7,000 Miles Later: Was Learning To Ride Worth It?
Six months ago I passed my motorcycle test. Since then I've ridden over 7,000 miles in all weathers – around 2,000 miles on my Yamaha MT-125 and over 5,000 miles on my Triumph Bonneville T120. In this video I reflect on everything I've learned during my first six months of riding. The highs, the frustrations, the freedom, the confidence I've gained, the mistakes I've made and why learning to ride has genuinely changed my life. This isn't really a review of the Bonneville. It's a look back at a journey that has reminded me how much fun travelling can be. If you're thinking about learning to ride, have recently passed your test, or simply enjoy honest motorcycle stories, I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks so much for watching and for following the journey. Ride safe, Carl 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe #Motorcycle #TriumphBonneville #NewRider #HoopersStories
