a restriction thing on my virago 535, my dad easily removed it when i passed the required amount of time for it to come off as hes mechanic engineer so he could pretty much easy do anything like that, i wouldnt have known how to take it off myself lol
