Do you live with another biker?

**Beemer** · 15th June 2005, 11:01

We currently have six bikes between us, so I guess that puts us in the affirmative! Our neighbour has a couple of farm bikes he's teaching his teenage daughters to ride, plus there is another Beemer, a KTM and a Guzzi down the road a bit.

Hey Deb, good to see you've taken up bikes - I thought I recognised that car from your profile! Rallying and bikes, what a combination, eh!

Hmmm, journo/photographer... methinks I know who this is

You may just know who I am - Joe McAndrew's former team photographer!

Does she ride the HD? If so, do you ever ride pillion?

No-one else in the house rides; #2 son has talked about it, but has no money.
Wife pillions when she feels like it.
None of my family ride, although my (deceased) father used to. There are a couple of other bikes in the suburb, but that's it. Mebbe I should move... It would stop the neighbours getting frowny when I take the restrictor out of the Satantune.

Ms Biff had her first ever go at riding a bike on the weekend, courtesy of R1Aaron. She rode a Suzuki 300 (something) a few times around a field, and loved every minute of it. As a bonus I've not got permission to buy an off roader for us both.

I'm still trying to work out whether this is a good or a bad thing.

Yep, C.B. 'steals' the H-D from time to time, normally when I'm not there!!
Never been pillion behind her yet though

Still the best riding companion i could wish for

I've lived with another rider but he didn't have a bike at the time, but both my cousins and numcle ride and so do my brother and father, so thats 6 of us which makes for cool family holidays

**Squiggles** · 30th August 2005, 15:55

both of my parents ride....did alot more until a couple of years ago, his cx500's been sitting in the shed depreciating since then.... no other family ride, neither do any of my mates

**Rashika** · 30th August 2005, 15:57

nah, had a flatmate once with a bike...that was cool swapping tall stories

but my ex hubby didn't like riding that much *HORROR* except if you count mountain-biking

But the rest of my family digs it: my dad and both my younger sisters ride, altho only my dad has a bike at present...and THAT is only slightly passible as being bike actually going, given the lack of things to make it go, like WOF, rego etc... c'mon pops get the thing together, you need to be coming to some rally's with us!

**claire** · 30th August 2005, 16:32

We both ride in our house, there are two R1's in the shed keeping the coupe & the TBird company.
