call me Easy Rider
It's only a 45 minute ferry ride, but i cant really enjoy it as it is too cold. Naively i hire a scooter after unbelievably never riding a bike before. Immediately i nearly crash it into a car :) 5 minutes later i think I've mastered it, until i reach my first corner at any real speed and find i cant turn...i haven't quite got the hang of leaning into a corner at this stage. fortunately there is a bit of space at the side of the road and not the usual drop into oblivion. That was really a close one I'm thinking as i hammer the bike down a big hill - managing to get the 50cc engine up to 70km/h. boy you should have heard the noise. i have a great but absolutely freezing day exploring the Island - there is no-one around i have the place virtually to myself. its been great to ride the scooter and i have to do it again...but when it's warmer.
