DO YOU NEED TO BE STRONG TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE?

Biking really is for anyone. Whether you’re strong or not, tall or short, younger or older, you can ride a motorcycle.

What you’ll need to do is employ a few basic techniques to enable you to handle a motorbike safely and confidently.

One tip he gives is to sit on a bike in a showroom, rather than just judge its seat height description. Many seats can now be adjusted, so that’s another reason to try before you buy.
