Ive been planning to get a bike, well for as long as ive had plans of getting transport at all!
But, a friend of mine, lives in my street. Recently Broke the following: Colar Bone (right), Right Arm, and right leg, as well as ****ing up his neck. He doesnt know how he did it, he was on his own, and blacked out. He was found by a pandar car out looking for speeders on country lanes... Hes totally wrecked his bike, dry conditions, ended up ramming hisself into a tree, and having the bike land on top of him! His helmet saved ihs life! His wife almost gave him another broken leg and arm to match.
Its dawned on me that it might just be too dangerous (at the moment, and at this stage in my life) to be out and about on a 125.
Id love a smart car, but not as my first, for the first thing, way too expensive. What'd you suggest for a first car? Looking to spend up to £500. Need insurance (obviously...), and I might be able to split the cost with my sis, as she will be learning soon. Must be cheap to run, maintain, insure and tax.
Been looking at mini's, but I dunno if I really want something that wouldnt pass its first MOT in my ownership (ie, canne be a ruster).
So, what'da suggest for me?
