Growing old is a privilege. Being called Granddad is an honour. Not only was this Laura's first ride on a motorcycle, she got to be the first ever pillion on the new bike.
This is what started me on my path through the world of motorcycles, I was pillion as a kid, only once, but it sparked a life long love and obsession. Great to see another generation dipping their toe in. Soon she will be a biker herself, and enjoy the 2 wheel therapy we all need sometimes in today's world. Perhaps pointing her in the direction of some female riders on RU-vid will inspire her too. It is a growing community, more and more female motovloggers seem to pop up every day.
Now you´re the coolest Grandpa on earth, I reckon! My younger daughter (now 17) even picks the right bike for the intended roads by now - the trusty DR 650 for the narrow squirrely stuff and the Griso for open and faster bends ...
I think i've taken 5 or 6 people on their first ride....it returns me to the time i first got on a bike. Next year, the grandkids are coming over....now, that'll be fun!!
Beautiful. I remember the first ride you took me on, on the K bike up to the grandparents, and I had to thump you to pull over on SH1 when I realised I hadn’t done up my helmet strap and I thought it was gonna blow off my head hahaha
Nice bike. Did you trade the old Guzzi in? I took my granddaughter for her first ride about 6 months ago as well. It's different having precious cargo on the back.
