Loving Biking

[AlexDent1990]

I still only have under a years experience on bikes however with 4000 miles under my belt i have fallen in love with biking and I'm already planning what i like to call "mini tours" on my little YBR 125. If we manage to get a day of decent weather I'll be going from Lancashire to sunny Dundee

I'll be getting a 33bhp bike next summer i don't feel like i need anymore power for my touring needs


Just thought i would share my experience so far

Cheers

Below are some pics of my adventure so far

That first photo is stunning, I love summer nights like that. Today when I was out on the bike (only been riding a year like you) it struck me actually how much I love biking, and then I thought about all those people who tuck their bike away for the winter. I couldn't imagine doing that, if I don't ride for 4 or 5 days I get an itch to get out on the bike. Almost like an addiction.

I agree, my bike won't be stored it will be used in winter whatever weather it may bring

I tour on my little 125, all packed up with luggage too! It can't be beat! Would like to start expanding my tours beyond 1 day, maybe go somewhere, stay over somewhere then come back the next day...

Anyway thats getting off of the subject slightly! Photos are good! Keep it up

I have already crashed, 2 weeks after i started biking and it hasn't shaken me one bit, if i can't get a bigger bike I'll just stick with my little YBR its not.like I'll be using motorways anyway

[JoeDougieDoug...]

[AlexDent1990]

Also I thought the new laws were 19+ you can ride a bike up to 46.6bhp however it doesn't automatically upgrade to a full A license like the current a2, 2 years is compulsory to qualify you to take your "big" bike test....at least that's what i thought but i may be wrong



Then a restricted gsf600s for my touring needs if i am right

[MattJ]

My point was that there isn't going to be a test that allows you to ride <33bhp. There will be a new restriction, yes, but I can't remember what power that is but it is definitely more than it is now anyway.

Nothing beats long distance solo trips on a bike. You will find it much nicer on a bigger bike, with the power to overtake and sit comfortable at speeds of 140 kmh +

that pic at squiers looks horrendous. What a crowd....I would be heading in the opposite direction
