Im thinking about getting a scooter - it looks so much fun. The only thing is I am quite a nervous cyclist - wonder if I would just be a nervous wreck riding the thing !
As a youth (1963), I had a motorcycle. I never took my test, just rode on L plates. In those days, you just got on and rode, no CBT or whatever.
Many years later, aged 65, not having ridden a motorcycle since I was 16, I decided I would like to pass my test, so that I could ride (and carry passenger on) a small (125cc) scooter.
My motorcycle enthusiast son-in-law convinced me I should take the "full test" so that I could ride any motorcycle.
This, I duly did and passed first time.
I can honestly say, there were times while learning, I was scared stiff, if was not for the fact that my wife had told all and sundry about my latest bit of madness, I would have crept off home, and quietly forgotten the whole thing.
But, by the end of the training, I passed my test, and, I was really enjoying riding a motorcycle.
I bought a 650 Kawasaki, enjoyed that too, but, wife would not get on the back, and, daughters complained continually about me riding it.
So, traded the Kawaski for a 250cc Yamaha xMax, scooter. Still great fun, wife hets on the back, daughters complaints are muted, but not silenced.
My advice, go for it, you only live once!
