Are the screws on windscreen for the L plate mandatory ?

Not mandatory, just wanted it properly secured..   Could possibly put some shorter ones in I suppose.

Who says it's anything to do with my vanity you daft celtic twat.  You should know well enough what teenage girls are like when it comes to being fussy.  🤣

Nice, that will probably also help with wind buffeting when she goes out on her own the first time and tries to be the fastest motorcycle ever in the first downhill.

Well I haven’t seen her for 3 days.    I did see the bike this morning when I got home from work so she has been home.    Taking her Freedom and embracing it.    I don’t mind at all Twas exactly what I was doing at her age.

Well Shadow has survived her first few days and is loving her freedom.    Me not so much, but I am pleased for her and not quite so stressed every time so goes out.  Did make me smile when I saw her bike parked like this tonight 😉

Very cool, can’t imagine how proud you are. Good on you for not following her around in search of riding errors!

No, so very tempted to do so but she has to learn for herself, of course I will help if asked.   She has done several thousand miles as a pillion this year so hopefully learnt a bit from that

How time Flys...reminds of things I've gone through with my boys...but it was double trouble...lol...two motocycle license at one time and two car car liscen shortly after....I'm just glad they've turned out ok and haven't fallen into a life of drugs and misery...one did for a short wyll around the age of 18...but I was fortunate enough to get him back on the straight line...he got a good scare at the time...had a seizure from the drug he was on...lost his license for about six months ....that cured him...

Had to go on a rescue mission last night.    Shadow was up her boyfriends and left to head home at 21:30 only to find the main road back had been closed for work.    She decided to find a way around and got lost in the lanes around Luxulyan woods.   Rang me in tears and scared.   I said can she go back the way she came, which she managed and found her way back to Luxulyan, buy that time I got there a different way and lead her home on the CBF.     When we got home I showed her some alternative routes she could have takes on Google maps and street view.      
Sometimes the grown up veneer slips but it’s good to be the dad and rescue her, all over it this morning lippy and confident as ever.    Was nice to have the little girl back if even only for a short time.  😉

Does she have a phone mount on her handlebars, to put navigation on her phone?

Good on you for saving the night! Bet it felt good that she called you instead of the boyfriend?

She does have a phone mount on her bars and a Quadlock case, but has never used it and never had a charging cable.  I'm going to get her to spend an hour with me and teach how to use it for future reference.   I am chuffed she rang me first, but she would never ring her boyfriend for help that would show weakness and believe me she is in charge.    She is that type of small angry female.  🤣

They do not get less of a problem as they age, my daughter is 40 now, i still get the " can you take a look at the car/tap/washer/lawnmower/cupboard drawer/doors/toilet seat" and many other things.

It would help if her husband had more mechanical ability than a Chimp.

But I do not mind doing it.....mostly.
