    Talking Bikers = wow (Driftmonkey)

    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

    Gets your blood moving when riding though, love it.
