Scooterini

[galadriel1010]

My scooter is being delivered tomorrow. I've paid for it this evening, which made this a very expensive month, as I also paid for the delivery and my CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) within about 24 hours. I was supposed to do my CBT today, but I started it and then fell over, and I was too shaky after that to even think about it properly. I'm booked in to go back next month, though, and I'm going to practice what I can in my back yard, mostly getting a feel for the brakes and the throttle without actually letting it move.

I'm annoyed with myself, because I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew, but I've always wanted a bike and I know I can do it. It's just that annoying 'tense up and panic' stage that I go through with almost everything. I'm pretty much through it at work now, but I gave up trampolining because I probably wouldn't have got through it without injuring myself. I really need to learn to get it under control.

You can do it! My mum was in her fifties when she learned and rode almost into her seventies - if she can do it then you definitely can!

Congrats on getting your scooter!

I rode as a kid. Once you get the hang of balancing for turns and hand brakes and throttles, it's not too hard.

You'll get there.

Getting back on the horse can be hard, I felt the way you do after my last car accident. Keep trying and in small doses before you know it you will be motoring to work like a pro.

Hahaha, CBT means something totally different in my brain.

That said, congrats on the scooter! It sounds really cool. I'm totally sure you'll be able to get it, it's just a new skill. Have fun!!
