Just got home from a manic day with my youngest.   Not moaning I enjoy her company but it’s been busy.   First off I taxed her bike this morning so it’s road legal now, £25 for a 125.   Adjusted  the back brake, Mirrors,  checked the oil and tyre pressures then left it out front.  Got the Hornet out as we had errands to run.    First off to Dameralls via a fuel stop to get the spare key for Chloe’s CB125F.  She was grumpy as she wanted us to use her bike for the Dameralls run but a 40 mile round trip for the pair of us on duel carriage ways on a 125  didn’t appeal  

IMG_2031.thumb.jpeg.d2bad49a6f9e529c0fa9b87ac3b1cc7f.jpeg
Had a mooch around Dameralls but it was chaos as they were having a major bike reshuffle.    
IMG_2037.thumb.jpeg.30544d955db03e78db96e79ff13fad6b.jpegIMG_2035.thumb.jpeg.a5db9a6369a80ebde461a2e91330d5f1.jpegIMG_2036.thumb.jpeg.076b5e377f33952764f307c690411254.jpeg

The Dear Maid did think it would be good if I got a new red NT1100 and to be honest I can see the attraction.  Funds don’t allow so it will remain a wish.     Got the key blank £13 which I thought was okay for a Honda part.  Then headed back to St Austell to get the thing cut, which took seconds and cost a fiver.   Cheapest vehicle key I have got in recent years   👍

After the key cutting Costa was the next call to sweeten grumpy boots up.   

IMG_2038.thumb.jpeg.3878ce9a67a465e26d963f7141a8b4ea.jpeg

After this faff we had to go to Holmbush Post Office to get a postal order and post off my other daughters driving licence application.   The nearest office to Fowey FFS.   Normally you can do the payment online but because she hasn’t got a birth certificate which was replaced by her adoption certificate you have to send a cheque or postal order to Swansea.   Of course my bank has stopped issuing cheque books for my convenience.  Bloody lash up but that is the way it works.    £51 and out of there.   

After that back home to swop bikes. 

IMG_2039.thumb.jpeg.6b025b5f5e931d7baa0595b233605c64.jpeg

Now we headed down to Golant for Chloe’s first ever riding lesson, in fact the first time ever she has been on the business end of a motorcycle.    Before you ask it is a private lane where her grandmother lives.  Made some good progress I thought. Taught her lots of basics but she has mastered clutch control and braking.  A small step but she did very well, the first step is always the hardest.  

IMG_2044.thumb.jpeg.1376c0ac701de8545a22a450dcde1a0d.jpeg
 

After about 45 minutes she was frazzled plus we had to head back to Fowey as she had a dentist appointment.     All good and she was hungry again so I bought her an ice cream from Game of Cones and a tea.   Holidaymaker prices it was a £10 FFS.

Finally while I was finishing my tea Chloe gets on the bike and says ‘now the bikes legal I can drive you up the hill’.   I pointed out she was 16 with no licence and no insurance.   Also she doesn’t know how to change gear yet.   ‘Oh’ was the reply but I gave her credit for trying.  
Anyway it was a good if expensive day but I am absolutely knackered.   Apparently she wants her next lesson on Thursday as the is the next break in the weather.   I don’t mind we get on well but I have told her the goodie runs won’t happen every time.

That's brilliant, sounds like she has such a passion to get out riding that many people will never have, I hope once/if she ever gets a car it won't dampen her love of bikes as is often the way, I think tomorrow I will use the bike for work, hopefully the weather will be OK though I do have wet weather gear I could use

She loves everything bikes and to be honest it's nice to have something in common with one of my kids.   At a junction today we pulled up behind a CBR1100XX, I pointed to it and told her what it was and that it was a bike I would like.  She was up for it "Have him Dad!".  I told her no.  I don't do that shit anymore, especially with one of my kids on the back.  Plus I was around 60 BHP short.  🤣   I will lecture her about sensible road behaviour when she is closer to being on the road, don't want to come across as a killjoy to soon, I will let her have the shit talk for now.   But she has passion and I can genuinely see her following it on to a full licence eventually.  She has told me she wants the Hornet when I die 😳 hopefully not to soon.

Sounds like she's already swung her leg over the front seat of the Hornet whether you're dead or not.

 

What's the saying?

Wouldn't surprise me, I know where the keys are at all times.   And if I'm honest I was riding my XS750 back in the day before I passed my test, until my Grandad caught me and bubbled me to my Dad.  I am conscious of the hypocrisy🤣
