Default mummies little soldier

Well he is 21 today, so as well as the BMW 320 she bought him when he was 18 (smashed up 3 times since), she has just bought him an 08 R1.

What the hell must she be paying for his insurance. The idiot has just rode it past my window 3 times without a helmet on.

I wish mummy would buy me a new bike.

I hate my neighbours when they pander to spoilt little boys and every other kid then expects the same.

My friends at school use to get everything they wanted and i had a stage of thinking my parents were really unfair and not love me as much.

But i think i have learnt the better lesson compaired to them.

I have to pay for everything that i want, I can't just call my parents to give me money!!!!! And it means i understand what things cost and that money doesn't grow on that tree at the end of the garden. I can't wait for when my mates move out of home (like i have) and find out why i don't have money to blow on pointless carp like they do.

While your neighbour is at it........ I'd like ..................................................

yeah, but despite one putting him in hospital and the police prosecuting him "it wasn't his fault"

Yes he can ride a bike. He was on a restricted r6 for 2 years and the past 2 years on full power

+1, only it was my sisters too. Its a good lesson to learn, I feel. Its been invaluable for me, and I think my sisters need to learn it.

Mummie sounds soft in the head..

I know a lad whos gone from passing his test in March to getting an R1 last month. I know that some will say that its the throttle which controls the power, but when its such a focused bike, I dont think it really aids new riders.
