I'm new to the world of scoot.....

Hi Everyone,

I am very pleased to say I passed my QRide.... After 12 straight hours of gruelling training, testing and having to endure smart comments about my scooter not being a real bike, I managed to pass!!

By the end of the day, I had managed to change a few minds about scooters. Only 3 out of the 5 of us on the. Ourse managed to pass.

The instructor gave me a huge pat on the back at the end of the day and told me he now has a little more respect for scooters. He was surprised that I got through the slow figure 8's as easily as I did given that the other bike normally idle through them but the scoot had to keep on the gas.

Anyway, I am pretty proud of myself and Walter.

Some pics attached..... Hopefully

Well Done Wanda!!
Those figure 8's are tough! Good on you!
(the tall old Yamaha dirtbike 250 I was issued had so much loose drive-line snatch it was ....Well, just glad I passed!)
Feels good, doesn't it.
I wasn't even riding a scooter - and still took poop because I was testing to ride one.

Riding a blue and white plastic scooter, wearing a hi-viz yellow armored jacket, full face helmet and gloves in Ohio farm country....well, you gotta have a thick hide. My Vietnam vet buddies all ride HD's and wear bandanas and yards of leather. They cut me some slack only because I was a medic. They made me the medic slash chaplin of the group.
(what else are you gonna do with a guy on a scooter!?)
At my age , after the roads I've been down - well, I just grin like a school girl behind my helmet when I'm cruising along on my scooter. This thing is a blast to own!
Lucky lady in the sun, you!
Ride safe, Stig
