Overheard my son (5) and daughter (3 1/2) when they were playing on the trampoline yesteday.

Son:- let's play motorbikes

Son:- I'll be Rossi and you can be Stoner

Daughter:- I want to be Rossi 'coz he always wins

Brought a lump to my throat

I took my 12 year old daughter for a ride the other day and was swinging it through the twisties. I felt something bumping my elbows when I was leaning into the turns, i looked down to see her crash helmet. It appears she's taken to hanging off side to side 'like on the telly'.

So how do they play motor bikes on a trampoline?

Dale's never had his suspension set right - for them it's normal ..........

running round the perimeter padding on the springs then crashing into the net.

You may well have a point there. Before the Falco I always had ancient bikes with iffy suspension to say the least, so I'm used to a bit of give.

"a bit of give" - must remember that phrase, that's what the suspension on my trike has! And Norfolk didn't help!

My grand-daughter could say 'Valentino Rossi' before she could ask for the potty!

Someone once said to me (back in my 2 wheel days) "I bet your grandchildren think it's cool to have a granny who rides a motorbike" - I had to tell them that actually to my Grandkids riding a bike is just what people do!

Bless 'em!

It would have been so much easier to get her to say "I need a Stoner" .....








OK .... it's a bit unfair .... but only a bit .....
