My First Experience At Driving A Car Was When I Had A Friend Who Lived In Elie. (A Small Town about 3 miles From Where I Lived)
And it Was This Car,,,
An Austin A40 Cambridge
He Took Me To A Bit Of Private Ground Behind His House with his Father and let me have a go at driving for the first time.I had to get some cushions to get me higher as i couldnt see out the front window lol.
It Was Great Driving a car and showed me how the prdals worked and how to change gears. took a while but i managed it. without crashing the car lol.
When I Eventually Made it To Secondary School (Waid Academy, Anstruther)
I Made A few Friends and my craze for motorbikes began. A Friend Who Lived on a Farm Had Loads of Motorbikes in a Shed on the Farm (They Belonged To Him Not Stolen or anything like That) There were about 6 bikes there, A BSA Bantam. Triumph Tiger and Cub, a scooter I think it was a Vespa or a Lambretta and some others.
To The Field!
I Had A Go on all of them and the best one was the Triumph Tiger. It Really Growwwwelled lol
So Many Memoties Yet To Come....
To Be Continues....
The Triumph is awesome. In the US I had the Yamaha 80, they were called rice rockets by other kids....who didn't have bikes.
