Five things I've learned from riding a 32-year-old...
Kickstarting a bike from the centre stand is easier than kickstarting it from the seat. Although neither are simple and both are physically exhausting.
Brakes on modern bikes are much better at stopping you.
Helmets should never be placed on the end of your handlebars. “That’s only for Japanese bikes!” according to my uncle’s Triumph-loving friend, Billy.

At the start of 2009, at a family party I was speaking to my uncle about his many motorbikes, and the fact that I should really get my licence - my dad, uncles and grandfather all rode motorcycles. He mentioned a trip to the Bonneville Celebration in August and said, “if you get your licence, I’ll give you a classic ‘Bonny’ to ride down on.”
Say no more.
