Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Took my nine year old out for his first proper ride on the back yesterday (thanks for the helmet loan, G). Beaming smile! Best pillion too, light and small, tucked in behind me and chatted the whole time even though I said I couldn't hear him.

Great stuff Mark! Bet he loved it.

Being introduced to bikes for the first time is a tricky thing. You get those that take it easy and just give their pillion a small taste of what it's like, which normally works wonders. Then you get complete tools that are trying to show off to a new girlfriend or something and end up scaring the crap out of their pillion and putting them off something wonderful for life.
