I used to hide bikes from my parents at friends houses, but that was because I didn't yet have a license to ride them, so I could only go home on a 125cc or below. Other than that my parents telling me I couldn't have a bike would have been just a tad hypocritical!

I realise I'm now going to have the same issue with my own son. I'll have to let him have a bike if he wants one. I'll do the same in both car and bike as my old man did, and from the age of about 10/11 onwards he'll be the one making all the decisions and pointing out all the hazards when in the car or on pillion. Makes you a terrible back seat driver, but at least I'll know he's equipped to deal with the road better when he hits 16/17.
