Back in 2021 I thought it would be interesting to have a go on a motorbike. So I completed a CBT course.
I enjoyed it enough I decided to invest in motorbike clothing (thanks Manhattan Motorcycles ) and complete my full licence, which I did in spring 2022.
That was that. I’d had a taste of biking, mission accomplished. At least that was the original intention, just get a taste of motorbike riding.
Not quite. It wasn’t long before I started looking at motorbikes at local shops, just out of curiosity, I kept telling myself. Yeah, wrong again.
So now I’m the proud owner of a Yamaha xj6 Diversion. It’s old and has a bunch of miles on it, but it’s mine.
As motorbikes go it’s not fast. Still plenty fast vs than most traffic when getting away from the lights. Certainly fast enough for my inexperience!
Now I’m just looking for any chance to go for a ride and have found a few hour long loop routes from home that have a variety of roads for practising.
Still very much enjoying time on motorbikes.
