Hey all.
For the last 5 years I have been wanting to get my own transport, mainly a bike, but funding was never there.
Now I have the money to do it! (yay) but I have no road experience and at 27 years young I am much more concious of the dangers. I feel I can overcome them but not without a fight winthin myslef.
I live in Milton Keynes, the place with the roundabouts and USA style crossroads which is all great in a car. What I dont see is many motorbikes (apart from the weekend sports bikes) and with the way people drive in MK I feel is adding to my still putting of getting my bike.
£1500 fully comp for a 10 year old 3 cylinder corsa... no chance.. cars = no!
£400 fully comp for a 600cc 6 year old bandit... yes please!
I think what I am getting at is the fact that people drive like idiots in MK, its mostly dual carriageways and with the roundabouts people fly over them. Rush hour is horrid in a car and I dread to think what its like on a bike.
Someone slap me or tell me you have ridden in MK and what it was like for you as a rider...please!
I am booking my theory on monday, then ringing the school to look at getting my CBT done.
By mid may I should get to about £2000 for a bike and insurance (Tests and gear are subsided already.
Ps: I have a bad habit of Non coherent rants.
