Let's Bike It With The GS - 4. Getting prepared and pass my Motorcycle driven license exam!

 Hi Internet, I posted my Article 1,2 and 3 already so if you did not read them yet, I encourage you to do so ! :) So, continuing on my story, I was dreaming quiet often, almost every night that I was driving with a big motorbike after I test drove the T-Max I mentioned in my Article #3! Till a day came up when I decided to pass the motorcycle theoretical exam. Bear in mind Internet: I did not study anything related to the theory at all! I just said to myself  "it should be all okay since I still know how the on- road's rules work". So I went directly to pass the theory exam at the office center based in Brussels! Once I arrived there, I gave my personal ID to the office employee to register so I can take place to proceed further. I got then a seat and a PC I used to pass the exam, and when it started, I had to answer to 50 theoretical questions.

Let's Bike It With The GS - 3. A big change is coming without I could expect it - Talking with Bikers' Community and discovering bigger bikes

 Hi Internet, I hope you enjoyed reading my Article 1 and 2 but if you didn't read them yet, please do so ;) In this article you're going to discover what big things were about to happen without I could expect them at all! So after I could ride with my scooter Kimco Dink Sreet, a 125cc in a mono cylinder engine, I used to get more bikers friends around me. One day, it was about 4 months after I purchased my scooter, a biker's friend who was more experienced than me showed me his new motorcycle: The Kawasaki Versys 600cc. when I saw it, it looked like an airplane because I could not understand how to ride with it. Remember that I was riding with a scooter (first experience) since 4 months only that doesn't have a clutch for instance, and the way you drive a motorcycle is quiet different than a scooter like mine. So my friend and I were discussing and at a moment he just told me "You know Hamza, it's cool that you discovered the world of bikers, but believe me, t...

Let's Bike It With The GS - 2. Discovering the world with a 2 wheels bike on my scooter: what a journey of 6 months!

 Hi Internet, In my previous Article entitled "Let's Bike It With The GS - 1. Introduction", I presented myself about who I am and what impacts happened and made me deciding to discovering the world of bikers. If you haven't yet read this Article, I encourage you to read it so you can get familiar with it :) To be continuing on my story, I bold my new scooter in 2015 from the motorcycle dealer in the city of Brussels. As I never experienced it, neither I did ride with a bike in my life, I just said in my mind "look Hamza, you did great things in your life, but there are more to come, and this one is just one of them". So I rode with my bike from the motorcycle dealer to my house and while riding, I found out one main problem I really got stuck on: when riding and trying to slow down using the brake, my right hand was still on the throttle and guess what... the bike was but keeping riding ahead without slowing down or even stopping like it was supposed to be!...
