One of the best things about having a motorcycle is that you can become involved in the wider biking community. Contrary to popular belief the motorcycle world is a family-orientated group which is focussed on changing the way non-bikers feel about motorcycles in general. Through tour companies, hire businesses and clubs the biking community in the UK makes an impact by fund-raising, undergoing charity runs and going on tours all over the world.

If you want to get into bikes at an early age the best thing to do is to start at 16 with a moped to get used to a bike and driving on the roads and then work your way up as you get older. Have a look at these stylish 50cc Mopeds. The site offers a large range to choose from all at varying prices.

Within Cornwall itself there are several important businesses and clubs which welcome new custom and members. Tour companies such as Chunky Monkey Motorcycle Tours and motorbike hire companies such as Cornwall Motorcycle Hire open the region up to tourism. In both instances, unless you are planning to be a pillion passenger, you will need to have a full Category A motorcycle licence held for two or more years (or have completed the accelerated access test and have the certificate). Most companies also require that you are over the age of 21 to hire and have no more than six penalty points on your licence and no major convictions.

Interested in passing your moped or motorbike tests try CBT Cornwall for bookings.
