- Well, today's ride was WINDY - glad I chose to stay around town and not venture out. I got a nod from a motorbiker and it got me thinking (after I got excited about it!), if you've passed your test, do you nod learners?!
Drop a comment on what you think about the CB125F and if you've got one yourself!
Trying to get a new video out once a week, Tuesday 6pm seems my current uploading schedule, but this could change! Would love to upload twice a week 😁.
Follow along as I go from Beginner Rider passing my CBT to getting that full bike license! Videos in between will be me getting more confident on the bike and getting out to explore my local area.

I always Nod at learners, they need the encouragement to feel they are part of a family and that being on 2 wheels is more than just a way to get from A to B
I 100% agree! It certainly made me feel part of the 2 wheeled family getting that nod!
@@LeonsVlogsx unfortunately there will always be those who believe they are better than others, but you just ignore them and maintain your own higher moral and social standards.
After all all of us have been learners at some point in our lives
i'm taking riding lessons and last lesson a bunch of motorcyclists rode by. noticed they were waving so i waved back. brought a smile to my face 😊
I nod at everyone on two wheels including Learners and Scooters. Why not, they’re all doing what I’m doing
I "nod" to all, as in doing so, I feel it encourages others who do not know about it or who do not. Wishing you well and safe journeys.
Thanks Dave, you too! It's a nice thing as a learner to receive the same treatment as a non learner!
I learnt on and own a CB125F. Great bike, comfortable, and easy to ride. I now also own a MT-09.
I acknowledge all bikers. All here to have fun and enjoy the experience.
Nice ride out and your camera is very clear, I always acknowledge every motorcycle. Don't always get the nod back but sometimes others are concentrating. No offence taken if they don't, and sometimes I miss the odd nod back also. Great channel keep on going, Ride your own style thats comfortable to you and your happy with and you learn every day. 40yrs riding and I'm still learning every day. Cheers
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the positive feedback, really means a lot! Everyday is a school day as they say :)
I wave at anyone on two wheels. They take the same risks as us and acknowledging that i feel makes some people's days just a lil better.
I always nod, I passed my test at 50 in 2018 after years of off-roading, it was always nice when an experienced rider gave me a nod or just acknowledged me with a thumbs up on my ktm duke 125, it’s something I do now👍
I nod at every biker! It was much more common when I first started riding in 2006, less common now. It's all about the diagonal head twist nod so people can really tell!
I'll keep that in mind for the next encounter.. see how well it goes!
I took my CBT in December and bought myself a wee 125 to learn on. I have the helmet, gloves and boots but can't afford full kit so riding in track bottoms and a down jacket. I'm only getting the odd nod now, to which I enthusiastically wave back. But I'm going through the lessons now, slowly buying the rest of the kit and hopefully a bigger bike this summer. And once on a full licence, man - I'm gonna nod and greet every one of you, learner or not. This is a great community and very proud to be part of it 😊
Owning a motorbike is an interesting experience. I only passed my CBT weekend just past (bought a cheap 2016 ybr125). Been working on it by roadside and the amount of peeps that stop to chat is amazing.
Considering I've lived in this city for over a decade, I've never had so many random chats in a few days!
Great vid, by the way!
I've got one of the Marvel matt blue 2024 CB125F's. I love it to bits. It looks great. I'm also about 100 miles away from the bike's 1st service, so I'm looking forward to your next vids greatly. In terms of the less-than-kind comment about your riding, ignore the haters. It seems to me that real bikers seem to be happy to encourage new riders and offer friendly advice on the whole.
Been riding all winter and every biker I came across nodded….mutual respect for braving the winter roads. This weekend too many summer riders ignoring me…..boiled my pi$$ 🤬😂🤣
That cb125f is a damned fine looking bike. It says something when a full licence holder like me is looking out for one. No way would I disdain anyone with Ls. How could I? They've passed an exam (CBT) which is no easier than the silly 2 part test I took in the 80s.
Thanks! I think it's a lovely beginner's bike. I applaud anyone who wants to get a motorbike and learn to ride one.. because it's not easy as I've found out!
