Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride it. I
persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my
father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or three
years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and promised
to teach me.

to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was
very patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my
ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".

later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So,
myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going
back to my home and I passed through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I
lost my control and I fell to the ditch.
After
that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be
angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary,
