Crashe arrived at just before 9.30 am, soaked to the skin from a typical Auckland shower. I was wondering what the weather was going to do but the shower passed and the sun came out.So I got my bike gear on and we got the Virago out. Rhino was sent packing in the car to do whatever he wanted to do.
I am not a natural born rider and Crashe and I had to start from scratch after so long. It took me awhile to get out of the driveway but soon I was on the road and up into second gear and then into third and nearly fourth. Up and down the road we went. Crashe gave me pointers at every stop point. We practiced U-turns, three point turns and weaving. I am going to have to master the Charlie Chaplain look!!!
After an hour I was knackered so we called it a day. We had just put the bike away when Rhino turned up to say that Colapop was coming into town from the North Shore and was keen to meet up. That is another story!!
I have lots to practice over the next few days. However our driveway and turning bay lends itself to practice three point turns and hill starts.
Thanks Crashe for being such a patient mentor. I hope it was not too stressful for you. I look forward to the next lesson and being able to venture further.
I understand Crashe and I were spotted by another Kber at the top of the road. Crikey can’t get away with anything!!
