Although I passed my full bike test years ago I had a big gap in riding and have recently felt confident enough to take a pillion, just so happens that my kids were really keen but I said wait until I was 1000 percent confident back on two wheels first, then my mrs decided it would be cool to have a ride out now and again.
today we found ourselves in Bristol Fowlers buying a lid and trying on jackets, gloves etc, also drooling over the Triumphs...
when we got home we went for a ride and both enjoyed/coped well, I found it was just like riding a heavier bike and took it easy just like riding on wet slippery roads. Plenty of summer plans on the way....
