When I was coming up for my 16th birthday and
wanted to ask my dad if I could have a bike (Those were the days when you asked
permission from your parents) I leant against the mantle piece on which stood
the trophies that he had won for trials riding on his Red Hunter.. It made it
harder for him if he wanted to say no. fortunately he said "Of course you can".
the only proviso was that I didn't buy a scooter

Lots of questions, Laura!?
?
Greenlaning/trail riding is not the same as
trials & trials is not the same as motocross.? Have a look for the
TRF website for an idea of trails/greenlaning.? Trials is more about
getting around sections and you lose points for having to put your foot
down.? My Dad used to marshall at trials events and we used to get
"dragged" around with him; although I enjoyed it I'm not so sure about my mum
and brother. I want to try trials and trails - they both appeal.? I told
my Dad I wanted to try trials, thinking he'd be pleased but he was quite
worried.? He reckons its a family trait that Clarkes don't bounce when
they fall off, they just go splat!? I'll just have to try not to fall off
much, then :-)
?
We're off to the BSA international rally in
Belgium next Friday.? Unfortunately, I haven't got my BSA sorted and
Jon's developed an alarming rattle from the engine the other day so neither of
us will be on BSAs -?just have to?hope we won't get kicked off the
site!
?
I'm average height (5'5" ish) but shortish legs -
just long enough to reach the ground though.? The F650 isn't really low
like a cruiser.? I think I've seen a few favourable reviews of it by
women riders.
