Not sure about that article. The rain in Miami is different from the rain in England. I like a certain amount of wind and rain in my face. However, the vibe is totally different in different places around the world. I love Miami - really enjoyed my visit there in the 90s - but you can get the sort of rain there that makes it unrideable, whereas here you don't. Not that it would matter, because you'd get some super positive energy, just because you're in Miami...

Don't know about the 125 thing. Many French and Spanish parents will recall when 2-stroke mopeds were everywhere, in the 80s. Over here you get overprotective parents, perhaps. Not sure.

Honda never cracked it with the 'You meet the nicest people on a Honda' series of ads. If they can't, no one will.

For the price of the cbt and all the other odds and ends you could pass the car licence with some change for insurance.
Even when bike licences weren't made into a mess, people were still getting vehicles like the reliant robin.

I've still got a Robin mk.2 sat on the drive. Had bikes all of my life and never got on with cars, didn't bother with a license until it became absolutely necessary a couple of years ago.

Had a couple of Rialto models before the Robin and I've loved all of them. Quirky, surprisingly capacious (spent a few summers working as a gardener for hire, you can fit a full ton bag of brash plus a decent range of tools in the boot) and if you know the vehicle they'll happily go a decent distance. While I've only done runs of a few hundred miles there are a couple of guys I know that have driven to Russia in a pair of Reliants, and another group I know of that did a charity run from Sheffield to Monte Carlo.

They're basic cars even for the time they first came out, but they are a hell of a lot of fun. Sadly they're getting pretty difficult to find now, there was a strange craze in the banger racing scene a few years back and most of them got trashed as they were cheap to buy.
