Kids think we're cool

Masterton. One thing it does well (some may say the only thing) is it has kids who get excited by bikes. I got in the habit of riding the Zrex through town in second gear for maximum effect.

I usually put on a bit of a show too for kids in the back seats of cars I catch up. But only when their folks aren't watching...

I don't think it's a good idea - little kids look at me,and their mother says....''See,if you ride a bike,you'll end up looking like that!''....poor kids,that fixes them,for life maybe....

Uh... Umm, it'd look cool, but not as cool as Ghost Rider dude. I seriously plan to be like him by 7th form.

Heh heh, guaranteed every time I pull up next to a bimbo box with kids in the back I'll see them mouth "hey muuum/dad, look at the cool bike!". Actually pretty much anywhere really...

It's so funny...our biggest fans are sub 10-year olds

Strangely, from what I've seen so far most girls 18 and upwards don't seem much interested in bikes, but a turbo charged 1989 Mazda 323 with cut springs get's their panties wet.

I gotta tell ya, these chicks don't know what they're missing. OK sure you can go real fast in a straight line in the ol 323, but you can go even faster on a bike, then when you start cornering, that's when the fun really begins.

*Shrug* I guess it's hard though to TXT on your phone all night with a helmet and gloves on whilst you're being a pillion passenger.

Well if I was doing that, I wouldn't be looking at the road for sure...

I had a bus load of 6-8 year old girls all trying to wave out the back window. Man they went nuts when I waved with both hands...

The warm fuzzies lasted all day

If only they are like that when they are 10 years older

Yes kids waving is so cool and I always wave back. Being a pillion for 9 years I get the job of majoring waving, especially the Child Cancer Run from Cambridge to Hamilton. My wavers were waved off!!!

Thats so true!
I reckon kids know whats good for them before their cage corrupted parents start meddling(sp?) with their impressions of bikers!

Ususally coz I'm wheelying past the family Chariot, on the tank, grinning through the visor, giving "mum" the "shocker" symbol.

Fuck I'm bad.

Bad? Is a cunt is what you are.

I'm too busy looking at mum while rubbin' me basket to worry about happy waving kids.

The fact kids do love bikes is a pain in the arse when your a teacher, when I'm teaching I tend to spend half my day answering questions about my bike. It's fine at first, but once you've been asked "how fast does it go?" thirty times (and had to lie everytime

) it gets kinda of annoying
