I can't remember when my interest in bikes first started. My earliest memory of sitting on a bike is when I was about eight or nine up on the Isle of Skye. My dad bought me a book of custom Harley Davidsons when I was fifteen or so...perhaps he thought if I could read about them I wanted want to ride them :) Eight years ago I did my CBT whilst my parents were away on holiday. I didn't tell them I'd done it and needless to say they weren't best pleased when they found out. I'm not really sure why I did at as I couldn't afford a bike at the time, and before I knew it the two years were up and my CBT expired.
So now I'm finally at the stage where I can afford a bike, I have decided to bite the bullet and go for it. Having toyed with the idea of doing the DAS and going straight in with a bigger bike, I decided to start off with the CBT, get a 125cc and practice, practice, practice! I know I'll be a better rider if I do it this way rather than go straight in at the deep end, and as I'm not a speed demon when it comes to bikes (cars is another matter as some of my friends will vouch for!), I feel sure I'll be content with a 125cc for the foreseeable future. I decided to start this blog to keep a bit of a diary of my riding experiences which I will hopefully be able to learn from and be able to look back on with fondness when I'm an (hopefully!) experienced rider in many years time.