I'm on L plates since last June.(I'm late to the party, in my very late 40's) I watched loads of videos to get tips on position and slow manoeuvres and have only recently started big bike lessons. You've probably already heard it from elsewhere but it is so much easier on a bigger bike, even going slowly. I'm taking lessons on an MT07 and it's actually less stressful than being on a 125cc 😂
I always nod, though there's different variations of the nod, must be some advanced know-how going on 😅 Some reciprocate some don't, but if there's an oncoming convoy of bikers, it's hard to nod back to each and everyone 😂
Never too old to learn Lee! Every day is a school day 😁 I'm looking forward to getting my first "big bike" lesson done and seeing how I manage!
Hahahahaha I can't help but picture it now the constant nodding
same here. same age. wish I did it years ago - but it's never too late!
Such a great feeling zooming about on two wheels.
I love the look of the new cb125f and will definitely tune into that video. I think blue looks amazing on the model. Another great video mate.
Thanks so much mate, appreciate it! I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing one in person so it should make for a good video!
@LeonsVlogsx I'll be sure watch it!
Only been riding for a bit. Try and nod to all that I pass , even learners. Apart from those on mopeds. If I am stable and there are no dangers I will even give a little left hand salute.
Yeah that seems like the thing to do, as mopeds are normally delivery riders/16 year olds!
When I was learning I got loads of nods, especially when I was on the MT07. Really gave me a giddy feeling of accomplishment and encouragement. I now have the full license and an XJ6N. I love it.
Yes, always.
i always nod & acknowledge everyone from learners to motorists who show courtesy, just like i say 'mornin' when cycling, and in both cases you only get a response maybe 80% of the time, but if someone doesn't nod back, it won't stop me doing it to the next rider i see as maybe some just don't know it's 'the thing to do', are too busy concentrating, and id like to think it's only in a minority of cases they are plain ignorant. As far as L plates go, it makes no difference, we've all been there, and good to see the next generation coming through, but i don't nod to the kids you see 2-up on a bike with no reg. plate wearing balaclava's, although one did wave to me the other day lol. GL
Thanks, Bob! I agree, it's definitely nice to see people nodding/appreciating someone with L plates. I definitely wouldn't be acknowledging balaclavered-up youths either.. seen too many videos on TH-cam to want to engage!
Only had my full licence since last September I ensure to nod to all bikers including learners, would not allow that person's comment put you off you learning best thing to do is keep riding get with a school and listen to their feedback and not someone who possibly not qualified or possibly even skilled enough to comment. Even when passed test everyday should be a learning day - also recently completed a bike safe course through police really good and there is other advanced training out there, good luck with your journey 👍
Oh it hasn't got to me at all, just thought i'd bring it up as I'm open to criticism.. just positive ones and not degrading ones hahaha!
I took the Scooter to the supermarket to get Cat food this morning... (that sounds sad, but it was all I needed to take, and the Cat food fits under the seat perfectly) I thought about lane splitting at one particular intersection, but it would have put me in a risky position, so I waited... and a Guy on a Adventure bike decided he would do it anyway, but as he passed me, he paused, gave me a nod and carried on. Little did he know, I would normally do the same, but on a slow little moped, I'm waiting for a bigger gap in traffic thanks.
I have actually noticed that when it appears that you are a learner, people give you more respect. even car drivers give you more room when they see the stupid yellow L plate on the back of the bike... I may joke about it, But I think having an L plate is a great Idea even when you no longer need it. other road users are wary of you because you might be inexperienced. Hahaha Don't tell them please, the extra large safety bubble is Awesome!
When i first passed my CBT no one told me about any signals from other riders, I was rather confused when nearly every other biker I passed gave me a nod and I kept panicking thinking some timing is wrong with my bike….quick google search solved the issue towards the end of the day 😅 I personally always nod!
I Nod at everybody....even SCOOTERS....😂😂😂😂😂❤
As an older rider of nearly 45yrs of continuing riding, I have always nodded to every other rider i come across.
This includes scooters and learners, i have even nodded to my own reflection in shop windows 🤣
Unfortunately this seems to be something that i see less of now. As for the pot holes every where, what a nightmare, however they will assist you in your hazard aviodance skills and forward observation. Goodluck and be safe!
I got a few nods when I was a learner. only but two weeks ago since Ive passed my tests, I think I will nod at them. Made me feel part of the club and will pass on that feeling to learners
I started riding my Blue cb125f in January when we had +5c. After we had constant +10c, i had to get rid of the thermal layer. Im ok in the rain, scared of the high winds but working on it. 😊 16 miles to work on open road A38, can be windy in places. 😂
I wave to basicly everyone when my hands are free. Appreciate each other whenever we can.
