The driving lessons Janet is wanting will be something we all hope she completes before she gets back on her dad's motorbike. She has wrecked it twice and we're all surprised she is still able to tell the stories of what happened each time. She is all smiles about her motoring accidents, saying things like I will get a lot better just you wait and see. She didn't hurt anybody else and no property damage occurred except for her dad's bike.

More and more people are driving a bike where they need to go. Cheaper on fuel costs is one reason. Motoring anywhere for very long can set your pocket book back a few dollars these days. Insurance costs cut into the money savedby using a motorbike, but at today’s fuel prices, that's peanuts in comparisons.

These bikes have everything on them but the kitchen sink.Some are so wide they look like you’re going to straddle your armchair and go motoring on it. Nothing wrong with comfort I always say. Comfort and safety coupled together is what we all should look for in almost everything isn't it? Some of these new bikes come with a radio and Walkie Talkie helmet headsets. You and your passenger can listen to the radio and each other in comfort. The passenger has an armchair on the back that looks almost like a recliner with a seatbelt, whichcould be used to take a nap in.

His bike had to have a lot of repairs to get it back on the road. To his credit he did make her earn the money to get it fixed both times. After all a 17 year old girl knows better than to jump on her dad's motorbike and take off on it not just the one time, but twice! She also made improvements to his bike each time. She had a radio installed with helmets customized to fit her dad and her. This last time she had a better gas tank with his name engraved on it installed. Clearly she loves her dad and his bike. We all just want her to think safety first, and driving only after she is ready next time.
