    Next generation into biking

    Finally one of my offspring has finally booked their basic handling course for next month
    Mind you I have to pay for it though, guess thats what dads are for.

    Congrats to the young one HR ...it's taken a while though, hasn't it? I remember we were discussing that at the last Cold Kiwi.

    Oh well, better now than never. Look forward to congratulating the young one at the next Cold Kiwi!

    Good on ya dad, my parents payed feck all for me when I was younger, had to work for it all to pay myself. Dumb shits have forgotten all that and now they are older they all of a sudden want to be parents again. Mind you, Ive finally got mum on a lead so to speak, and she knows what will happen if she gets out of line again. Funny thing about some people, just cannot get it that respect is something earnt not just given because of who you are. In your older years your help will pay dividends, my parents have finally learnt about respect and considering I had to teach them, I'll give them a darwin award.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    I managed to borrow a YZ100 for my girl to practice on. What a natural, confident and keen. She would have passed the BHC without a worry. If I can find a GN at the right pricen or better than the right price it looks like she is keen to ride it to the Kiwi.
    Time will tell
    This is one proud Dad

    This one is #4 to reach that age, each of the rest have said they were keen to get their bike licence but to no avail. #5 is keen to go to the Kiwi this year. Will see how it all pans out.

    Kicked the old Duc in the guts this weekend, then took Josh (age 8) for a quick spin around the block - all good :)
