the lads flying the coup in a week or two and the daughter turns 16 v,soon. she wanders down this morning and presents me with a pic of this. which thankfully they don't do in pink. which means maybe, just maybe i wont have something else to worry about.
it's not so much the reliability. it's that other thing. the lads been riding since he was 10. she has ridden quads but not so much. it's all fast roads roads around here with impatient 40 tonners around every corner. then top it off with her inheriting her mothers obliviousness to dangers. all of them.
I recognise that feeling. Thankfully, since my youngest son started playing international futsal and blind football (he’s a goalkeeper and they’re fully sighted), the FA have made him give up riding motorbikes. He was binning it on the regular and while none of the crashes resulted in anything other than minor injuries, it was starting to feel like it was only a matter of time.
I guess this is the old(er) motorcyclist's dilema, you spend years telling her indoors that it's perfectly safe and nothing to worry about. Then the day arrives when one of the spogs wants a 'ped.
the best thing you could do is get her on all the advance riding course so she can learn skills to protect herself Believe me even in cars they are a worry Already had that call "mum I'm ok but"
i'm not going to push her into it like i did with the lad. but if she does, and i can be called all the sexist this that and the others under the sun it wont be a case of just rocking up for her CBT then disappearing over the sunset, however long that takes on a 50cc scoot. it will be an intense coarse up in inversnkie first. and if she doesn't start coming down the stair with links to bigbore and sports exhausts suppliers i'll know she aint that serious anyway. chortle.
actually, maybe i will push her into it.. inverskie aint that far from Glen Affric. which means i can pursue that other thing old folks do. take the camper and stay over for a couple of nights while she does her training. hmm. righto, where's that number for CMS inverness?
