yeah i remember it vividly. the day the stabilisers came off. it was a summers evening oop north. god it was nerve wracking.
but not for long. then just a sense of freedom. yes down the end of the avenue and i turned the corner into the back lane. it was a left turn (and across unmade up ground). but i stayed on. it was brilliant.
and i still wonder whether it might turn out to be the best day of my life. ahh simple things ....
