My Harley-Davidson

My Harley-Davidson Breakout

I ordered my Harley-Davidson Breakout (a 2018 model, FXBR, 1745 cc) on 17 October 2017 and collected it on 11 December 2017.

A long wait for a motorbike

My wife was very much against me having a motorbike while we lived in the UK, before we moved to Korea in 2015. I also wanted to learn to fly after I retired, but a friend of mine was killed in a tragic accident during his pilot training, so there was no pilot licence for me. Once we were living in Korea she relented, and she agreed to the motorbike.

Getting my Korean motorcycle licence

I took my motorcycle licence in Korea while we were living in Yeosu. The theory course was only given in Korean, so I just had to attend the hours. The practical exam circuit was so tight that I let the bike fall over to one side and then accelerated into the corners, without touching the lines. I passed cum laude.
