How do you enjoy riding?

Don't disagree with personal choice of protective equipment.

As you well know, some of me mates wear a lid and not much else.

I'll wear me leathers for long journeys and commuting, maybe my jeans for a wee trip to the shops. But then not being a lard arse, I get cold in just jeans, where as my leathers keep me toasty and relatively dry.

As to speed and stuff, I think (after a chat with diesel this weekend) the whole thing is rather subjective.

I think I'm a bit slow compared to what I could be (there is no should, ride for yourself), but diesel thinks I ride fast. I don't try to race her (no way is an ER5 going to beat an SV650 from the lights), I just ride at my own pace and style. But if she gets bored and blats off, I usually catch her before too long.

You can be quick, without going fast.

I don't know what the answer is, I'm not even sure of the question. I'll continue to ride for myself, and improve my riding by learning on the road, and doing some courses like bikesafe.

I own a ped, piaggio zip sp, but do not think of myself as a 'ped boi' i even have been scared doing 55 before and i have been riding 7 months, so i am option 1, but this is enough for me to get a buzz from it , hopefully the cg125 i will be riding in 5 weeks will still give me that buzz or depending on how money goes the mito definatly will

Oh yes and minus the harley bit.

I voted "I love to use all of my bike's power & handling to the best of my ability & thrash around with a manic grin on my face", but then again I do only have an rs125

Hi

Quite a few bikes are not that bad in height. How tall are you?

All the best
