Fantastic! I've been riding with my kids as pillions since they were about 8, and taking them on euro tours from 13. Last year my son was 17 and bought an MT125. Passed his test so he could take off the L plates and join me on a euro trip to Belgium to see the WW1 sites. Have to admit I was pretty nervous on his behalf for the first couple of days, but he was absolutely fine and we had an awesome trip, even at 125 speeds!

Thats brilliant My daughter is taking her car driving test (boo!) next month, but she promises me as soon as she's passed that one, that she'll be taking her bike test so she can use the major road network. I bet you and your son had real quality daddy/offspring time .. I'm going to suggest this (and use this post as proof!) to my daughter. Hopefully I'll be able to add some foreign pics to this soon.

Any pointers on good helmets and kit for kids?

I'd stick to textiles until they've stopped growing .. either that or buy some leathers and stop feeding them... Biggest issue we has was in footwear. You buy a size 3 in June, and by September they're in a 4. I can see a case for binding feet like the Chinese (used to?) do - some good ideas came out of China.

As long as they're safe and comfortable (in that order) I'd go for the value for money option. Coke, lollipops and mashed up fish and chips will ruin whatever they're wearing anyway.

I see you made MCN with this [emoji3]

 

[FreudianSlip]

Wow! Never noticed - read straight past that page Thanks for being eagle-eyed - daughter is well chuffed

Also - note the forum stickers - shame the MCN picture isnt a bit higher resolution.

Is there a link to the MCN pic or is it print version only?
