Gone

It was April 2nd, 1975 and less than six months from the day I "bought" the motorbike and it was gone, sold, for a hundred pounds, including all the extras.

I was still paying the monthly drip for the bike for another six months and there was no intention, thought or clue about using this money to pay that off, like the idiot I was, it was spent within two weeks and I was back to having money problems.

There was plenty to keep the young boy busy though, on March 21st I had sex for the very first time (grand old age of 17 and 5/12s) with workshop and college about to become frantic with the impending first year exams.
