June 2011
CBT completed (by me, you might have guessed B has been riding since – or before- he was allowed to by law) and Lil Kym arrives – the last part of the puzzle.
Kymi, is a Kymco Agility 125, small enough to get in Horatio’s garage, light enough to not dent the payload too severely, powerful enough to take us both and non-descript enough that we feel safe to leave it parked up wherever we go.
Now we have freedom to roam, park up and then leave Horatio while we explore – perfect!
B sorted out the L plates so they are removable (not required in France) and I purchased a very girly gold open face helmet with butterflies on it from a generous neighbour. Bizarrely I cant find any photos of me with this on, or of Kymi, so these delights will follow on a later post.
B intially refused to ride it out locally in case he was seen – too much of a comedown from the Harley Davidson. Conversely, when away, he is most definitely the rider and I am designation pillion and navigator.
Now we are ready.
Or are we? ……..
