Re: Unleash dem horsies!
I was nervous about the motorway first time, but I chose a quiet time and then went for a trip down the M5 by one junction. Did me a lot of good and as a first time experience I enjoyed it. These days I hate motorway riding, seems like such a waste when the SV is so nimble and enjoyable on fast A and B roads.
As for a first long ride, I wanted to see my Mum, so my first long trip was 100 miles, however my brother wanted a lift so my long ride was also my first with a pillion. That was some trip and taught me a lot about riding the bike.
If I am honest though, I struggle with long trips due to poor bike fitness. I start to ache after about 100 miles and really hurt by 200! People riding 300 or more miles in a day amaze me!
