Ive never owned a bike and until this week had never ridden a 2 wheeler before. I was brought up in a race car household so 4 wheels was the immeadiate option growing up ( also my over protective mother is not a fan of bikes so always kept me away from them).
So raced go karts at a national level for many years till adult life took over and grew out of it. The bug came back after doing an engine conversion on my current car and my first experience at drag racing ( which lead to a full drag season with 3 wins and 1 2nd in my very first season).
Ive never had a great interest in bikes never liked being on the back of them. That is until this week where i just jumped on a bike with no instruction and noone around and i taught myself how to ride a 250 within 5-10minutes.
And now the petrol head in me takes over. Jumping on that bike gave me the same adrenaline rush as lining up on the drag strip. I couldnt believe how much i loved it and the fact you dont have to wait for events to ride you can ride any time.
Well needless to say im hooked and now i am desperately searching to find my first bike. Im looking for a trail bike atleast 250cc preferably honda, suzuki or yamaha. Road legal ofcourse but most importantly something relatively cheap for me to start out on. Something even a bit rough aslong as it has all lights, indicators and a current number plate so ready to go.
I look forward to chatting to you all and learning from all of you.
Welcome Richard, great to have you on board.
Keep that positive atitude going and you'll be fine. There will be a few on here whom will do their best to suck the life out of you, but just ignore them and you'll be fine.
BTW: Each time I click on your KB Handle, it opens up the entirity of your 'One Drive' data store. Isn't that stuff supposed to be private ?
PHEW.....JUST MADE IT............................. UP"
