I’m a new rider from Balham/Streatham area. I did my CBT in April after moving back to London in February and sold my car.
Had been driving for 11 years and loving the switch to two wheels so far. I ride a Honda SH mode 125 scooter. And it’s actually my second bike since April. The first I had was a cheap, old one with so much wrong with it so I returned it and got something decent, new and safer to ride instead.
Anyway, wanted to say hi to you all. I don’t know many other bikers here being a newbie in every sense of the word so I’m looking forward to reading and hopefully learning from your experiences and getting some good tips on safe riding around the city.
Haha. Thanks everyone. Definitely want to get a manual bike eventually. I’ll do a gear conversion course as they only had automatics available at the time of my CBT.
Think I’m the one of the most overdressed scooter riders I’ve seen on the roads so far. Everyone else is in shirts, tshirts and brain catchers.
