I was on my way home from work today, and pulled up next to a Volvo people-mover 4WD type thingy...... and I could hear this tap tap tapping noise, so I looked around..... and these two little kids were waving madly at me. They were so excited when I waved back..... it was really cute... And then there was the little boy at the Mall last weekend, who almost knocked his Dad down when I walked past... "Daddy, look!!!!! A GIRL motorbike rider!!!!!" Are we still so rare???? (ok, i loved it, it was really cute - I don't often get called a "girl" - clearly the bike gear means you don't have to wear the "lady" title)..... I guess it made up for some of those times that the hoonboys in utes have dragged me off at lights cos they can see the L-plates and the small stature and they have to prove their manhood, tee hee. betty
