She's never been out on a bike ever so I'm a bit anxious.

Middle aged men are the most likely to be involved in a bike accident :thumbsup:. The reason behind it being I would assume do the DAS go get them selves a brand new fireblade. Or born again bikers doing the same. 17 year olds arent just restricted with the power but what they can afford to buy and insure etc;)

Re: First pillion
 

Yeah, but who is more likely to have a fatal accident? I don't know the answer, but if you can find a statistic somewhere it'd be interesting. Thing is though we are comparing with the first 10 years after passing the test at 17, so you'd have to find the right statistics. I reckon if you can ride since 17 and live past 40 you'll ride bikes 'til you're 85, and probably crash with a fraction of the frequency in those latter 45 years.

Anyway Ed's past being middle aged now ;):D

Re: First pillion
 

According to the tinternets fatal accidents are most likely to occur to a sports bike rider aged between the ages of 26 - 40. So the first 9 years are perfectly safe.

Re: First pillion
 

So in a year and a half i should be safe ;)

Re: First pillion
 

Bloody typical! :rambo:

Re: First pillion
 

I'm safe for another 8 years and 3 months....If I'm lucky I wont have to wait that long...
