Birthday present

Hi Everyone,

My wife will be 65 in november and has always expressed a wish to go for a motorcycle ride (as passenger) wearing red leathers - memories of a far more interesting youth than I had!

I don’t ride a bike so cannot assist in any way other than via my wallet.

We live in North London: would anyone be interested in being the chauffer and suppling the red leathers (size 16, height 5’) for about a 30 minute journey at lunch time on November 16th.

Thanks

I can’t help with the leathers, but I might be able to help with the motorcycle ride. :slight_smile:

That’s a nice wish - and well done you for planning ahead! Again, like Scorch, I don’t have the leathers, but would be happy to chauffeur if you get the leathers sorted.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! That is so cute!

i think it should be a rideout!!! i’d love to come with!!!

i’m sure you’ll find the leathers by then.

i think this should be in general section?

Yeah let’s make it a rideout!

We have to get her on a Ducati… PJ? :cool:

Cool idea - give her an honour guard of a few other bikes (and maybe the OP can get on a ride too!)

Looks like the bike is going to be easier to find than the leathers:ermm:

welcome

Find the leathers and get in touch.

I am LB`s most established transporter of of over 60s ladies, having had plenty of past experience at this fine art.

I’m based in North London too and can easily be available at lunchtime.

My reputation is impeccable, Julie (under 60 but mature) and Ali (a spring chicken known as Smasher) can attest to the comfort of the Daytona’s rear seat and my gentle handling of the fair sex.

Looking forward to a 65yr old in red leathers.:slight_smile:

brilliant. good luck with it.

Easy tiger!!!

I’ve seen Jetstream “in action”. I have to say - he handles the ladies well… I doubt he gets many complaints :slight_smile:

my vote goes to mr J as well.

as for the red leathers, maybe better chances to check which equivalent on man’s size is a 16, as there’s more around.

You could try these people to see if you could hire some leathers…http://www.essexbikerscentre.com/

Good find.

I can also vouch for Jetstream’s offer - he is indeed a gentleman and your precious cargo will be in very safe hands. Good luck!

I’d offer her a pillion on the Bonneville, unfortunately the 16th November is a Friday and some of us still have to go to work :frowning:

If you manage to sort the red leathers or even if you don’t, go with Mr Jetstreams offer, his Daytona is probably the second best Triumph on LB :wink: and she’ll be in safe hands. Just insist Mr J carries out his pre-ride checks - tyre pressures, oil levels, cat radar etc.

Have a happy birthday Mrs John1952
