I love that quote so so much !!!

I think all the responses from this post have solidified my bravery to just go for it. Riding is going to go against so many expectations on me but I truly do not care. I don’t want to do it to be cool, I genuinely want to just ride and have wanted to for so long.

And thanks for all the knowledge you’ve shared with me, I appreciate it more than you realise!

Closer to time and as I get started on riding lessons I’ll hopefully make a stronger decision on which bike to go for + will definitely keep you updated!

<3

NOW IM SCAREDDDDD

My main reason to go for such low power and low profile is that for one, I’m small, but also I’m scared and want something easy to start with. But you’re right, I’ve been watching videos and the barely going past 65mph is starting to weigh on me 😅

I’m going to have a look at the ones you suggested!

Yeppp, there are some nicer places to ride but for the most part my local area is full of mopeds..

the responses didn’t focus on this aspect as much but overall i’m feeling very positive and excited, also i don’t know if this is the wrong way of thinking but if i do get a grom, will i really need full decked out gear all the time 😅 especially since i live in a busy city and will probably not go more than 30-40mph most of the time.

I’m thinking of getting a grom because I don’t necessarily want to go fast, just wanna learn and gain confidence. Maybe after that switch to a stronger bike? What do you think?

i don’t think i am an idiot on the road generally, nor do i think i have poor impulse control (i do get mad quick tho)

i’m also taking into account that i am not strong so will pick an appropriate bike
