    First time picking up a stranger and letting him ride behind you?

    Onya. I used to hate pillions I didn't know that they had to lean for corners, made cornering real interesting. Hope should I get stranded someone such s yourself will come to my rescue.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    I think it is more awkward for a man than a woman, being female you just touch people without even thinking that it could be thought of as being threatening or intimidating - yet another advantage of being female you can hug your friends and even kiss them too.

    WOO Rosebank Speedway! Did you stay and watch? I was helping out doing the starting yesterday

    Always see a big turn out of bikes there. Good on you for trusting your skills. My first time was up a steep driveway at low speeds on my learners. Wasn't too bad though, didn't notice him on there for the most part. Although if they were someone completely new to motorbikes I would imagine they would make the task alot harder.

    Yeah I was there for most of the racing (husband races a sidecar)
    Who are you then? (lol) I hang out behind the pits on the go kart track which is where the car or truck is parked. I am always parked there too where I can be close to my bike.

    Ahh yes He hasn't let you hang off the side of his bike yet?
    Yea Lana got the bungy cord around the neck. On the bright side she had her 1st wheel stand. She has a sore looking neck aswell, ripped a bit of the skin off (burn mark mainly), lil trooper was first back out for the next race though! We now hold the bungy low enough that it would get caught under their mudguards.

    Hahahaha he had given up trying to get me to swing, I want to RIDE the bike and not swing! Hell! I even have 2 swingers lined up if I ever grow some balls! Both Dave and Kyle have said they would swing for me if I do try riding at a practice.
    Lana is doing really well and she looks as cute as anything in her black and pink gear!

    Dean isn't keen on letting you ride it? Ask Kyle to ride that number 10 beast (that he can't seem to keep the front wheel down out of the gate!). How about having a go on a solo?


    Just look at that girls style! She learnt to lean off the side her self and she even tucks her head down along the straights sometimes (must make a difference at a huge 10km/h)

    Dean says I can have a go when I am ready, I am waiting for wrist surgery so it is not possible at the moment, and I had thumb surgery the previous season. My left hand is not as good as it should be. As for solos, I would probably kill myself - I saw Jess's accident and that was pretty horrific!

    Lana looks awesome - she will be on a solo before you know it!
