My old man used to ride before I came along. When I was a young'n, he commuted, from a small town in the middle of nowhere, to Napier for work daily on his Daytona 1200.
After I got my license my dads interest in bikes kicked back up. This time round he is getting his license and using my now redundant KLX300 to go through his L's and R's.
My mum decided to tag along to his basic handling certificate (with my little brother). She passed and sat her theory test within the week. My brother and dad are yet to sit their theory tests.
My mum was just getting it because she could, but after doing the basic handling, she had so much fun she's looking for a scorpio or gn250 (she can't get onto the KLX... vertically challenged). She has a 2 piece leather set that fits her and a helmet.
She used to pillion with my dad, has swung on a sidecar (speedway) and even had a go on a push bike jump I built one arvo (long story short, she broke her ribs and it was hilarious).
I think She's actually going to start riding but only commuting around town. I think me and the old man will go for rides to Burt Munro etc when he gets a bigger bike. But my mum will be stuck in the van or plane to escort my 9 year old sister (which is a saving grace. "slow down!" "Don't go around corners so fast, I can't keep up" etc. Will hopefully not ruin the lunch stops).
