She NEVER stopped talking for the whole 1.5 miles. Took the chance to take her to the local minimoto club (run by Bedfordshire Police) to watch her sisters ride. Now it seems l cant get her off!!!!!!!!!!

I know a few of you aint keen on "little uns" riding pillion, but she was strapped on, had love handles and her Mum was 5 metres behind in the car.

And no, l dont normally ride in jeans!!

Hey, the kids love it.
My pappy used to sit me on the tank and go for a good old blast.
I used to love it when we hit the corners and the feel of those old roadmasters loosin traction and threatening to toss the pair of us into the nearest ditch.
Course, there were no such thing as elf and safety them days and you only wore a helmet in the winter to keep yer bin warm.
Whatever

My dad used to take me to primary school on the back of his bike.
It was awesome. Every kid should get the chance (with a safe rider,
or at least one who is safe when kids are on the back, anyhow)

My old man didn't like bikes.

Still didn't stop him from going on back of my C50 when I was 17!

He liked them even less after that. :D

My kids have been brought up with bikes all of their lives...the missus was still riding her 550 Honda up until 3 weeks before she gave birth to the first of two daughters...
