Well, this actually all started at the Scottish Motorcycle show. There we found this wonderful mini-moto adventure and I decided..."what the heck, let's go for it love" Paul had done this before, granted, so could give me some excellent pointers. I hadn't! but the lovely chaps at the karting centre decided to advise me to be ultra careful with the brakes as it's been known for people to break their arms and legs and other appendages, so I decided not to brake at all or accelerate (as I would then need to brake) thereby I wasn't going very fast.
We were still in Scotland and pretty chilly and taking extracts from my excuse book I used the following to explain my performance. 1: I had several layers of clothing on making it difficult to move 2: looking pretty chunky for a lithe bird like me ain't a good look.
Here is the video where you can have a right laff at it..
I have speeded it up (obviously to make me look a lot faster, but also so you don't have to sit through 3 minutes of it) If you want to see the full version let me know and I'll post it.
