Mishaps Again :(

Postby kitty paws on Fri Oct 26, 2007 4:23 pm

This section will soon be dominated by me and my scooter mishaps. :(

Since dropping my scooter in Congleton, the week later, I nearly dropped it again going up my drive into the garage. Managed to save it but sprained my wrist and ruined my neighbour's lawn ( had to knock on their door and apologize :oops: ) Couldn't get on the scooter for several weeks due to sprained wrist. Just started to get on it again last week (although wrist has still not recovered) I was doing so well and then dropped it again on the driveway today, cracking my right wing mirror this time. Might as well change both mirrors as I never got the left one fixed since the very first drop in Manchester.

I have this phobia of going up the drive now. It's a right turn and then an upward slope when I get in and Steven's car is parked right to the edge so I can have a wider gap. If I go too wide to avoid scraping his car, I end up falling of the ledge of the drive and drop into neighbour's lawn.

I wonder if I need lessons riding through narrow gaps on a slope? Here's me thinking of going for the A1 license when I can't even get up my own drive. :( On a happy note, I now remember to calmly turn off the ignition and can pick up my own scooter, and didn't damage Steven's car :)
