The end of the road
 
Today is the day that I part company with my one remaining vehicle, my dear little car

http://upload3.postimage.org/10525/P2190028.jpg

Whilst I'm not as emotionally attached to it as I was to my bike, this is nevertheless going to mean a significant shift in lifestyle - probably the biggest change I've had to face so far as a result of my vision loss.

So I am now offically pedestrian, publicly transported and a major-league bummer of rides. I promise not to step off the pavement without looking both ways first, but cannot account for the actions of London bus drivers or black cabs :lol: .

And for those of you who have forgotten, or weren't here to witness it, I was a biking goddess!

May you have sped through all the Gatsos on the wy home yesterday from Hastings!!

Im sure that there will always be a line of pillon pads and passenger seats lined up outside your residence.

Still a sad day though. :(

You're welcome to a lift any time. :)

Indeed you were once one of the wonderful hooligans of the Massive, sorry to hear this Debs, at least you know there'll always be a pillion for you. The good news is it'll be cheaper and you can always be gently inebriated ;).

Well Debs it was great to see you yesterday, it has to be good to know that the last great trip in the car helped frozen bikers to enjoy a good hot cup of coffee at Hastings, a genuine red cross effort!

I and many others here I'm sure would be more than happy to give you lifts over the summer if we're going somewhere good 8) :wink:

Be proud of yourself and remember: Once a biker, always a biker 8)

What Lee said, I've had some vision problems before and what I have wrong with my right eye if it escalates could lead to blindness. When I first found out about it I was absoloutly sh*tting myself. I can relate to what you've been going through.

Take care of yourself

Does doing a big shop at Sainsbury's count as good? :?

BTW, I've got some odds and sods of car bits on ebay if anyone's interested.
