That was one of the wifes friends on her GPZ750 Unitrak. That friend now rides a Harley blobby thing.

This was at the Festival of 1000 Bikes back in the early '90s. My 750 should've been on the parade but it'd been wiped out in the crash a few weeks earlier so only the missus got to ride. There were two parade sessions but she wouldn't let me ride the 2nd one...I think that she really enjoyed herself.

This was on the A272 on the way down to the Isle of Wight back in 1997. None of the group wanted to ride the M roads so we took the more scenic back roads to Petersfield the down the A3 to Portsmouth. Considering the missus had only really ridden down to Hastings on the annual Mayday Run she did well.

We'd always said to the kids that as soon as their feet could reach the footpegs we'd take them on the back of the bikes. As they've grown up around bikes they were excited on their first short ride around the block. You cannot see the biggest grin on my daughter's face inside of the lid, but she didn't want to get off after one lap.

Shame they have cars now, but they're better car drivers knowing that bikes exist & how vulnerable they can be.
