Looks like I'm here now
So I've got back on two wheels again.
I know a lot of you will say this is a bad decision as I've got 2 spills to my name, but needs must.
I've decided to abandon the scooter world for now.

That's pretty much it for now, I'm going to take it easy and I've changed my route to what should be a safer road (touch wood).

HaHa! cant keep a good man down. You can survive even the highest speed off's and walk away if you wear your gear all the time. I won't go fast without it, just gear up and get back out there!

Re: Looks like I'm here now
Only fear and money; I say bollocks to both of them things! I'm at my happiest with two wheels it seems!homie wrote:HaHa! cant keep a good man down.
I assure you I won't be doing any high speed over takings.
Although I know I didn't do anything to my knowledge incorrectly during my accidents, I still have changed my riding style completely. I've researched tips for dealing with bad weather and bad roads, speed is maxed out at 50mph, corners are a lot easier and smoother on this bike (so that's a big help), also these geary thingys seem to keep me well tuned into what's going on

Sorry guys been a crazy busy weekend and monday morning not had chance to get the camera out (my smart phone is ready for the bin) Only picture my wife took of our little lady giving my bike the once over. You still get to see some of the YBR's beauty.WhiteNoise wrote:PICS or it Didn't Happen
Cheers for the support.

Adorable!
Actually that's a cool looking motorbike... bet it handles about as nimble as the PCX.

Re: Looks like I'm here now
A few precautions for the time of the year
Autumn, wet leaves on the road are very slippy
Wet patches under trees.
After a long dry spell, roads are extra slippy on the first rain.
Watch for rainbow effect stains on the road, could be diesel.

Good for you Seph! I know too many people who hang up their helmets after an accident. I commend you for pushing forward!

Good to see you are riding again, had mine in today for a low speed shudder, turns out rollers want replacing. All under warranty and booked in for the 21st.

Re: Looks like I'm here now
That's sweet, more pics please! Welcome back to two wheeling. I must ask, how did you convince your wife to let you back on two wheels?
Beautiful daughter.

Re: Looks like I'm here now
Thanks all. thanks for the advice also. I'll be taking it easy and hopefully safe.
She is a doll though you're right.
She's got a right tatty head because she's been teething and just woke up from a nap at her grandparents.
dkazzed: - Believe it or not, her idea! She saw how miserable I was and was fed up of giving me lifts places. We worked out our finances and I was able to pick up Madge (2000 on the clock) for 15 hundred.
I'll post some more pictures asap guys.

Re: Looks like I'm here now
That's what I figured! Keeping you off two wheels is a great idea until the family budget needs to be balanced.
I would get life and disability insurance though if you don't have it already.

Re: Looks like I'm here now
When you first get a bike you just fall off. Who knows, rights of passage stuff. After a few years you couldn't fall off if you tried.
