Scooter-tastic
Hello all,
Long story short - my arthritic hip prevents me riding my motorbike due to the seating position forcing my knees apart. Riding for just half an hour hurts for days. Being, at heart, a two wheeled soul, driving a car to work is driving me nuts, so I start thinking about a scooter - riding knees together and all that.
One thing leads to another and I start wondering about the potential for travelling on a scooter. I know it can be done - I've seen the blogs and photos. I'm just wondering what its like? I'm one of those perverse people that loves the idea of doing things differently. The judicious application of inappropriate tools. Using a banana to crack a nut, if you like.
Thinking of buying a Yamaha BWs 125 and commuting on it - and taking it to Europe. Any tips on travel for the novice scooterist?
