Jung-
That’s a lot of first bike!
Yeah, that was what I said, and I was pretty sceptical about the idea. But Geoff has seen me ride a biek bike, and been in a small fast silly car with me driving, and has watched me race. He reckons I can control my inner idiot sufficiently to not end up as roadkill within a week of getting it.
I'm pretty old, boring and sensible these days. The instructor today asked me what had inspired me to ride a motorbike for the first time at my relatively advanced age, and I explained it was basically my second attempt at a midlife crisis. My first go involved merely buying a black Porsche, so was a bit half-hearted.
Anyway, I'm single, no kids, no dependents, and the mortgage is paid off. Might as well live a little.

Cheers. Current plan is to go straight to Direct Access, possibly in May, get a full licence and get a Street Triple 765R. My motorbike guru Geoff says that's a good plan. Whether he's right or not remains to be seen.
