Motorcycles

Way back, I learnt to ride a motorbike at 14 years and passed the test after a few months. Fortunately for me, where I lived at the time (Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK) allowed riding at such a young age. And also fortunately, I survived!

Today, I still ride motorbikes and never had to take another test, as the one I took at 14 entitled me to ride large bikes and was internationally recognised.

My preference is for Cruisers, though I am not a big fan of Harley Davidson - partly because one I had years ago (81) was terrible; so bad it was also even dangerous (I had to remove a part to make it safe!). Things kept breaking or wearing out excessively quickly. I know they have improved today, however I often hear less than satisfactory feedback from a wide variety of people about the current day quality and value.

Currently I have a Suzuki Cruiser, though may get a Triumph Cruiser in due course - an America or Rocket 3.

I will leave you with a key thought - there are old motorcyle riders and there are bold motorcycle riders. There are very few old, bold motorcycle riders. Which would your family say you are?
