My daughter, after seeing hundrerds of bikes turn up for a meet at our local shop before their Ride of Respect today, has now asked if she can go on the back.
I told her that she has to be able to reach the footpegs with both feet, thinking that she'd be miles off.

Nope!

I genuinely think it is gene related, my Grandfather rode bikes until his 50's, including a Brough Superior with a chair, my Dad rode when young, but a skull fracture from a very serious riding accident curtailed his riding for nearly 25yrs until I had ...

I don't think biking is in the blood lines, but once it's in your blood it's there for life.. None of my family have ever ridden bikes and never will, they have always hated them. If any of them had half a chance they would sell my bike for me. To me there are two major things that make ...

I have often wondered this. My dad hates bikes. He only told me a year or so ago that my grandad was big into bikes. Apparently he used to be a mechanic for the British speedway champion , bob someone. Kitchen maybe. I forget now , though I do ...

I need to clean the tank up first and prep it as there are early signs of rust.

Looks like an expensive month.

Bring it round I'll sort ,I've got loads paint
Nice to meet you all,all of the bikes were great

I think riding bikes was a necessity for many back in the day as most could not afford to run a car.

My dad and his father both rode bikes.

Saw it a little while back but bloody hell if that happened to me I'm sure it would be enough to put me of bikes for life!
