Tornado

Hands up who can drive?... well i can't, i don't know why or how i just never got round to learning. It takes a long time to learn and be able to drive a car, not to mention the money. My way was simple, just pay 60 quid for doing a days CBT (compulsory basic training) which i admit i should have failed seeing as though i crashed the bike and split my knee open... but none the less i had a license of sorts.

So there she is, my motorbike/moped hybrid aka TORNADO, thus named because Zorro's horse is very fast and black and my bike is also black... I wanted to write a blog about her because she makes up a lot of my fondest memories of university, she may not be the fastest bike ever but she all ways got me where i needed to go.. well mostly but the break downs were as memorable as the moving journeys.

100 miles to the gallon, tenner at a time of premium, i know i know, premium! so she was very student friendly, plus when walking around town in my really nice bike jacket know one would know that she topped 45 miles an hour down hill with the wind behind her. Nope i was a hells angel with a massive red L sticker on my hog.

I took this picture of where she lives in a lovely shed and every morning when i go to wake her she always looks as if she's gazing out of the window as if wanting freedom a lust for the road, speed really isn't everything because i get to enjoy a lot more of the ride including f***ing off the drivers of cars :)

Yes people make fun and i join in the jokes because at the end of the day it is very funny and i would say i wouldn't trade her in for the world but i'm all ready planning to so there's no moral to this story bar that moped hybrids are the way to ride, if they work properly.
