BMW R65LS

Now in possession of both a motorcycle learner's permit and a second hand BMW R65LS, I am discovering the joy of motorcycle riding.

Whilst still very wary on the road it is amazing how connected one feels. 70 km/h on a bike is damn fast; in a car it feels slow. The acceleration is amazing, and this is not considered to be a fast bike. So far the experience is great but I am very aware of being so careful on the road.

The bike is great, sounds awesome and it is very stable. I also have a Dririder Nordic Pro jacket which seems great.
