I must be daft – on two fronts: car and motorbike – Page 2 – Chat Forum

So, last year I did my A motorbike test and I've been more and more obsessed with owning a dual sport type bike ever since. The obsession has finally got the better of my usually sound judgement... I have a Skoda Fabia VRS - it's only just coming up to 17 months old, though, and I'm actually planning to trade it in against a 2014 BMW F800GSA-T. Yes, of course I'm going to "lose money" on the Skoda. I guess that as it is already spent, though, it's not real money as such - I've really enjoyed the car so maybe I've got my moneys worth so to speak? Yes, it will mean I will ONLY have a motorbike, at least for the next year or two. How hard is that? I don't need to commute, being a freelance web developer, so journeys tend to be by choice. And I'm sure Waitrose can deliver... ;-) What obvious gotchas am I missing?? On a scale of very daft to extremely daft where am I?? Rachel

I'm sure many, many people will tell me everything that is wrong with this. It is, however, mine... 🙂

Not jealous at all......much.
Get some training on someone elses bike before you go off road though.
Oh and get extra training for the road if you are new to biking. I found my local IAMS group very good.
