Talking Biking

I passed the MSF riders course today... so now - once I get my license changed - I can legally ride a motorbike.

I'm so chuffed, it's something I never got around to doing in the UK.

Now I just have to decide on a bike....

Congratulations mate so did I but it wasn't exactly taxing was it it is Florida!

The world has become a significantly more dangerous place then.

Don't forget the helmet and proper clothes just incase you fall off!

Oh god it's worse than i thought. You be better off waiting until you're middle aged, at least all that testosterone would be out of your system. You're still in that "boy racer" stage.

It was nice knowing you. Say hello to my grandparents for me.

Congrats. Don't know if there are too many twistie roads on Florida so you might be looking at a Cruiser.

More of a sports bike man myself (or Crotch rocket as they are affectionately known).

This is my weekend toy:



As someone has already said make sure you wear full gear whenever you go on the roads. I know it's a tad warm down there but coming off a bike can hurt - and it's not what you do it's the others around you.

If you need any help/advice feel free to ask!

That's a nice bike

You're right - Miami doesn't have the roads for sports bikes.

What bike did you start out on?

An ex-student tuned up at the course today showing off his bike; it was a $14000 Ducatti sports bike.... he only passed the test three weeks ago!
