Best of luck. My Dad was a keen motor cyclist and I am always looking out for them( not all car drivers are ignorant). Keep at it and you'll be fine.

So now it's decision time bike-wise. Sports, cruiser, commuter, supermotard, classic etc.

or maybe no bike...

taking the cue from Mr38th and Feline - I want to be safe! Music is my main love to be honest. I've had a couple of recent reasonably sized spills on my bicycle, and its so easy to have an accident.

maybe i've lost my nerve a bit, or call it what you will, but i have no desire to meet an early grave or end up seriously injured.

i kind of decided that i might as well finish the license off as i was so close, and its something i'll always have now. as for getting a bike - well, maybe not as i say.

Motorbike accidents and push-bike accidents are similar in many ways but the motorbike ones happen faster.
Bikes are often invisible to motorists - and they have less time to notice motorbikess as they move along quicker
At least with a cyclist moving slowly along they have more time to notice them and take action (or not)

Well you can hire a 650 Bandit at £50 for a day so maybe you could afford yourself the treat that way.
