Are you afraid she'll want a "real" motorcycle if you put her through the MSF course?

Oh, it's a "real" motorcycle now! A few passes with a heat gun softened the sticky tape holding on the scooter logos and off they came. I have put a BMW tank roundel on the front bodywork! Looks cool  ;)

Should have some photos after Sunday's "riding school".

OK, so we didn't go to "scooter training academy" today as other things happened. But here's a quick shot.

Note that one of my old R65 tank badges is now attached to Lynn's putt-putt. All other brand ID has been removed. This ought to get the attention of a few students at her school?

You know - many years ago I used to live in a place called Hawker - about 400kms to the north of Adelaide. At one time there was a Jackeroo (read cowboy I guess for you North Americans) who needed a lift. We left my parents place and I had to stop in at a friends to grab something. Every time I went around a corner this guy would lean the other way - a most interesting experience. Now he was a bike rider so I'm not sure what was happening! But at my friend's place I had a chat to him about it and stressed that it was just a tad dangerous to do what he was doing. OK - no probs says he and sure enough he was great - for about 20 minutes and then he started doing it again.

After about two hours of this I'M getting really concerned that he was going to have us both off. So while we doing about 120kms I ducked down and he caught the full brunt of the wind. I felt his legs hit the back of my thighs (and I have to say I slowed and checked to make sure he was still there...)

Yeah, it was a stupid thing to do but you know what? Good as gold after that!   [smiley=evil.gif]
