I love your riding philosophy, and i agree with it. Im looking to start but im not in anyway a speed demon nor in a rush to get up to faster speeds. Progressive improvments, safe and relaxed riding in the open air. Great video, its assuring to pursue riding what you want to ride, and follow your gut to how you ride. Cheers!

Thanks for the great advice! I live in Canada and at the moment Im preparing for the first knowledge test. Eyeing a Yamaha V Star 250 as the starter bike. Where did you film the video? The area looked very scenic, especially the pretty pretty pretty ending.

My gear was the first thing I purchased, everything more then the bike did. I researched the lighter models and came across a honda cbr125. It's lightweight, not overly quick. With the money spent $5,000 at most.

You’ll be alright .. the bike only goes as fast as you turn the throttle.. the thing is the more you ride the more relaxed and confident you become and that’s when you make mistakes

Your motorcycle output is good enough that you may actually consider a separate channel for Porsche? In other words, those that like motorcycles and Porsche would follow your Porsche page but a lot of the Porsche people may not want to receive motorcycle stuff and instead would prefer just Porsche. Just something to consider.

I made the mistake of waiting too long to create consistent car content. That said, at this stage of the game, I've invested too much time into this channel and there are a ton of people like myself who enjoy 2 and 4 wheels. Channel is evolving, lets see what happens. Thanks for your input though 👍

I learnt the basics on a honda XL125R and then was gifted a R3 by my husband a year after an accident on a bike as a pillion broke my pelvis. I have now been riding for a year and and glad about the 321cc engine. It has ebough power for what I need to do and bugger what the pack decides, they will go with my able speed or they are no brethren. When I do upgrade, which won't be fast, I want a NC 750.
