Hello Jacob,
Hey my friend.
Great to hear that you are still going strong!
Hahaha, Once a biker, always a biker!
I am still some times thinking of all the hours we shared the time when we were
together at Guide Dogs With Arlene an Ken. when I received my Princess Liara!
The eight of us have some rather good memories of that time. Remember our
chokalade fountain evening and the lot of us with blackbags as protection
against the dripping sweet things, hahaha!
Yes, my Liara turned 11 years on the fith of November this year. She is still
such a Great Lady.
Go Well Jacob?
Magda Felgate.
Smily face with hugging hands!

Hettie, that would really be up to you, but, I would also insist that
you had decent protective gear - for my first two rides, I wore full
leathers, etc., and, for the last two offroad rides, at least wore
jeans, a leather jacket, gloves and a decent helmet...<smile>
Stay well

Wanna give me a lift?
I had 3 bike rides in my life:
The first was at the back of my cousin's bike. My brother was shocked
and crossed as those days only "Sheilas" ride at the back with a man
in front.... I enjoyed it.
The second was on a friend's Harley Davidson when he took turns
giving us lifts on his new toy. I was surprised at the comfort of the
seat. I enjoyed that too.
The last was at the back on a quad bike on a farm. I was a little
nervous as we drove on rather uneven farm roads. But I enjoyed the
ride too.

Ag, it was fun, and, no, besides the one scratch on my hand, there
was no damage - and, yes, while had jeans on along with decent doc
marten boots, I had a decent leather jacket on, with proper armour
inserts, and, a decent helmet, and, was wearing good quality biking
gloves when was actually riding myself...<smile>

Took a solo ride on a full-on off-road motorbike again today.
On the way to riding area - just off a form of resort in
Magaliesberg - we went down, since think the bike wasn't meant for
two people on a single-person offroad bike, and with no passenger
footpegs, so think the rear-end bottomed out, or something, but,
no damage/worries there, besides a bit of a scratch on my one
hand, since didn't have gloves on yet, but, nothing major.
Anyway, rode around an area approximately the size of a rugby
field, and it was full-on bundu-bashing - level area, but, fully
uneven, and, ended up doing roundabout 2km overall, riding solo
with guys talking to me via cellphone, and, only stopped off
roundabout 4-5 times, in total, with them just telling me to head
roundabout 15, or 30 or 90 degrees to left, or right, during ride,
and, got up to second gear at one stage, but, bike wouldn't
coopperate then when tried to change direction, so dropped back
down to first gear.
Main thing was not trying to control handlebars too firmly - let
them flex, or jump a bit, etc., and maybe rather control bike with
balance/body-weight, or something, but, yes, overall, went well,
and, now, at just after 11PM, am still smiling... ;)
Once a biker, always a biker!
