Gloves, Chicken Wings and Sports Bikes! 

Dream bike, think you've got it absolutely spot on, congratulations! I've been researching Thornton Hundred and Triumph Bobbers for a while and I'm interested that you've found them ok for a first "big bike". I had a 200cc scrambler many years ago which I lived on but I never did my test and always regretted it. After a health scare just over a year ago I thought, no more time to waste, so I did my CBT and theory test. And my son and I bought a Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 (small world!) to practice on (he passed in October on 750GS). We love the Husky which is also only 4 months old now, and I agree it's a perfect little fun bike to learn on. Fingers crossed for me in couple of weeks, then I'll be setting my sights on a Triumph Bobber but possibly a Street/Speed Twin (or similar) beforehand so your comments are valuable. Enjoyed your post, thanks!

Another great video Mr Goblin....have discovered your channel via Thornton Hundred. I really enjoyed hearing your general chit chat about the process you went through to get where you are now: riding a Triumph Bobber. This is my dream but I've never ridden a motorcycle. It sounds like you learnt to ride fairly recently too and pretty much did the CBT and then how long before you did the DAS? I don't really want to waste too much time (am 52!) mucking around on small bikes.... but then being completely inexperienced I thought I might do the CBT and then get a small Royal Enfield to chip around on until I can lose the L plates and do the DAS. Early days for me but am jealous (in a good way ) of where you are. I wish I was there !! Anyhow good luck, you sound like a nice articulate guy and you ride well and very sensible..... at 52 I don't feel any need for speed!!... I just want to to cruise at about 50mph and enjoy that freedom of getting out...seems like that's how you ride too. All the best. Btw love the matching helmet!

There is no better bike than a Thornton hundred. Love it 👍
