A shot on a 50CC scooter

Hello there

I am considering getting a Vespa to speed up the commute to work but have never ridden one before. Is there a kind person on here who might consider letting me ride up and down a back street on theirs to see whether it is too terrifying for words?! I know this is a really random request, I promise I am not a scooter thief - I'll leave you my dog and car keys in exchange! Unless you are a bike thief....ha!

Thanks

It is ruffers, thanks so the advice. I might look and see if I can do a pre-CBT lesson. I just don't want to fork out a load of money for something I might be too scared to do on a daily basis!

    • 'Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan:'   I'm just watching Trump's arrival at Stansted. Apparently, he's spending tonight at the US Ambassador's house in Regent's Park. Could be a long wait for some quite pissed off people in Windsor. He's not due there until tomorrow.
    • Sue said "But I'm sure the silver tongued Keir Starmer will be able to smooth things over. Not to mention the King and Queen 🤢"  Starmer dithers and is unable to make any decision and when he finally does he gets in massively wrong and duly backtracks. The guy is a liability and clown who the country needs rid off before he taxes us to heaven whilst bankrupting the country.  And as he's flying in and around Windsor for two days, I do hope they've got the skies covered as he's a sitting duck.
    • I assumed that the noise was from Heathrow planes - until the power outage in March that brought everything to a standstill. I still heard plane noise during that time - seems like it's City Airport planes. I wonder whether flight times and patterns can be adapted during the early hours before 6am to minimise noise pollution (e.g. slightly later times and not flying so low).
    • I was replying to Jazzer, who said it wasn't going to change Trump's presence here. However, you are also obviously right, and also  nothing will change Trump for the better. And yes, this could be counter productive. But I'm sure the silver tongued Keir Starmer will be able to smooth things over. Not to mention the King and Queen 🤢  I think it's right that people should feel able to make their feelings known. It appears to be  a peaceful and well planned demonstration, and presumably they won't be bringing out the Baby Trump inflatable again, which must be well deflated by now.
