For anyone starting to ride motorcycles in their 30s (or maybe even later!) it’s ok to feel nervous/ daunted or anything else.
Riding a motorbike is tough- and my path was not smooth. Heck, I’m still walking the path- every day’s a school day!
Here’s the story of how (and why!) I started riding motorcycles in my 30s- and how it all went a little bit wrong!
I’d love to hear how you started riding, and what your first bike was- let me know in the comments 🙂

Kat has spent years touring the UK and Europe by motorcycle, car and motorhome. It was the idea of motorcycle touring which pushed her to go from nervous new biker to excited explorer and she still can’t believe some of the crazy mountain roads she’s ridden!
She has owned several motorbikes and currently rides a ZX1000, which is a fantastic touring bike. When not touring, you’ll find her scrolling Instagram for new road trip destinations, playing with her dog Mac or helping other bikers gain the confidence to have their own epic adventures.
Ride safe 🏍️
