    I think you've got to have some ride time for yourself. Am sure he will understand, and if its been a while now, he's probably anticipating that it will be coming to this situation soon anyway.

    Have a wee friendly chat but if he happens get the shytes, tell he can pull his head in (I'd probably never pillion him thereafter if it were me cos I get mean sometimes) and tell him think about why he lost his license in the first place.

    Then you can always kiss and makeup

    Not meaning to judge him, but maybe this will add another reason for him to think first in the future.

    That sounds like good advice. Thanks

    Aye, I'm lucky really. My partner doesn't want to come along every single time I take the bike out. I can bugger off solo, she comes along when she feels like it.

    Gotta have the ME time......

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Well, thats his loss eh? Just enjoy riding the bike, there'll be plenty more blokes out there who will understand a bit better.
