LIFE AND RIDES OF A BIKER

I was just 10 ish when i got started with the biking ,i pushbiked to see a friend of mine from school,his dad had an old scooterin the yard.My friend was a want to be mechanic even at that early stage in life he knew what he wanted to be(and turned out to one hell of a mechanic when he left school)
Anyway we dragged this old heap into his dads shed and set to work on we pinched some petrol out of his old mans lawn mower, and he set to work we tried every spanner in his dads toolkit and fiddled with everything that we could fiddle with, after about an hour of mechanic work we had an engine growling at us, after much discussion it was decided i would be the first ever test crash dummy so on with some old gloves, a pair of safety type goggles and a wooly hat as a skid lid.
So here we were ready for the off we wheeled the beast outside i sat on the bit of sponge we used as a seat kicked it into life ,i selected first let out the clutch and twisted the throttle back, it shot forwad like a beast, the sponge slipped, the throttle (which we didnt look at )got stuck and i was propelled at brake neck speed towards his mum and dads rear kitchen door, i hit this with such force it shot open and parked up the kitchen units,
Now we didnt know his mum was in the kitchen baking pies, it scared the life out of her, any way she got her breath back and started beating me over the head with a large wooden spoon untill we got the beast dragged out of her kitchen (thank goodness for the wooly hat) any way we pushed the scooter back to its resting place, end of first biking experience, oh and we had to cut the lawn with a push mower because we stole the petrol from the other mower.Did it put me off motorcycle defentily not.!!!
