Hi from the UK - and help..!
Hello everyone,
At the age of 56 I decided it was time to get on the road again. Thought a motorbike would be good. Bought an old CG125. Many things fell off. Replaced things, including kick-start lever... Learned to drain a carburetor, etc. Practiced slow control in local car-park. Many times. Set off one sunny morning, let go of the clutch too quickly. Hit neighbour's pick up truck. Fell off. Lots of blood on leg. Scary neighbour shouting at me. Insurance claim. Got on again next day. Drove round car-park. Bike stalled. Pushed it home (limping..). Went to Manchester to look at nice new scooters. Wondering about whether I can get there (on the road) from here (terrified of combination of UK traffic and co-ordinating bike controls at same time). Getting sad looks from bikers when I mention scooters. Feel like a failure.. Anyone else been here...?