3:03 Eagle Eyes are nice. They are very thin and flexible, but expensive. Alternatively you can get lens wipes that are anti fog and those are great too.
Hell Lad! They want another notch on that day! Blimey!!!
Im at the same stage as you, did my cbt in September last year and been driving a scooter around . Having my new bike delivered today , didn’t want spend a fortune so bought a new Sinnis gpx I think that will do me for a year and then go for my actual license and buy a bigger bike this time next year
I nod at learners ..... but I also pass on the correct side of mini-roundabouts and not doing so is a definite test failure. 😲
Richard
Yes I nod learner riders, except delivery riders on scooters, as they would think I was nuts.
This cracked me up hahaha
I've never really had issues with others acknowledging but you will get a few ignorant/arrogant ones who refuse to say hello but that's life.
Take your time,relax on the bike and you'll get there.
Appreciate the kind words! I agree, you're always going to get those people that don't do it back/refuse, but hey it doesn't bother me!
I know been riding for 45 yrs+ , so many just ignore my wave as i go past .
Never used to be like that , used too get a wave and a quick flash of the lights in the 70s-90s , not anymore too many sunday rich bikers around now .Wobbling around on their super bikes , not a clue .
The biker community has slowly gone .
@gazzertrn idk, I think the community is still there. I've just started riding and got my full license. I've never felt more welcomed into a community and everyone is friendly. Sometimes I'm too busy concentrating to nod back as I'm still fairly new, but I can imagine it's a community thats got a bit saturated by those who aren't so much in it for the riding and just have the ego
In New Zealand we have the MTA, Motor Trade assured thing. So even though I can take my bike to work and do the service myself (despite being a Car mechanic not a motorcycle Mechanic) I can write myself an invoice etc for what I did, and be the warrantee is still Valid.
Something I would be interested to see, is the slight culture differences between countries, Like the difference in how someone on a smaller adventure bike like the Sizuki V-Strom 250 SX is treated/ accepted by the sport bike riders.
I’ve always acknowledged other riders. , and where I live we get visited by lots of hair dryers on two wheels this time of year , they don’t usually nod back etc , because there going to slow 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha hair dryers on two wheels
Heres a nod and a wave from a very old biker .👍
Wave too all bikes , learners or what ever . The more you ride the more you learn .
BTW im 64 , been riding since 16 . 2007Kawasaki z1000 . getting on but still a great bike .
Not many people teach the tradition of nodding at one another so I always nod at learners.
people with full licenses seem to forget that they were once a learner
Put rainex on the sun visor...works a treat.... promise.😊
Nice ride.
I've been riding for over 35 years, and I always acknowledge other riders, on motorcycles. Not so much moped / scooter riders as they don't generally do the same.
But for getting responses, BMW GS, and Harley Davidson riders, normally don't respond. But its all cool.
Yeah I find the scooter/delivery riders don't really bother.. they're too bust zooming around town to make deliveries haha!
I love painting sheds .....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've been riding about 3 months now and over the weekend I was out and just as I was pulling in to a petrol station I was blown of my bike luckily I wasn't injured but bike is going to cost me £250 for parts and repairs it needs I'm lucky it didn't happen earlier because 15 minutes prior I was on my first duel carage way and was my first time doing 50mph
Wow Phil! Glad to hear you're okay, the wind was horrible that weekend, that's why I decided to stay around town. Sorry to hear about the damaged bike, but glad it didn't happen when you were going 50mph!!
If your on a motorbike I nod except.. delivery divs
Got my full licence just over a month ago, always give other bikers the nod. Stopped giving scooters the nod though as they never nod back!
so thats how it works while driving on the left.
You will fail your test if you persist to cut across mini roundabouts. Other than that, good ride. I always give a nod, but not to delivery riders. Good luck.
Always nod to other bikers but not all nod back nowadays
Nod at all riders out out in the open roads, obviously not going through Matlock Bath on a Sunday afternoon when there’s hundreds of bikes
Of course. If I nod at other riders it would be quite arrogant of me not to nod at learners. Strange question really.
