Thank you Michael 😊

Thank you Alex 😊 I'm on with the next episode, which I'm super excited about. Welcome aboard.

Thanks 👍

Welcome aboard!

Thank you Alan. I think I'm getting a bit better at the videos but it still takes me ages 😃

It's great to have you with me on the same journey. The video is over Haworth moors and the Yorkshire Dales. I'm almost ready to start the big adventure and will be putting out regular videos of the adventure.

The perfect day out Bob 🙂

Cheers Simon

Thank you

I passed mine in 1970, the whole process took roughly half an hour and cost fourteen shillings and sixpence I think..( about 72p) -(equivalent to about one days wages for a 16yr old)

Sounds like the perfect solution to me. I'd love to hear how you get on. 🙂

i did the Arncliffe-Malham road last week as a change from doing arncliffe-halton gill-settle, both are 2 of my fav routes. btw i've got a cb125f, i cant recommend them enough if you just want to take in the scenery, like i also used to do when i pedalled it back in the day. if you are a tad worried about getting used to the gears on a motorbike, what i would suggest is to do your CBT on an automatic, get the certificate, and then spend an hour or two in a car park practicing the gear changing, you will pick it up in no time. GL

@@Bob-ts2tu I wish I'd have gone for the geared bike on my CBT looking back but I just needed easy transport for work. I asked at the Training Centre when I did my CBT if they did lessons from auto to geared and they said yes. They probably let you mess around in the test centre for a bit then take you out on the road, just got to find out how much it costs.

@@Jabular1 i know where you are coming from, but I'd honestly not pay £20-£30ph for geared bike lessons, watch some you tube vids and take a geared bike out early one morning when there's nothing on the road and just go for it, you will be amazed how quick you get the hang of it, as the fact of the matter is it's just practice. The first time i rode my bike on the road i set off at 5.30am sat morning when it was quiet, heading to a supermarket car park, but as i got there id already changed gear many times without too much issue, wasn't exactly limping it, so rode straight past and did about 60 miles on some quiet lanes. while i was still no way perfect, (and still aint) i was reasonably confident when i got home, and now it's like changing gears in the car, you dont think about it. the honda has a light clutch & a pretty positive gearbox, it's about as easy as it's going to get. one thing i did have initial trouble with was hill starts, but again it's just practice, the important thing is road sense. GL

Thanks Marcus. Take a look at my "Homeless" video to find out 😀

I wanted to do a separate video about my new bike choice, but too much was happening and I'm still learning to edit videos so it takes me ages. The big reveal is in my last video "Homeless". And you're right, I stuck with Honda.

A good guess 🙂 Keep watching to find out if you're right 👍

@@projectmidlifecrisis I can't wait mate!

I sure do wish I'd done it earlier, but I got there in the end 😁

@@projectmidlifecrisis first bike Royal Enfield 700cc Constellation. past test first time I was 16 at the time 19 motor bikes later, now packing it in as the roads down here in the south are so crowded lots say they can drive most are a nightmare. and at 85 I will retire from biking. only the other day a older lady shot out from a side road, she was of small stature looking through the steering wheel looked like the steering wheel had a wig on. many are on phones, chomping food steering with there knees. and also if my 1300cc fell over in a layby would be a job to pick it up. so bless all you bikers stay safe never ever take your eyes off the road. Briddy UK.

19 bikes later. That's just amazing. I'm so jealous. Yes, I don't like riding in the city at all. It feels like I'm risking my health/life and no fun. I'll be sticking to the quiet roads/tracks as much as possible.

Hi, trade in is terrible because they need to profit on it. Best to sell it privately. However, I have actually decided to keep it 😁

For me, 60mph was flat out with a stiff breeze behind you. It was very comfortable at 50mph.

Good guess. All is revealed in the "Homeless" video. Happy viewing

@@projectmidlifecrisis It's a pity you couldn't keep the 125 as a back up or for when the weather gets bad in winter etc.

Well you're spot on. I decided to keep it for when I'm back in the area needing transport. At 168mpg why not? It's tucked away in my storage waiting for me 😀

Hi, I wanted to do a dedicated reveal video but things got busy, so the new bike is revealed in my Homeless video.

@@projectmidlifecrisis Yes, I caught it after this video. Lovely. I had a CRF250 and travelled all around the South of America over a year. Amazing machines. Hope you get her dirty soon, they are made to see the world away from tarmac.

Wow! That sounds like an epic adventure 😃
