Heart Warming biker story - almost literally.
We made a new friend recently and later found out that she has been really poorly, life threateningly poorly in fact and with out me knowing the details, she has been in hospital for major heart surgery.

She is currently waiting to hear about getting her bike license back after being so poorly and is missing riding her little bike. Well, the wife and I wondered of one of us could take her out for a little blast and then finish up at the local bike night on the sea front, to give her a bit of a break from Countdown and being nursed.

Said new friend was really excited, but I am not sure she really believed we would do it. Until I told her what time I would pick her up. The wife told me to be very careful and take very good care of her, because technically she is still very poorly and we don't want to kill her.

So I met said person and she jumped on the bike and we went for a blast. She was whooping and giggling even though I took it steady, even on the motorway. We arrived at the bike night show and I swear that the smile on her face was the biggest brightest smile I have ever seen. We wandered around for a little while and then stopped for a cuppa, before jumping back on the SV and my dropping her home.

I love riding my bike anyway, but her smile said more than a thousand words ever could and I would like to think that we have encouraged her to get on her bike as soon as she can. Get well soon CP, much love from CJ and Jayneflakes XXX

Brilliant
Pillion rides should be available on the NHS, be a much better idea than clowns and laughter therapy. Hope she's back on her own bike soon.

*clicks*

She said that
although she specified that Suzuki 600 Bandits (which she really wants) should come via prescription!

I tried to tell her that the SV is better, but not sure that she liked the sports styling. Oh well...

SV's
Look like Joey Dunlop has riden them down the side of a mountain.

Stop messing about and buy a bike with a proper fairing.

I took my 26 year old brother for a ride
He is some what taller than I am and some what heavier. He is also unused to bikes and was not aware that standing up on the pegs mid corner is a bad idea.

That was most definitely not one of the best things ever! He still loved the ride though. Little brothers are sweet until they tower over you!

I tried taking my older (much older) step brother on the back
The steering went a bit bloody funny, he must weigh 16 stone! Took older half sister too, she didn't understand the "lean with the bike in corners" bit.

My dad has a Triumph Bonneville Silver Jubilee that he had from new, all certificates etc present and correct.
I grew up around triumphs, nortons and BSA's, it's British bikes all the way for me! I was even riding until I was 7 months pregnant.
That must have really cheered her up so well done you
