Mummy's boy
« on: 12.03. 2017 14:19 »
My Mum has always been main encouraging force behind my biking life. When she was a kid she used to go on the back of her brothers friends bike (BSA'S)
so when she found out I had bought one she had been dying to come and see it.
So last weekend came down for a visit and she could wait to jump on my bezza. Bless her she now want to go out on the back  *lol*

My parents always figured it was something I would grow out of. Maybe I will.

Great stuff mate. She'd find it a bit hard riding side saddle like on a horse.
No one in my family were interested in motorbikes. I was the black sheep. till my wife found a cousin down in Victoria who sent a picture of my great uncle's shop about WW1. So it is in my blood.
Cheers

Great uncle on your father's side, it seems. It would be cool if you knew if he was one of the gents in the photo.

When my mother found out that I had a new A10, she had to get a lift to the pub on it.
