  1. My attittude to kids riding pillion is as near as possible to the attitude that I have with adults -----

    I won't ever encourage you to ride motorbikes either up - front - or on - the - back.

    That decision is YOURS !.

    Once you have made that decision I will help, advise, insist and all of those things BUT NOT BEFORE

    The big difference with kids is that YOU must apply the common sense that they lack.

    They only think that they know everything BUT you KNOW that they don't.

    Once they have idicated a desire to ride I apply the basics ----- can they get on and off ? ---- does their leg length actually allow their feet to reach both footrests (at the same time) -------- are they physically strong enough to hold - on.

    You (hopefully) have the common sense and you must let it prevail.

    It is much better for you to have erred on the side of safety than living with the knowledge that "you didn't"

    yes the decision is mine , i have thaught about it for a long time ,my kids have grown up around bikes theyre helping me with building the bandit they like to watch moto gp ,i have NOT encouraged my daughter in the slightest its my daughters desire to come on the back of the bike she came and spoke to me about it,and ive told her when the time comes that i feel she is big enough as for any of my kids then and only then will i take them out on the road i was mearly asking as how the law stood

    the eldest can get on and off yes she has got the strength in her legs ( trust me shes kicked me in the bollocks before so i know)

    dont think for one moment that im gonna be a complete fucktard and take them out now before i know that theyre ready i aint that stupid :angry:

  2. urr the bus and about 20 cars thats what stopped :blink:

    let me think i can spin a wheel a bit more, knacker another tyre and piss of my neighbours even more :lol::lol:

  3. ahh but were gonna get black gear so comes the joy of hand me downs, once the eldest is grown out of them my lad then the other daughter is only a midget so itll be a bit before shed get into them , so itd only be the helmets wed have to replace

  4. i have my roof boxer with iridium visor , i use that because i have glasses and dont have any sunglasses so that options out the window, i have been pulled by the coppers but i always carry my clear in my tankbag so switched it while he was writing a ticket for a stupidly small numberplate :angry:
