[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1533752, member: 209498"] I had a small Honda 90 when I was doing the Knowledge for 3 years. When I qualified as a London cabbie I didn't actually like driving a cab, and I got my licence during the 1981 recession and wasn't even making enough to pay for the hire of the cab and diesel. So I stayed in my day job. I got a Honda CD 250 for commuting to work mainly, and rode it for about 5 years. I gave it up after the third time I came off, twice because a car driver pulled out from a side road without seeing me, and once at a junction where lorries had spilled diesel, then light rain had made it like an ice rink. Luckily apart from minor scrapes and bruises I was unhurt, but I thought it was time to give up before I had a more serious accident. That was almost 20 years ago. Lately I have been thinking about getting on two wheels again. I am tempted to buy a Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster. I keep looking at them online. But I don't think I could justify the cost just for a ride once or twice a week when the weather is good. And as I don't have a garage it would be insecure on our forecourt, with a good chance of being stolen. [/QUOTE]
