| Kids and bikes... Went out with my 3 year old lad on his LT50 quad bike this morning across some fields...which he really enjoys !!! All of a sudden, as I was watching him tazzing around..it suddenly dawned on me...hes going to be wanting to get a road bike when hes old enough..gulp. And its gonna be because of me ! Now ive got mixed feelings about this. Yes ive had a very serious accident, and yes the roads are getting increasingly busy and full of complete herberts and id worry sick about him (as im sure my parents did when I went out on the MBX50 all night at 16 and often kipped at a mates house without telling them...  ).But lets face it how could I possibly talk him out of it having the passion that ive got for all things shiny and italian with 2 wheels..??!!  I just remember the feeling of complete freedom as a 16 year old yoof..riding along into town on a friday night in a procession of AR/RD/DT/TSX 50's!! Id love him to experience that one day but will just worry silly over him... especiaslly with the increase of traffic (and subsequently idiots) and just wondered what all you parents felt really..??! Suppose at least we can make sure we give them the benefit of our riding experience. Cheers Nat  |
