I've been riding a motorbike for over 2 years and (fingers crossed, touch wood and grab a rabbit's foot) still accident free.

I got my motorbike license in 1998 through a Direct Access course.

What's a Direct Access course?
Basically when you are 21 you can do a single motor bike test rather than having to go through a test at 17 and be restricted to 25kW for 2 years, you can theoretically ride any motor cycle after doing this test insurance permitting ;-)

Most Direct Access courses offer a 'Pass Guarantee' for a small extra fee (£50 or so) which is worth doing if you've got any doubts, I needed it as I passed 2nd time :-)

I have been riding a Kawasaki ER5 for these 2 years and even though I would like something a bit faster (don't we all !!) it gets me from A to B ok and it's been to the Isle of Man and will probably visit europe before the year is out.

My ideal next bike would be a VFR or a SV I will just have to win the lottery first!
