Introduce yourself girls!

no i didnt even have a scrape! i was really lucky!

I was like you at first Hannah, very cautious. My instructor kept telling me to speed up on my CBT, but like you said, 20mph felt sooooo fast! Then when I got to start riding on my own I though, blimey a granny would drive a metro faster on these roads than I am going!!! But gradually I gained confidence and got faster bit by bit and now I am happy that I exceed the speed that I do the same roads in my car. I'm still a long way from hanging off my bike and getting my knee down. Perhaps that will come one day but for me its about building confidence at a speed I'm happy with and being safe (as well as having fun).

i can be a bit of a hot head! my first crash was at 80mph down a single track country lane! think i learnt my lesson to not speed!

You don't do things by halves do you Charlie!!!! Glad you're still here to tell the tale!!!

yea i want to be a good rider got lots to learn but i am an eager pupil XD

You sound like you have the passion for it so I'm sure you will learn fast!

hehe, athough i have calmed down alot now! when the other half goes a bit too fast round the corner in his TT i am clinging on to the door with my eyes clothes

TT ?

Audi TT

oh sorry i'm rubbish at cars too lol

Here I am saying hi to the ladies of the forum! I'm Sambo, Rhaposdy's cousin. I don't wanna repeat myself so please check out the 'Introduce yourself' section of the forum for more info on me. So has anyone been out biking much over the bank holiday? I can't belive its nearly over already!

Hi sambo, got out yesterday in the pouring rain , did about 50 miles to finish running in my new piston. Hope the weather gets better, its not as enjoyable when u can hardley see out ur visior

I'm hoping for an indian summer and as much nice riding weather as possible before winter sets in. Riding in the sun always puts a smile on my face.

Ah ever the optimist Rhaposdy! Thanks for the welcome Lissee. I too went out on Saturday but could hardly see a bloody thing out my visor and steeming up glasses. Maybe I should have left the L plate on...

hey... feeling rude as i havent yet said hello... so.... HELLO!!! welcome to the mad house! its good to see another female on the site!

Thanks Charlie! So are there any other scooter owners here?

3 strikes and ur out is it lol

Thanks for the welcome Benneyboy, but you should not be mean to Dan. Jealousy is a terrible thing

Now I don't want to assume anything but you look like a fella (I know that don't mean much) & you are registered as a male on your profile (you may not be aware of that) but I thought this was in the GIRLS ONLY section so may I ask why you are in here I had to go though extensive tests to prove my womanhood & post in here so you had better have a good reason for sneaking into this lady house!

his sex change hasnt been finished yet, hes half way there tho lol

LOL I did think he had a feminine air about him, why else would he be hanging around in the girlie house. I bet he thought he would get to see loads of man porn in here!

Sorry to read about your accident Hannah (I'm not sure why you are about being into scooters though? ) I came off a 125 when I was 15. I was a passenger & the silly boy riding it slipped on a wet drain & then proceeded to hold on to the bike as it dragged us along the road with my leg trapped under it. I lost cartlage and had an open hole in my knee for 4 months which had to be cleaned and redressed every day. I was on cruthes for 3 months. It was an awful time but didn't put me off (only being a passanger) and I love riding my scooter now although I am quite cautious hence the reason for buying a 100cc scooter not a 1000cc superbike! I'm sure once my confidence is up I may want something a little bigger but I find I am really enjoying a scooter as I have no gears to think about.
