Am so chuffed as it was a MAJOR thing for me to get back in the driving seat on a bike for the first time proper since my smash 26 years ago when I tackled a cement lorry, lost, and forfeited a couple of toes and my ability to walk for 2 years... etc ...etc.... so.... BIG decision to see if I could get back my 2 wheeling independence...
Almost gave up part way through the morning
Once we got out on the road it was so so SO much fun...
Instructors were incredibly encouraging ... so... now booking my theory test and the instructor told me that as soon as I've got that then it's full steam ahead for a handful of lessons then test!
The instructor told his colleague that when I was riding I was like someone called Marie/Maria? Costellino/Costello? or something similar (to be honest I was that hyped about it all I didn't hear what he said) ... no idea who she is/was... might have to do some googling...
Anyway... I didn't tell many people I was doing my CBT as I was really worried I would bottle out and that my fear would overcome me but as it turns out, it all kinda came flooding back and I loved it SOOOOOO much.
Hopefully their confidence isn't misplaced, and, they invited me to have a go on their Kawasaki 500 after the course finished and THAT was far easier to handle than the 125 I took out on the roads! So... watch out world...
Yeeeharrr!!!!!
