Which Goddess am I? read on!!!

I took a quiz Which Greek Goddess Are You?

I was told I would be Athena:
Athena is a very powerful goddess: Remember she was born fully-armed when she was extracted from the head of her father Zeus.

Although not naturally indirect, Athena enjoys a bit of make-believe. Getting Athena on your side will get the job done

My Banana Seat Bike Survived and off I go !!

I had always tried to find time to get certified so I could get a motor scooter/ motorcycle. I laughingly have called my riding 

lawn mower my mower-cycle!

I kept my loved my banana bike, 
and finally filled the tires with air and can ride it again.

It is a type of stylized children's bicycle designed in the 1960s to resemble a chopper motorcycle
and characterized by ape hanger handlebars.
It had been hanging in my garage for decades gather dust and invoking memories when a good friend took it down, filled the tires, wallah...

                           I had the best time trying it out!
