New to the Biking World

[TriumphTart]

Hi all, I past my test in March and have fallen in love with motorbikes, can't stop thinking about them! I have a Triumph Street Triple 675 2011 plate in red and just want to ride it 24/7. I never imagined it would make me feel like this (thumbs)

I must sound really sad, but I am sooooo excited about my new motorbike world. I rode to a bikers café and had a cuppa, I thought it was so cool, lol. I am reading loads of books about peoples adventures and life and on a bike, it is amazing. I also have the 'Haynes Motorbike Manual' and now know how a piston works, yay, a least it's more exciting than 'Womans Own' magazine, lol.

Hello and welcome from Cumbria.
My wife has been riding bikes for 22+ years and has loved every minute of it.

Now you have a bike be ready to say good bye to all the spare cash you will ever have...and all the spare time you will ever have.

Welcome !
- that motorbike feeling and love of riding you have just found is why pretty much we all ride or have been riding for so long.....

on the negative side as someone has already pointed out - its an addiciton and will empty your pockets (thumbs)

Cheers Mike, yes, I have been spending money like it is going out of fashion, just got some new boots £220 gone just like that. Oh well, can't think of anything better to spend my money on, hahaha.

Regarding spare time, all I do now is look at the weather channel, lol.

Thank you, I am so shocked at how the bug has bitten me. I literally go to bed and wake up thinking about my motorbike, and daydream about all the plans on travelling around the world on it, well maybe one day hey.
