Took my daughter out on the back today .

She's ridden pillion before but only for 5 mins , this ride was for a good hour and we covered some nice roads . She's great as a pillion passenger as she's a lot smaller than my wife and my son and she's so light I hardly notice she's there.

We had a good time

She's 10 going on 11 Steve , but we do the full safety breif before we get on the bike and I told her 'if I feel your not holding on tight , we're going straight home!'

Only got one girl , she's special

That's real cool hawkman.... I'm sure she had fun.
Seth is 10 and he would love for me to take him out. I have a couple old helmets and gear, but it obviously won't fit him.
I've been looking to get him geared up soon, though.
I've also had a little apprehension for fear of exactly what classic was talking about. Not so much the wind, but I can see him rubbernecking at some girl and falling off or some chit... LOL..

Sprock......

I'll make sure to bring the boy up in a few yrs to meet your girls.... I'm sure he'd like that. Hell, maybe they'd fall in love and I could make your life a living hell forever....
(I can hear you now... "Listen up girls! While you live under my roof, you will never date anyone named Seth! Don't ask why.... just trust me."

Indy,
I'm in the process of picking out some spool stands, too. Let me know how those work out. I saw a set in harbor freight the other day I was thinking about picking up. They are definitely nice to have. Especially since my other bike had no center stand..

Sprock,

Here are the pics your after mate. The mic measures about 2cm square

without the foam thing on the end. The other pic shows the layout of the

full set on the helmet. Excellent product. Came in very handy on the

weekend with the young bloke on the back.

No worries. Have a look here mate. They sell em for the same price I paid at the GP

with free shipping. I got the teamset. There is a dearer set but the teamset was

good enuf for what I need it for. Cheers.
