Hi Aly...told you I was sticking my neck out and prepared to take the flak..crivens I've even been threatened with Eggy's wing mirror
. (Please Eggy don't hit my neck, it's only a few years since I had a titanium disc put in.
)
You asked if it was a no, no from everyone and I gave you my truthful answer, many hours of happy uneventful scootering. If Keith and I thought that we were "taking our lives (and our family's) lives in our own hands" we would not have done it. Many years ago the roads in Corfu were full of more potholes, but they were quieter. Most drivers are considerate (and always have been as far as I'm concerned), as are most scooter riders, but yes it does annoy me too to see multiple riders alongside each other and silly youngsters fooling around.
As Steve and Val say it is all up to the individual and we all have choice, the fact that I have had stress free scootering does not negate the validity of other members opinions and the advice given. It will enable you to make a choice based on your attitude to risk and how to minimize it and DO NOT COUNT ON LUCK.
Neggs, I collect my first ever pair of glasses from Specsavers on monday, could this be the beginning of a gradual decline, maybe it is all downhill from here
