    I’m not sure on your mental health condition. But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from getting my big bike licence. Its done wonders for me.

    And a little tip for you. Get really good gear. Even if you don’t think you’ll come off or if youre only going lut for half an hour. Anything can happen. And good gear, so jacket, trousers, gloves, helmet and boots can be the major difference between a few broken bones and agonising death/amputated limbs.

    Oh and filtering ear plugs. I got some the other week and they’ve been a live saver. I can still hear my music perfectly fine. But they protect your hearing from the constant sound of the engine and all the wind.

    Be safe out there, brother.

      I’ve already gotten a helmet so far and I’m looking at other gear. What brands and price ranges would you recommend for someone on a budget (I’m paying ~$2000 for my first motorcycle)?
