i passed my driving test today

[marin man]

Congratulations , 17yrs on and I still remember passing my (2nd) test like it was only yester......year

Just remember, it's a slippery slope now, where cars take over, bikes get forgotten, and neglected.......... or you flog them to fund the car and get that extra bit of independence....

And then 15yrs later you find a website where you find all the bikes you used to own, and covet and then end up buying them all up and an attempt to regain your fitness as you've piled on the pounds......

At least that's the story for some of us on here (and I know I'm not alone )

+1
