...is getting silly.
I dream about it, spend hours looking at all the gear I want and now, this morning, I spent a fair few hours looking at what's needed to take my test and get a license. I have the bug bad!
It's probably just as well that I can't afford to do anything about getting my license, as I'd probably spend a fortune on petrol (is that what they use?
).
Went for a little ride yesterday in the rain and I even loved that. Can't wait for Monday when I get (hopefully) to go out again

As with everything . . . once you start, you can't stop. I got bitten by the bug a long while ago and it hasn't left since . . . still yearn for another bike over here in Thailand, but it's just TOO damn hot . . . I like My aircon! lol If you do go for it, be careful! Get proper training and all the right gear and don't go for too big a bike too soon. Most of all, have fun! Tats Be safe. Be well. Be happy. | ||

You can learn alot while pillion riding, you have nearly as much input as the rider because if you didn't go with the flow it could end in tears.
Takes a while to build up trust in a pillion before you can start pushing it, and vice versa.
It's all about enjoyment and having fun, like here there is a lifestyle that goes with it if you choose to do so.
I simply couldn't live without a bike, they serve many purposes as you will get to find out. After all, all he did was string together a lot of old, well-known quotations.

When I was over there it seemed that a bike or a scooter was mandatory! That or an open backed truck thingy | ||

I trust the person I ride with and I hope that he trusts me. He did say I was a natural pillion, so can't be bad for starters

An ex of mine was a bloody good pillion and she ended up getting a fireblade, i'm a cautious passenger but i went out on the back of her a few times, it felt surreal.
