Well done, BUT...

BUY A HELMET

 & LOCK UP THE KEYS.

Young men are easily "dared" to go for 'just a short spin', which potentially means driving without road training, mot, insurance, or protection. Just takes one clown in a BMW to change lanes at the wrong moment, and he's history. Sorry but It Happens.

Am I a dampener on his fun? Poss yes, but I had a motorbike accident a few years ago. I had passed my test, was wearing all the kit, leather flying jacket and helmet, but came off on a corner. I ended up in Hospital, out for the count for 3 days, with a fractured skull and broken collar bone. My Mum was worried sick.

No this could be good a chance to teach the responsibility bit. Today's roads are too crowed and full of idiots to risk a young life.

best of luck

Believe me, all covered. In the meantime I am waiting for the reg no and tax, I will insure it and we have some access to area's where he can have a go, in a supervised invironment. My brother is a ROSPA and IAM instructor and I have had bikes for over 30 years. :y

Good, you have it covered. My sisters son was "dared" by a friend to borrow his mums triumph GT6 for a short test drive. You can guess the outcome, car written off, he totally screwed up his last year at school, which affected his further training prospects, and instead of a potentially good career, he is working late shift at a shop.

Turning a corner, do you put your hand out before or half way round the corner ?.       ;D ;D ;D

Have fun
