Been riding for a few weeks and loving it, coolest thing I've found is the brotherhood-esque kinda thing going on with bikers, young - old, harley to honda, everyone acknowledges everyone. Giving a little wave or a nod, I think its pretty damn cool. Wish the car scene was like that!

Me and my MC22 are just cruising around for now learning how to take corners like a champ and all the little fun things, clutchless shifting is now a breeze, flying through the middle of traffic at lights is cool too.


Wouldn't mind moving up to a 400 in the coming months, 250 is fun, but I have the bug me thinks.

Good forum too, been having a read through, nothing but laughs.

How long you been riding for? You should stick with the 2fiddy a while imho, I'm guessing you're on a learners/restricted and you won't get anything significantly quicker than your MC22. My 2c

In total so far it's only been a few weeks. Admittedly, I'm still riding much too slow for even old people driving in cars. Need to get comfortable with leaning down more so I can actually go around corners with some speed:weep:

Gets your blood moving when riding though, love it.

Learn the RIGHT way of doing things from qualified instructors.

Yes, theyre all in to hairy men and buttsecks, but the roads no place to advertise.
