Scariest experience of my life

[dino3310]

my 14yr old daughter wants her license when she turns 15 i would
absolutly freak if i saw her go down.
i saw my 7yr old fall of down the farm race on one of those whare house bikes
gave me a fright but when i saw he was alrite i pissed myself laughing,i wouldn't laugh if it happend on the road though,fucken scary thought.

Tonight my daughters friend came over for a sleep over, we had a family trip over at school on our push bikes, anyway she tried my girls new bike with hand brakes, started spinning the pedals backwards looking for the rear brake as she went over a 1 metre drop onto concrete. Full flip onto face, broken teeth etc horrible to watch as I rode past her and man did we feel bad ringing mum.

I've come off twice with folks watching. I'm sure they didn't enjoy seeing me come off, but at least neither bin was a major physically.

I was the one following ya that time, thankfully it was a pretty low speed drop with a fair bit of flat to slide on, just glad i wasnt too close

Slows you down a bit to have a pillion, with that extra bit of "should i overtake here?" or "if i gun it she might go off the back so i wont" mentality to it

I think i prefer following hanne through the twisties, she can have a headstart if i want to go quicker, otherwise i find myself checking mirrors after corners and thats neither too safe nor too enjoyable

I concur. It's actually worse seeing your mate go down than going down yourself. If you get what I mean

It's especially bad when you are moving quick and they hit another vehicle and you wonder how they could possible survive. Then when they move or get up you finally breath again.

Couples of years back my wife who has ridden all her life, bought a new second hand bike, decided to do the Coro loop. next day well shit me, the tyres were warm but into the best of them she went way across the center line her tyres had seemed to let go, three hours later when home she told me about all of her probs so I took her bike for a run, it ended being the tyres through lack of use and being four years old had gone off..(to hard) no grip, we sold her bike and in the last two years we have done 48 thousand k's together. yep I do worry what may happen if I screw up, so that keeps us on the playing field, easy corners not so much slower riding, just easy corners, would hate to see my wife who is my mate and best friend down on the tarmac, through my stupidity, hence I let you all go past at speed while we enjoy our ride, it is hard but that is the way I ride with my mate on the back.....

It's always horrible watching loved ones in pain or danger......however, one of the funniest things I have seen was when trying to get Ms Laava into riding on a KH 100 2 stroke trail bike. After chasing her all over the farm trying to get her going properly, eventually saw her standing kinda off the bike facing up a banking on the side of the track with the throttle nailed and the bike leaping up and back, over and again into the poor cockys fence, smoke pouring out the exhaust and Jo wondering how the hell to make it all go away!
