Initiating a non-rider

Hi all

We have a friend who just turned 30, and for ages she has wanted to go
pillion, but for several reasons neither of us felt confident enough to take
her. So, for her birthday, we got her a 1-hour Harley ride (with
All-American I think) and souvenir t-shirt. We tagged along for the ride
today, and I don't think she lost the grin for the whole hour! We went over
Mt Cotton and home via Redland Bay, so the ride was sedate enough to be
cruisy, with a couple of slighty faster moments, but not enough to scare the
newby.

Kudos to Peter, the rider (and owner of the business) who was just lovely
(and tolerant of us clicking photos, shooting video etc etc etc), the bike
was impressive, comfie, a nice big screen (so the bugs between the teeth
were kept to a minimum), shiny and well-maintained. And the weather was
perfect, and for a change the traffic wasn't too bad either.

Biggest downside is I don't think we'll hear the end of this for a while...
;-) But after we dub the video and print the photos, she should be happy
for a bit! Good grief, what are we going to get her when she hits 40?

 

An early trike rider^H of course!

 

OK

 

Tiger Moth's are fun

But for the ultimate bike in the sky thing try a powered hang glider
(commonly called a trike). Have a look here.

Well, we _were_ thinking of pushing her out of a plane.............. ;-)

I told her she needs to find herself a boyfriend with a Harley!

 

Commonly called a lightweight high-speed plough.

 

I have a goldwing...its just like a grannyglide...what does she like in men?


Someone let Julie and Deb at loose on an
internet connection and the result was:

 

1. She's not interested in riding herself
2. Gee, do they, I never noticed women
riding...............................................................

 

A pulse?

 

D'yer know what I like in women?

Oh that was you we passed, we were on our way up Mt Tambourine, good thing I hadn't
dropped in on the way out wasn't it LOL

See you through the week.

Hi Doug,

Was that you? Great day for a ride, wasn't it?! See ya mate.

 

I'll get back to you on this... see what she has to say!

 

My criterion is bigger than yours.

 

I've never even been to the Criterion.

(well, not often)

hehe.. my first ever trip to Brisbane, 1978 ish, Thin Lizzy, Wah-Koo
(David Palmer from the original Steely Dan) and The Sports played a
free concert in the botanic gardens
Phil Lynott: "Are there any girls out there with a bit of Irish in them?"
wait for response...slight pause "Are there any girls who'd like a bit
more?"
