Help me overcome my fear!
Hi everyone,
My name is Paddy, I'm 25 and live in London. My current ride is a Vespa ET2 50cc Scooter. Not quite a mean machine, but very handy for getting two and from work (Bus - 40 mins, Scooter - 15 mins).
I really feel I'm ready to upgrade to a tourer, but have heard so many scare stories!
Family, friends, other bikers... People make it out to be an inevitability that you'll crash!
I'm a very safe and careful driver in every respect and have been driving cars for 8 years without a single bump. I trust my judgement and take great care when on the road.
Please, someone, put this into context! Is biking really that dangerous? Has everyone here crashed? Is it really inevitable?
Any response would be greatly appreciated!
Paddy
