@motorcycles I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future

Yeah going to be a fun time, especially as it won't take long to visit family as at the moment with busses it can take upwards of 2 hours.

Oh, I forgot about independent mobility... Going where ever and whenever you want is AWESOME. Probably the best bit if I'm honest, though I like riding for riding's sake.

I think my riding for riding sake is going to come over time, I've enjoyed my experience on the back of a bike and will probably enjoy when I'm in control of it even more.

Here's hoping, I find it fun even when it's scary. Bombing too hot into corners or cars merging into where you are intense situations.

I do hope you get the book, I wish it came with exercises but it's intention is to be used along side the practical police instruction. Learning to E brake without ABS, trail break through corners, etc are useful skills not just to go fast, but to stay alive when things don't go as planned. But, helping make accurate plans are what the book excels at.
