    What is it with me and bikes??

    I don't believe it!

    After my Puch (Grand Prix 50 no less!) breaking down LAST APRIL, a week after I bought it and on the same day as it passed its MOT (I sold it today), I bought a nearly new 125 scooter last Friday thinking 'at least this won't let me down'. I Insured it, did my CBT on Weds, too wet to go to work on it yesterday so I went today on my maiden voyage and guess what? The fooking things broken already.

    It's only bloody six weeks old! Something wrong with the starter - a bit of a bastid when its auto with no kick start. At least it's the dealers problem this time.

    Perhaps I'm not meant to ride a bike. Beginning to go off 'em.

    Guess what? I wasn't pulling the left brake lever (with the inhibitor switch) hard enough! Tosser!!
