Bit Behind...

I've always wanted to create my own blogs - I spend hours reading other's and watching their vlogs but I've never had anything interesting to talk about myself. I hope this all goes well and I carry on 'blogging' until I'm a fully fledged biker! Currently, I'm still learning; so I'll use this blog to track my progress and hopefully help others who are in the position I was once in.

My name is Russell and I'm a 20 year old student,

Recently, I decided I'd take up motorbiking...

As soon as there was a mode of transport available to me, I learned how to use it. I've cycled since I can remember, I've driven go-karts, quad bikes and a load of different cars. But whenever I saw a bike ride past  as a kid, it slowly added to my excitement of one day getting my own. During my teens, bikes became a bigger picture, my dad bought a Moto Guzzi  Nevada 750 and would let me ride pillion during the summer months. Towards the end of my school life, a few classmates were getting 125ccs and I was instantly put off as I couldn't stand the noise they made, realising if I wanted a good one, I'd have to wait till I was older.

Over the next few years, I went to University and bikes came back into my life again. It wasn't a rare occurrence to find a student with a bike, which is surprising considering the 'pennyless' stereotype associated with most students. I had my 20th birthday coming up and with 2 years car driving experience, I believed I was a mature enough lad to give biking a go.

The only experience I'd had before learning was in my old work car park, where I embarrassingly fell off a 500cc whilst cornering too slowly.

Currently, I've just passed my MOD1, so I'll go over how I've gotten through everything so far!
