The Cat stays now! yay

Well recently had to consider option of trading the Cat for a cage for reasons only argued by ex-missus, and came very close.

Fortunately the day has been saved by my 9 year old daughter who got seriously upset at thought and put her mother in her place, so the cat stays!!!

Ps. Would anyone else have problem with having there 9 year old daughter riding pillion?? She's a bit of a girly girl but is desperate to go leather & helmet shopping but her mother objects (no surprise there)

I've always taken my daughter as pillion, since she was 9 and she loved it. Being a single parent I've never had a choice.


She also goes on the back of her Dads R1 when she's at his.



I fell off last year and was fine until she landed on top of me lol

Go for it, she'll love it.

Take my nippers too, as long as they are kitted out correctly I dont see a problem.
As far as I know the law states they must be able to reach the pegs with ease. Love handles are a fantastic addition too (no jokes please)

Both confirmed what I thought, would make sure she had all correct gear, and yes definately use the love handles, she's good as gold for me so know she would do as I say, well its her birthday in 3 weeks so better find shop that sells kids gear!! Whoohoo!! Thanks

Hi JDM,

Great to hear your good news. I'm sure you'll find some way to say thanks. Kids have the strangest ways of letting you know how much they care and how much they don't!

Wishing you many more days of safe riding.

hey - was it you wanted Fi's gear indicator thingy? I've got it here for someone but can't mind who!

Haha, it was yeah, figured it had got lost or forgotten

both! i've just found it! Still want it?

my 2 (one 10 the other 12) cant get enough of it, they argue over who is going on it next
i brough some love handles as they prefer those to holding onto me dunno why, perhaps imn too fat

My two, 17 & 14 both like the bike. in fact its Simon's (17) preferred method of being picked up from York. I prefer it too as its midnight and there are not many cars about!


Even get the spouse on the back now and then!

all 4 grand kids have been on the back of me they loved it the youngest always wanted me to pick her up from school her dad would drop her off with all the gear so i could pick her up every monday for about 2 years
when she 1st went on it she said to me grandad when you die can i have your bike please
BUT you don,t have to die just yet
kids i love em

Appreciate everyone's feedback, spoke to her mother again today and explained fully the way I feel and the fact that she is my daughter to and wouldn't ride dart with Tinks on pillion, she ain't happy bit is coming round!

Now little one has decided she has to have same helmet as daddy so better see if HJC do helmet her size and look for clothes for her birthday!!! Another generation of biker on the way!!

Cheers again all for confirming I'm not bad parent Haha
