Did his CBT yesterday went out with him for a quick poddle with him last night this weekend will be having a father and son session on a few gentle local lanes
Can i come along on the old maico (dodgy knee permitting) ?
Dodgey knee ? - went a bit bonkers at Haccodown did we
Perhaps you and I can do a seperate session mate for 2 reasons - 1 he is VERY novice, I don't think we will get far and it will be VERY slow and will drive you bonkers and secondly we are combining it with a ride to go see (and probably have a bit of a road ride) with his grandad - be nice to get 3 generations of us out for a ride and a piccy
I'd probably appreciate a 'decent' ride with you once I have been out with him - that OK?
Hi peeps.....life a bit mad at the mo so will be brief.
Well we went out Sat, progress was a bit slow to start and we spent a bit of time on 093 learning the basics.....like pulling off without stalling did a few lanes local to home - 064 etc and then went over to 100,102,108,107,115,114 and round and round a few times to let him build his confidence up.
Back up over the hills by way of 109 etc and home - was out about 4-5 hrs and did 25 or so miles.
Will be a while before he's upto a 'proper' ride I think but we will get there!
The little Rieju performed very well and even hauled me up a few lanes well I had to do a few demos
A few pics of his 1st ride
Testing the waterproofs...

Note the bulge in the front pocket of MY KTM jacket which he is wearing (along with MY boots as his wern't comfy - so i had to wear them ) in the last 2 pics......yes it was handy having a 'parts sweeper' tagging along behind
