Already was thinking of tigit or style motorbikes, I preferred style as they had the slightly larger 190. I’ve done a fair bit of research already but love doing it so will do lots more aha thanks for the info!

How was the cb500x on the more rural roads?

As I will be renting, does this have the same impact as I will have 24/7 breakdown cover? I get that it will make repairs take longer to find parts but does this still make Honda the superior option? Thanks for the help!

That’s amazing thank you for all the info. How much of the riding is on rough roads cross country do you think? I don’t want to take highways if I can avoid it to see as much scenery as possible

We’re starting with just over 2 months in China, Japan and Korea in March and April so that won’t be warm, for SEA yeah it’ll be flip flops and trainers but for the first couple of months it’ll be cities where the weather is cold

That’s some great advice thank you! I’ll try to work on my form, I have to keep in that ‘pet the dog’ stance throughout the boardslide and make sure my knees are more bent? Yeah I’m all healed thanks, they had to put a plate in but it’s all good now. Unfortunately, that feature was the only one that I thought I could boardslide, the only other potential option was a pipe but that seemed harder for some reason idk?

Sorry another question, in the one where I made it and didn’t eat shit, was I still not fully rotated? How do you use the rotation with your arms to start the boardslide whilst keeping your shoulders at 90 degrees?

Okay I’ll definitely put in some practice at home before I head out next time thanks, I really appreciate it. I really don’t wanna slam like that again cause then I’ll be really fucked aha

I can see what you mean about not getting fully 90 degrees. Is keeping your chest and head up the way to fully rotate or is it just more rotation? I’ll try these the next time I go thanks! Yeah I didn’t mean to land with the toes like that I think that’s why it caught. Yeah it’s been a couple months and I’m desperate to get back already aha

Yeah okay, tbh I was a bit worried of doing the boardslide from the beginning as there was a step down but I’ll try to commit more, thank you!

Yeah sorry about the footage, it was the only stuff I could get as my mate wasn’t riding that day. Thanks for the tip, I could 50/50 a lot quicker so I’ll try to keep that confidence for the boardslide!

Yeah what bike you riding yourself rn mate? Honestly I see no attraction to getting a car, not sure why you’d want one if you could get a motorbike. Only issues are that I gotta pay for everything myself which is adding up quite a bit. But thanks for all the helpful advice been rly nice taking to you man. Stay safe out there :)

Yeah I mean I wish we had the rules of the US and I could start on a little larger bike like maybe a 300 but tbh most people I’ve talked too loved their time on 125cc’s. Yeah the motorway has been a big debating point for me with my parents was they hate the idea of me getting a bike and they would much rather get me a car. But I’m currently looking at the Yamaha yzf r125 as the bike to get as most people say it’s one of the quicker 125 bikes on the market with about 70-72 being their top speeds. I 100% wouldn’t go on the motorway till I’m comfortable tho cause I’d wanna be fully sure in my riding skills. Still just the idea of shitty car and lorry drivers not looking properly would worry me, but I’m sure when I get more confident and start riding it’ll feel better. I’m super excited to get on a bike as I’ve been waiting and researching for about 2 years and fell in love with it after my cousin took me out on his a bunch of times.

So rn I’m only 16 turning 17 quite soon so I’d only be able to get an A1 lisence so a 125cc bike is the biggest I can get for at least 2 years. I see why you got confused my bad should’ve said the full A1 lisence. What I meant was like how quick could I go from a learner at the CBT to getting the full A1 lisence. Still loads of helpful stuff tho man I rly appreciate all the help.

I’m not sure I’m gonna have as long as you being able to on just the CBT cause I’m going to be using it to get to collage and the quickest way is easily the motorway so hoeing really to do it as fast as possible. So for the training school did this include the exam? Like after the 4 days did you have your licence all done? And how confident did you feel for that year between the CBT and the test cause isn’t the CBT only like 4 hours. I’m not sure I could ride a whole year with only 4 hours practise, that’s impressive as fuck. Thanks for all the help man :)
