That's a lot of bike for a beginner! Glad you had fun and stayed safe!
It was only basic clutch control, turning and breaking. Didn't get over 10mph, also will do (I did wear full gear well riding as well)
Oh, good. Because I was also going to comment on your lack of gear! When you do get a bike, budget 80% for bike, 20% for gear. You don't have to go top end, but certainly avoid low end. Affordable comfort and safety is what you're aiming for, consider your weather conditions and gear up for that 👍
Yeah certainly didn't get low gear, have paid about £500 on gear so far. Need a new helmet as I was donated it, along with some trousers as I'm using my friends atm. Probably costing another £300 at least but least I'd be protected.
Going to spend about £3,000 on a bike so think I have actually spend more than 20% on gear.
