Visitors this morning
« on: October 28, 2014, 10:31:09 AM »
Jess, the young lady who asked me for some riding advice a few weeks ago, and her hubby.
She has completed an advanced riding safety course, and passed with flying colours. Not bad, for someone who was so insecure of her riding abilities just a short while ago.  All three of us had a little cruise for an hour or so this morning, and I can see a fantastic improvement in the way she picks her line, and sticks the bike into corners. Braking and throttle control, gear selection are all perfect.
Her hubby said that he is really impressed, (he belongs to the dirt bike brigade, gung ho and to hell with the consequences), which is why she asked me for riding tips, and not him, lol.
They have invited me to dinner tonight, as a thank-you for my assistance.

Great outcome.
They sound like nice people.
You find that among bikers.     :thumbsup
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Jess, the young lady who asked me for some riding advice a few weeks ago, and her hubby.
She has completed an advanced riding safety course, and passed with flying colours. Not bad, for someone who was so insecure of her riding abilities just a short while ago.  All three of us had a little cruise for an hour or so this morning, and I can see a fantastic improvement in the way she picks her line, and sticks the bike into corners. Braking and throttle control, gear selection are all perfect.
Her hubby said that he is really impressed, (he belongs to the dirt bike brigade, gung ho and to hell with the consequences), which is why she asked me for riding tips, and not him, lol.
They have invited me to dinner tonight, as a thank-you for my assistance.

Kev, where did she go to the advanced course.  I am looking at various types for a refresher/returning rider course??
