You should check out the “Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino” instructional videos on YouTube. His wife is tiny and handles a Harley like it is a bicycle

Too old now but always wanted a Harley. Just after the war US army surplus Harley's and Indians were in the Exchange and Mart in the UK for around £55 but I could only raise £5 so never obtained my ambition. I did however buy my first Cessna 172 in 1972 for £9000 . There's a photo of my former plane on the web if you google Cessna 172 G -BBKH. Picture taken at Biggin Hill.

Yes, lapsed for many years but planning to get back into it now that I’m retired and when the COVID situation improves. I have a full licence but am planning a refresher course toget back into the swing of things.

Thank you for the suggestion aybee. It’s fine to laugh...I find it very entertaining myself. I don’t think I can let myself go down the moped route, somehow just not me. A friend took me round Snetterton on the back of his Aprilla ( think that’s the correct word) and I was hooked.
I’m considering another course of lessons or compromising with a classic tourer on the premise that four wheels might be my only option. Then I’d have the track day option. Not quite the same but still plenty of fun.

I simply love motorbikes!
I was banned from having one by my lovely protective husband who said he preferred my in one piece.
Sadly, he passed away and I decided to give it a go. I’m really small and light but wanted to ride a big red bike; my enthusiasm knew no bounds.
I have just been ‘sacked’ by my motorcycle instructor.
“ in my thirty years of instructing, Dani, you are the only student I’ve had who, after fifteen hours of individual tuition, still cannot corner without falling off. I simply can’t keep taking your money.”
I never got beyond the industrial estate car park. If it were not so funny I’d be mortified.
What next? Who knows, I still get the adrenaline rush every time I hear that wonderful vroom vroom sound.
