A fear concurred.

So Friday night was all set to be a quite night in, highly due to the fact of having 0.15p in my bank account, 11p in my wallet and limited petrol.

But anyway I was invited to go down to the ace cafe in London, this seems to be quite a tradition within my little community of mates with bikes. I reluctantly declined the invitation, after much persuasion I compromised with my friends and managed to hitch a ride in my friends car down to the ace thus solving my petrol dilemma. My friend who would was going to be meeting us at the ace late that night told me to take my bike gear with me and he would take me back to Welwyn on the back of his bike I found this highly irresistible and slung my bike gear in the back of my mates car and off we toddled to the city. (yes we were going to a bike night in a car) any as proceedings followed I saw numerous bikes do several wheelies and watch our mate who followed us down on his bike get pulled by the police.

Around 10:45 my mate/ chauffeur arrived on his big bike (see picture) in all honestly I was crapping myself I have a massive fear of giant cc bikes just the whole insane and brutal acceleration. Come 11pm I jumped on the back of the bike and prepared for a whole new bike experience.

Well from leaving the ace to the first set of traffic lights I was in shock and fear of how this bike effortlessly accelerate to 70. But after about 30 mins I loved every single second of it! Any way we plodded around the city bathing in all of beauty of London at night. Before we knew it was 2:30am and it was time To head home and hit the big open motorway. This is was what I slightly dreading and more overpoweringly what I was looking forward to. We manoeuvred ourselves out of the city and before you know it we where on the a1 heading for the A1(M) this is when everything changed and oh my, my world was turned up side down and I was travelling just over 140mp my entire body was under immense strain and i was holding on for dear life! And I was in shock and for every second of it I was either laughing in joy/fear or smiling in pure ecstasy of the speed and the acceleration.

All and all this experience has helped cure my anxiety of giant bikes and there speed. I’d do it all over again! It was one of the most funniest and thrilling things I’ve ever done.
