    A most humble request

    Hey all!

    I'm finally managing to get my mum into motorcycling, it's a tough battle as she is a little afraid of actually getting onto a bike even though she loves them to bits. She has her basic handling on a scoot and is wanting to take motorcycle lessons, but would love to be able to get onto the back of a cruiser to see what it's like *she's a cruiser nut lol cruiser this, cruiser that. She gets all excited when she sees them riding past *. I was wondering if there are any cruiser ladies/gents out there that would not mind taking my mum for a spin sometime. I will happily pay for petrol and coffees for the trip. I reckon once she's on the back of one, there'll be no turning back, i'll have created a biking monster. So is this sunday evening any good? A short half hour or hour ride or something. I humbly thank all who would be keen.

    Ride safe

    know someone with a cruiser but she is a learner herself so would not be able to give your mum a ride. She would be able to give advise though. She has a really nice bike that might be up for sale soon too. It is a Virago 250.

    There are cruiser rides most weekends. Check out our website. I am away this weekend but I am sure others could give your mother a good ride.

    I'll give her a ride, if she has the gear available, I live just up the way and would happily help out. PM me with details if you are keen.

    Too bad she don't live down here. I'd take her. Anyway - sounds like it is all possible so wish her all the best for her ride and let us know what she thinks. Or whether u have truly created a monster! Have fun.

    Are you taking any prescription medication? [Rain Man]

    Good point.

    Your obviously a thinking man.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.
