    Default Any motorcyclists out there?

    I'm just starting to learn how to ride and was wondering if there any any motorbike riders/ owners on here? I'd love to see some bikes if there's any other riders. I'm yet to buy a bike but keen to see what everyone rides.

    I'm considering it for when I finish uni (finally) in a few years because it's easier to find parking for them in the city + I'd imagine it'd be a quicker commute.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Only if you weave between cars like a fool.

    This is something that I have been wanting to do for some time. Driving the car to the train station every morning can be rather cumbersome.

    ive got my licence, dont have a bike at the moment though. But this is what I did have



    In my opinion you dont need to duck and weave through traffic for quicker commute as when doing this through traffic can be very nerve racking for a beginner.
    However all that you need to do for a quicker commute is get to the start of the lights when traffic is at a red light.
    Which is easy when all the traffic is stopped, i usually just rode past everyone on the left hand side and its even easier when there is a bike lane which you are legally allowed to use for up to 50 metres.

    You have to also remember that the commute maybe shorter but you spend a bit longer gearing up before every ride and then taking it off again.