Not a strange question at all. Some people don't acknowledge learners!
@odd1363 Not that strange bud, some people are right snobby wa**ers. A lot don't nod learners which is a shame, because we all have to start somewhere and we were "all" learners once. I have 3 beasts and my daily is my Honda cub and when I'm on that, so many people don't return my nod and I have no L plates but, it's just because of what I'm riding. I nod to all, two wheels are two wheels. It doesn't matter if someone is riding a 4hp ped or a 100hp mean machine........... They're riding. ✌️
I usually just flip em off...
I always nod to all riders, common decency at end of the day
Doesn't cost anything hey!
Normally bikers nod to each when on the road , unless it’s a BMW rider they normally just ignore you !
If you are on 2 wheels, you get a wave or nod from me, and I ride a Harley, so I am breaking the 'rules' for sure. Even Uber Eats riders (in the hope that the shock will cause them to fall off their bike?).
I just got my CBT and im on a automatic scooter, bearing in mind its a maxi. Thats my fear that im going to be in that "deliveroo rider" even though i plan to go do my mods next year.
I parked my ninja up tonight and came out of the shop to find a lad on a scooter parked next to mine,we had a canny chat.Why should what someone rides make any difference to common decency.Unless they're those fast food delivery lot who think they're immune to everything.
Nothing wrong with a scooter at all mate! It's the delivery riders that you can tell are delivery riders that don't nod/acknowledge other riders. All you can do is ride, enjoy yourself and nod! Not everyone is going to nod back and I definitely don't expect people to nod back to me when I do it!
50 years riding bikes yes I do noddy nod to learner bikers except for fast food delivery riders who are a nuisance on our roads.
Hi alway nod or left land wave if overtaking have for 45 years and always will always stop for a biker in trouble it what sets us apart niver loose ti ride hard stay free
Some nod Some don't and I've been riding 50 years 😮you will always need to ride defensive cause of others driving or riding my 1st service b4 Easter on my cbf 125 was free nice vids by the way 😊
11:23 That guy is just a jerk. Learner or not, we could all use some extra training, but saying your riding is rubbish is very rude and not constructive in the slightest. Best to ignore it
The myth that Harley riders is not true in my case I nod at anyone on a bike scooter learner if you ride for me you deserve a nod
I've only been through DAS a few years back, and still remember the feeling of being part of something when I got a nod from a rider while on my CBT.
I won't acknowledge the sports direct clad yoofs or scooters, but if you're on a geared 125, with sensible kit and riding intelligently then you're part of the club as far as I'm concerned.
Nice content , good footage and sound quality.
Learners: Yes
Moped delivery riders with L-plates: Hell no.
Silly question possibly, are you in the same area as the Tiptoe Bikers? you can guess where I'm headed with that question.
I nod or wave to all riders, Learners, scooters/moped, even the a-hole Harley riders who give you the middle finger back or just ignore you.
Riding position is a Gray area...on the roads anyway... distortion's on the road,pot holes un even repairs....if your on a track position is highly important...so don't mind what that idiot said... probably can't even ride a bike....or knows very little...you do you ...😊
I wave at EVERYONE, especially pedestrians. Just to weird ppl out.
who cares who nods or waves, who cares if your on a geared bike or on a twist and go. Just enjoy the 2 wheel experience people, young or old.
I completely agree! It's just something that sprung into my mind when I got nodded at, thought it would make a great topic to discuss and that's definitely what it's done!
Learner motorbikes yes , mopeds no
Personally I HATE the rider nod, but I'll nod back if I get a nod first, because I'm not actually an a$$hole
I did my own take on this, too th-cam.com/video/E0JbsLc0tfA/w-d-xo.html
It's not everyone's cup of tea, Nick! But atleast you nod back if you get nodded first! I'll give it a watch 😁
.
Apologies for not nodding, as from this weekend I will not acknowledge another rider(except fellow L players)🫡 ……stuck up fair weather bikers with an annual 500 miles under their tachometer think they’re better than me ….I’ve done 3k on a CBF125 and Grom since November on L plates 😁 wind,rain,black ice, diesel spills, broken fairings, bent handle bars,broken spirit, concussed…and you can’t nod back at me while your on your financed, less than a thousand mile insurance policy bike….…do one 😂🤣😂🫶🏼
