She finally got one too!

So I’ve been badgering my sister to get a motorcycle for an age. She did her CBT back in December 2025 and picked the bike up 12th March.

My sister is now the proud owner of a Yamaha MT125 2022

Shes had the bike a little while now, so I have taken her out a good few times. We have done a run up to Peterborough, the May Day Run, and a general all day out riding day.

Shes picked it all up fairly quick. She just needs to learn to get up to speed quick now. Once she has managed to learn that, she shouldn’t really have any issues.

I’ve added a few photos I’ve taken. Enjoy.

Suns out bikes out

Yesterday was amazing. First time in a little while I’ve actually been out on my bike with no worries or issues. 179 miles in total!

Yesterday was the day that I decided that I need to get out and down to Broadoak Bakery. They do the most amazing Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls. Well worth going if you’re ever nearby, or not!

I picked up my munch and then headed up towards Tonbridge to grab me a Starbucks. As I pull up, I see in the distance a familiar face. In fact two familiar faces! My sister had gone out with her friend on their bikes, and a chap that I met while doing my day job. I said a quick hello to my sister and sat down to chat with the matey I met previously. He rides a gorgeous Harley Davidson Sportster S. I still need to figure this guys name out!

After sitting and chatting for a bit, I left everyone and headed over to Ashdown Forest. Annoyingly not really anywhere to park unless you want to pay! Wasn’t too keen on that if I’m honest, however I did manage to find myself a little lay-by. Parked up and just sat on the hillside overlooking the forest. Relishing in the sun. I sat probably around an hour. Taking it all in. Of course though, I had to grab a few photos.

When it was finally time to head home, I couldn’t simply go the quickest way. I headed down the A22 towards Polegate and stopped in the services for some “dinner”. An Asda meal deal from the petrol station! It filled the hole! After eating I took the long way home via Ashford! Straight across the south east coast. A27 – A259 – A2070 then back up toward Maidstone.

Obviously I had to stop to take some photos!
