Started my biking career on a battered old Honda C50 way back in 1986, ran it for 2 years cos I couldn't afford anything else.
Bought a CB100N from my brother, ran it for 6 months on and off, the feccing thing was in bits in the shed more than it was on the road. one of my mates lent me his CB125 twin for 6 months while he waited for his licence back from the DVLA (drink driving and trying to ram a cop car off the road. lol.)
Managed to save enough for a car and got married, SWMBO would not let me get a bike again cos one of her best mates was killed after falling off pillion.
Bro in law passed his big bike test in 2009 and bought a Bandit, (having never owned a bike in his life) wife bought me my CBT for my 40th birthday, (big surprise for me) did cbt on a 125 Suzuki, bought my FZ6 the following week and sat my mod1 and mod2 on a CBF500 a week apart, passed both with no minors.

If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.
