Dad had another lesson today, but it was cut short because of torrential rain. Fair play to him, he’d been out for an hour running errands and still stuck with a second hour in the rain before saying enough was enough. He seems to like the CRF250, and doesn’t know any better so rides the knobblies on-road without any great fear.
Since it was cut short, he went home and I chatted to my instructor for a while. He let me roll around the enclosed area on the Bandit 1200.
Didn’t even bother twisting the throttle, wow, can’t believe how much it pulls in first gear just slipping the clutch!
Suppose some time I’ll just have to sort a big-big bike.
