How the other half live, I can't think of anyone I would rather not have spent time with when I was growing up.

Any ideas about a radio controlled radar sensing impact protection motorised manual wheelchair?

 Dodgey knee ? - went a bit bonkers at Haccodown did we disbelief

 

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 wink

 

I'd probably appreciate a 'decent' ride with you once I have been out with him - that OK?

When the lazy arse gets a job and earns some wonga so he can pay up and join the TRF then I will 'introduce' him fully wink

 

But having shelled out for his bike, lid, tax, insurance (ouch!) new tyres, boots, CBT (£130 hmm) etc etc Im not bleddy paying for owt else....

 

He has half a tank of fuel left and if that doen't get him round on Sat then he's in the cack and pushing it home cause I'm not filling it up for him furious

 

Kids Eh!

 

 

Course - its not like i was like it at his age now was it biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinwinkwinkwinkwinkwinkwink

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 disbelief 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 wink well I had to do a few demos biggrin

A few pics of his 1st ride smile
