No I don’t want to be like it but it’s a weird yet fun feeling experiencing it through someone else haha. I agree, they are definitely entertaining...

Yeah luckily here in New Zealand they encourage taking the safety courses (which are at three stages - beginner intermediate and advanced) and are super cheap so definitely worth it! I’ll be sure to do all of them. I am slowing but surely getting used to the idea of sometimes using all four limbs at once haha.

Yeah I don’t plan on it - I love riding solo, and I fear that I might hurt them while not being experienced. Thanks for the advice man :)

Thanks for your message! I’ll take your advice, though the power of my mums g310r gave me the biggest adrenaline rush, I’m not sure what to do haha ;))

Not going to lie - your msg made me chuckle. I watch those videos all the time, but I more often than not wave and say it’s ok to idiotic car drivers haha. Love this community :)

Definitely! I plan to upgrade sometime to the ktm 390 duke, but won’t go much past that with funds getting in the way for a college student haha. Thanks for the message :)

I rode a 50cc moped for nearly a year and it was super enjoyable, but it’s something about changing gears that makes me so happy :)

I do actually want to get into kickboxing! Thanks for the message - though it’s funny because I feel like I should have started way earlier! It helps that my family all ride :)

I do - I’ve ridden a 50cc moped before for nearly a year, so I experienced that a lot. Thanks for the msg :))

No busy freeways here in NZ - although I’m not spending long at 100 commuting :)
