Motorbiking

Yesterday was the first day I rode a motorbike - on my own. Yeah. Because I’m old enough to do so and because if I don’t do it at this stage, I’ll have to wait until next year. Holidays are a great time to do stuff (and to plan stuff that you end up not doing).

Fortunately I live in a church area that has enough space to ride around, and a locked front gate at night which minimizes the amount of people watching (not like anyone cares anyway).

It was weird. Sort of like riding bicycles, except a motorbike is much bigger and heavier. As if there wasn’t much control over the motorbike, gliding off into the distance…

In the end, it was hot. Because of the helmet and the ‘armour’ I had to wear (courtesies of a mother). But it’s great. Learning to drive. A little scary, but worth it in the end. (Unless you die within the first few days of learning, which I hope doesn’t happen…)
