Advantages: Light and Low

Disadvantages: For some reason people sneer!

I passed my test 20 years ago but what with getting married, having kids and working to pay the rent bikes got pushed aside.

Three years ago I decided that now my kids are growing up I decided to better my career.This meant looking further afield for work.
Living in the sticks means exactly that. I found myself a job 50 miles away, but having the car as my only transport ,meant a very costly fuel budget each month. That is when I decided to get back into bikes.

After checking with other bikers what a slim in her 30s not quite ready for the rubbish bin should ride after 10 years out of the saddle the GPZ came up everytime.

So I got one.An N reg blue and purple model in good condition that cost a mere £1200 taxed and MOT and ready for the road.
Whats best about this bike is its low and light. Both features I recommend highly for women just starting out in bikes or getting back into the saddle after time away.

The insurance on it was reasonable considering I had no no claims and not ridden for ages.

She was easy to handle, good grip and gave me the confidence I needed to open up the throttle and enjoy the road.
I never had any problems with her mechanically and started first time everytime.

Now I am onto something a little more suicidal.But without the GPZ to convince me I missed biking I would still be wrapped in metal and driving on 4 wheels.
