Hi, I’m Julie from the hectic Athens. My obsession with motorcycles started in summer of ‘24 and so my plan began then on getting my license and saving for my 1st bike. I discovered that my mom was riding a bike when she was super young for a brief period of time and so that’s where I got that nudge for bikes from. So I got even more excited! Next summer comes and I pass my theory exam and then I finally can start my riding lessons. At September I got my A license and now I could start researching for what kind of a bike I wanted. As I took my exam on a cb600 Hornet of ‘07 I really liked that type of retro naked and a bit aggressive position bike. At first I decided on a Suzuki SV650 (I know it may be a lot for a 1st bike but I knew I could handle it since I have my brain inside my head as I’m almost 30) but I’d was difficult to find a good deal and new ones weren’t to be found as it discontinued. So I looked into the CB750 Hornet and that was it. I finally got it 2 weeks ago! I’m super stoked about what is to come and also that I’ll have the best possible riding foundation with the help of this crew. All this time I was, and am and will be watching dans videos and other tips tricks and lessons. I want to be good at this as I want to be safe! Thank you for having me and sorry for the long text 😅

Hi, sorry for my english in advance! i just got my bike like a week ago (have my licence from september of last year) and started doing small and big block circles around my neighbourhood (i live in a very crowded city). Any kind of open parking lot is a bit far away from me so that's why i firstly wanted to get used to the bike and the traffic a little bit. But on this weekend i intend to go there and practice acceleration, brake and turns to get to know the bike better. I noticed that i grip the throttle too much. As soon as i did, i payed attention to how i place my hands on the handlebars and if i am relaxed as i ride or not and i corrected what needed. But still i grip it too much as i try to keep the throtle steady or to control it. Is this something that goes away with time or should i practice something specific? Thanks!
