Why are you a biker?

[Dead Eye]

I started out at 18 with my first car and have had a few since but I do certainly have a need for speed - to which I should note that I try to respect the law, its about the twisties and acceleration rather than straight up top end. I also really enjoy fettling about with mechanics and engineering

My cousin has been in to bikes for a long time, mostly since he can't afford to get a drivers licence. He's had a few different small bikes over the years and eventually I ended up trying out one of his 140cc pit bikes on his parents farm. Was great fun and dove in at the deep end of two wheelers with clutch and gear action required straight away. In any case, I took it really well and loved the feeling (even after going over the handle-bars). Later that year I got my full licence after doing DAS and 4 days after passing bought my first Fazer.

I still love cars but the bike is a bit more involved and fiddling around with bits on the bike makes you feel that much more connected when you are out on the road
