It was on my bucket list to pass my bike test. I did my CBT, bought a 125 and did my DAS a few months ago. Another tick on my list of things to do before I die. I didn't, however, expect to get bitten by the bug but once I'd been on my own 2 wheels (I'd ridden pillion for years on my ex-husbands bike(s) without ever considering riding my own bike) I couldn't stop. Got divorced 7 years ago, wrote my bucket list 4 years ago and started working on it straight away.
I bought a Hornet and can't get out on it enough. :-*
