SamXaviaI got to be pillion (passenger) on someones motorbike the other day. I loved my time so much, just itching to ride again, rather on there bike or getting my own bike.

I really need to get my own Biker gear, So far for gloves, jacket, leggings & boots. It will cost me close to £500 what is actually low end obviously.
The most expensive bit of gear I'm actually wanting to get costing £150 out of the £500 list of gear, actually might look at some gear that looks the same as these as would look really cool but also would protect me a lot better than cheapish (stylistic) normal (normal clothes) looking biker gear.
Going to slowly pay for the gloves and boots over the next few weeks. Boots might take a little longer.
Have had to switch out the gloves due to quality, but least I will be protected now
Sam Weston@sam Uh oh. It’s a fun hobby but not easy on the wallet. 😆 Look forward to the inevitable post about you getting your CBT and a little 125 in a few months. 😝
@cablespaghetti I'd love that, can't wait to find a 125 that is actually affordable after getting my CBT, just hope I can get all the gear sorted first
@sam You can get something second hand for sub-£500 that'll be fine. I might even be able to help with the fixing part if you do go down the borderline project bike route. This place is great for training/CBT https://www.assuredridertraining.com/
@cablespaghetti Thank you, yeah trying to find something that I don't need to spend a life time repairing but might be a cool project if it wasn't pricy to replace things.
Yeah this is the place I found for a CBT and hoping to go here when I have some of my protective gear (as I love riding Pillion atm)
