Both my parents rode bikes most of their lives. I find that most people who are against bikes also are scared to ride them. Yet most of those will ride a bicycle.

Now here's a fun statistic.

In 2012 125 motorcyclists were killed on the roads.
In 2012 122 cyclists were killed on the roads.

So what's safe then?????

I have a thing against motorbikes since my 18yr old cousin was killed on one - a lorry ploughed through a red light straight into him. I accept that statisitically mine is an irrational fear but I really don't like them, and poor Mick had to get rid of his scrambler when we got together. I don't know how I'd feel if one of my kids wanted one, luckily so far that hasn't been an issue :oops: :oops:

Glad you enjoyed yourself Ally, on Corfu we saw people zooming about without helmets or leathers, zipping in and out of traffic with passengers clinging on!
