Hey guys and girls, Im getting really tempted to get myself a motor bike, not sure wether to go direct access or the normal route. Do any other bockers on here ride? And If so what do you have? 
I have a Yammy Fazer 600 S2...Been riding motorbikes since I was 15....24 years later and I've still not grown out of them....I'm busted up plenty from getting off the ride while it's still going and lost too many friends already,so,consider this...If you carry a pillion, it's not just your life in your hands,they ALWAYS come off worse. Like any good Bocker,buy the best protective equipment you can afford....Sliding on Tarmac at high speed seems to have a somewhat detrimental effect on human flesh/bone in that it removes at the very least a centimeter for every 100 meters you slide....CBT(Compulsory Basic Training is a legal requirement in Jersey) may well just save your life one day, when they ask you what a "life saver" is, it's a quick look over your shoulder before you overtake or turn at a junction. Get to know your machine, how it works and why it does what it does.Basic maintenance know how is also a requirement as is the highway code...They'll ask you questions about this. As long as you let your common sense prevail, you'll be as safe as you can be on a motorcycle....Trust me, it's a life on a very jagged edge when you're doing 90,boxed in by those tired pilots in their customised metal coffins.....I'm not trying to put anyone off,to me, bikes are the most fun anyone can have with their clothes on,but humans were'nt made to cope with what happens when it goes tits up....The coffin pilots have a metal box around them..... Even with all the leather and armour,a biker is as naked as a streaker at a cricket match....Still wanna ride? Can't say I blame ya....Just grow eyes in your ass and go careful OK?
