Title: First ride....
Post by: laurie on March 26, 2012, 11:21:20 AM

Had a pleasant little jaunt on Saturday. From home,through Lismore to Ballina for an icecream, up to Byron bay and then home again. All up about 130ks. Not very far, but this was a significant ride. It was the first time my wife has been on the bike with me since being struck with serious illness some years ago.Hopefully, this is a sign of better things to come.
Cheers

   Hi Laurie
                The most important thing I have learnt when riding with LOTO  :-++ on the back is to stop for a break when SHE wants to.
   That way she thinks she is in control and is usually happy to go for a ride.  :whistle
   If she's happy, I'm close to happy.  :grin

Sounds like a great time was had by everyone on the bike and that's the main thing.      :hatwave

Cheers, Diesel

Well done to get your wife on your bike. I had my wife on my also for the first time in about 10 years last weekend also. She sat on it in the shed. That was a great start for us. Congratulations Laurie :beer
