A call for some boots

[Maha]

I am in need for some size 39 womens boots for a pillion.
Dont really want to buy but if needs must.
Dont really want to keep them either, I will give them back, honest.
They are for my 14 year old daughter who is here to live with us for a few months.
We have managed to rustle up the rest of the gear from our collection here at home

I think I know where some are ,will just see if Mel needs them over the summer

Oh is 39 like a size 7?

[Maha]

No its an 8 Barry, like the ball and the wire.

My brain just decided to start working, I have a pair of Docs I used to ride in years ago, they fit her like a glove. So we are the biking family now

My perfectly good Spidi sz 36 boots. Just sitting in the cupboard, sad and unused. Alas, way too small.

I have some spare Grans Remedy if she needs some for those old boots

Thanks Barry....

The day is overcast/warm/no wind... a great day to take a pillion for the first time.
Just a short trip down to Waiwera and back so she can feel what is like.
We show how to get on and get off, dont move around and lean with the bike, it wont fall over etc. Everything in check so off we go.
She was a tad nervous to be honest, but I stopped at Waiwera asked how she like it so far?
Think her words were '' that was so cool''.....
Back and she said she could stay on the bike all day....
Off to the Waikato next weekend.
I am happy as to have my 14 year old daughter as pillion...

Having recently bought two sets of boots I'm not trusting on size. What is the length of their foot in centimetres?

EDIT: Just re-read thread, and see the boots issue is now sorted.

I've only recently been taking pillions this year, so I'm a bit of a novice - but they seem to get worse with age.

My 5 year boy old absolutely sticks to me like glue. He doesn't understand the repercussions of an accident, and has no fear. When I'm leaning he is leaning - with no lag. So he only experiences enjoyment when riding. He is like an extension of my body.

My 6 year old girl also sticks to me like glue, but we can only go 20km/h down our street and back, and I can't do a u-turn at the end of the street (it is a dead end) as she finds that too scary. So I have to do a three point turn, and roll the bike forward and backward.

I have 12 year old girl in my care. I can only go on short trips up to 50km/h with gentle corners. She gets scared easily, but must enjoy it as she keeps coming for more rides. She also sticks to me like glue - but it might be that she is too scared to move. Perhaps sensory overload.

I have a 14 year old boy in my care. We go on 100km/h roads now, but his brain is obviously developed that he can process danger and he doesn't stick like glue like the other three. It's not an issue, but I can definitely feel him reacting to corners and not moving with me like the other three children. I can also feel a small lag between when I move my body and then he follows.

And lastly, my partner, somewhat older than the children, sticks to me at road speed (say 40km/h and above), but not at low speed (such as doing a 20km/h u-turn). I mostly notice a lag between when I move and she moves at low speed. But easy enough for me to compensate for - I avoid those manoeuvres.



How have you found your 14 year old?

Brilliant really, no trouble, but she is with her dad so that might play a part.
I asked her about the lean of the bike when cornering...she said ''I love cornering''.
And theres a few between here and Waiwera, I kept to the speed limit on the way down.
There was no real noticable clamping, I was really pleased with how it went.

"She is with her Dad" That is the thing - I can do 100km and twisty corners with my Dad, but doing 50km with my husband freaked me out........ weird huh? I can't do pillion at all but I felt safe with my Dad
