Fantastic - well done!

I passed my CBT about 13 years ago but never took it any further. TBH, I'm happy sitting on the back of OH's bike - but I have to admit I'm a bit envious of you!

Call it mid life crisis I don't know.  What I do know is I am thoroughly enjoying it and met lots of people.  It's a great experience

Does it matter?  We are allowed to try new experiences and if we enjoy them GO FOR IT  ;D

Do you have a brightly coloured helmet?

Hi there Blossom

Go for it honey. I too tried riding at 50.......I had a emotional melt down around that time so gave it up, the now Ex went on with my idea and passed his big bike test so before I left him I did go on the back of his Honda Blackbird.

Yearn to try riding again so never say never:) I also took a boat out two weeks ago with a friend. Having owned a 30 foot boat for years that I did drive, I had never brought on win to moor ( usually was on the bank with OH doing the work. SO the other week I brought the boat we hired into moor successfully many times yippee...another skill done from my bucket list xxx

That's the thing about boats.....No brakes  ;D

I am very impressed, because living by the sea and near to a marina I have often watched with great amusement people trying to park boats.
The ones that struggle the most are men with captain hats on. Obviously the silly hat does not help  ;D
