Me too mate! lol! Modding my car is something that I can do now, it makes sense to do that rather than start another "long term" project in terms of learning to ride. As a car enthusiast my priorities are always going to be car first.
I know Kwik on here switched to a motorbike and now his interest in pugs and cars is totally gone lol, I don't want to end up like that!

I did the last old skool test!
I had a j1 zxr600, 110bhp. 0-60 in 3seconds if you could keep the front end down!
70 in 1st. 5gears remaining.
loved every second, even the times it went sideways in the wet.... and miss it a lot.
But unless you doing it for cheap commuting, in which case a decent 125 on a cbt will do the job, its an expensive hobby. If you have a lump sum up front, great, but if not, start saving.
Yeah...I might have to think about getting that overdraft paid off first :/ But if I would get a bike of was thinking of a nice all round bike but with attitude like those "naked" sports style bikes like a Honda Hornet or something. You know that have fat tyres but without fairings. I certainly don't want to ride for practicality reasons! That would just be a little bonus.
Edit: judging by your age you are only a couple of years older than me! lol! I take it you didn't go to uni then to afford to learn to ride and have a bike. I wish I didn't go to uni, got massive debt and now a part time postman is all I have to show for it lol.
