APRIL 8th 2009

Me and Ali are really going to do it. We've deided to raise £100,000 for cancer charities and I'm going to ride a Vespa to Rome and Ali's going to manage the projct back home - so here we go! I spend today doing the CBT - Compulsory Basic Training - on a 125 motor bike. I spend the morning getting my balance and going up and down through the gears, trying the brakes, going round corners and then all afternoon on the open road. It's fun and I get a certificate at the end of it which las for two years. Now I am entitled to go round the world on a 125 with L plates. Crazy isn't it? All I need now is a motor bike.
