Last spring I bought a motorcycle, Yamaha Virago 535. I had been dreaming about a bike of my own since I saw the movie "Easy Rider" in the end of 60´s. When I was young I had not enough money to buy a bike. And then when I had money, I bought a car, because it is much more useful here in the wintertime. But now I had enough extra money and time, so I bought it. I thought it would be easy to learn to drive it. But it wasn´t! You change the gears with your left foot and operate the clutch with your left hand, and the coordination between them must be smooth.
Of course I learned it, but it was not smooth, and I did not feel safe riding the bike. That´s why I decided to sell it, however.
Last summer I bought a boat, an old Coster type sailing boat. I did not sail with it, it was just transported to my backyard, where I dismantled it for the winter. Now I should reconstruct it´s rig again, but I am not sure, if I remember how it was built. And I don´t have any mooring or pier place for her yet.
And I also bought last autumn an old car, Beetle VW 1303 S/1974. Everything was fine then, but yesterday, when I tried to start it, nothing happened. When I inspected the motor, I am pretty sure the problem is in the fact that there is no current to the startmotor and no fuel to the carburettors. A guy who has been specialised in Bugs, is coming tomorrow to see it.
