    Booked the bike in for the suspension setup on Friday, same day as the car service.

    Considering dropping the car off wearing full leathers and helmet to save time swapping over. Thinking it might make them check harder for warranty issues. o_O:D

    I hope so but it didnt happen with my daughter.
    Bought her a Cbt for her 16th birthday with a brand new aprillia 50cc awesomeness on which she came home having completed the cbt.
    Never used it again as she got terrible helmet hair and refused to be seen with said 'helmet hair'.
    I kept it in the garage for 2 years until my son turned 16 at which point he thrashed it and abused it in every possible way :D
    Nice piccy though

    She’s had a balance bike for a month and a half and can already balance with no feet on the floor, she now wants one with pedals as she could peddle a trick immediately. Next step will be a PW50 or similar (and a CRF450 for daddy too ;))

    Oh lovely! Was really nice out today - didn't get to Iver I don't think but was a good ride - much nicer area than where I live for riding was almost getting too hot when I had to stop at lights.

    Lucky lad! My dad got me into bikes - by accident. Out of 4 kids I’m the only one cool enough to ride. Many weekends spent riding Mx, although on my own. Wouldn’t have had my childhood any other way.

    I took my boy to Wales for a Yamaha dads n lads off road school weekend. Not sure if they exist anymore but it was on a farm of many hundreds and hundreds of acres run by a family who were all sponsored by yamaha as off road trials champions and stuff. The father , sons and I think a grandfather were all prev or current champions.
    They provided the bikes, kit and everything. We had a superb time doing stuff I never thought I could. My son was about 9 I think and he got stuck in a mud bog so deep when her got off the bike it stayed upright.
    He loved it though

    Memories you’ll never forget tight there Paul, and more importantly your son won’t forget either. I remember when I upgraded my bike to a 125 and used to scare everyone except my dad senseless, he knew I was an idiot, and could control a bike :D

    A few of us around West London, Thames Valley then? Nice!

    When things go back to normal we should get some (late) brekka at Ace and have a ride somewhere :-D

    (with 2m distance at all times :))
