Hi, I stumbled across this forum this evening whilst looking for anything online to fuel my love of my new scooter (two year old GTS125) and I seem to have struck gold! - what a brilliant place to spend time!!
I have only been riding since Friday - CBT day and scooter purchase day. As a 43 year old it is 27 years since I first rode anything motorised on two wheels (Yamaha FS1) and as soon as I could learn to drive a car I did and somehow bikes or scooters never got a look in from then on.
However, having relocated to South London and needing a 13 mile commute, like so many of you, I have grown tired of the train, tube and bus, the cost, the waiting and the overcrowding.
Today I did a 60 mile round journey up through North London out to Hertfordshire on business - it chucked it down for much of the time and was really windy.........but I loved it!!
That was a long winded way of saying "Hi", and I look forward to hanging out here.
Cheers
