Newbie from Adelaide, Australia
Hi there
Have been hovering on the fringes for a while but decided to take the plunge and post
I haven't ridden a motorbike for since 1995 but I have this absolute determination to go on a guided m/bike tour somewhere in Oz later this year or early 2013. I blame McGregor and Boorman.
I don't own a m/bike and I'm not sure I want to buy one (I live in Adelaide where the car drivers are truly lethal). So I am doing a basic Ridersafe course next week to test my nerves about being on a bike again. Then the advanced one a bit later.
But.... every tour company I have seen on the web says that I need a lot of recent motorbiking experience to join one of their tours. So I am in a catch22 situation. I can't get the experience without getting a m/bike but I don't want to buy a m/bike - I just want to go on a tour.
What do you think? Is it suicidal of me to even attempt to ride a 600cc after so long on the sidelines, or am I being a complete wuss?
Cheers
