Got myself a CBT certificate and a CG125 (James) last month and did my first proper journey on tuesday - from Wycombe to Oxford and back. Well - I survived, so that’s all good. Really enjoyed it (was a little scared :crazy: )
Here’s a few notes I made to myself along the way:
- James’ll make it to 60 (but feels quite unsteady when I do)
- suspension’s not all that great, but still better than a series 3 landy!
- Flies - lots of them, and moths make a satisfying thunk when messing up your visor (poor little things)
- moving my head to look in my mirrors can really throw me off balance if I’m not careful
- Trying to peel off disgustingly sweaty trousers is actually quite hard work and often involves falling over (in my case :blink: )
- all in all - great fun and wonderful to have some independence!
Next stop, 2 1/2 hour return trip next weekend down to Salisbury - wish me luck!
