Not sure if I'm putting this in the right forum. Those of you who attended the M/cr night out, met my friend Alison. Alison is one of a very few friends who truly supported me in my learning to ride a motorbike and her encouragement has been worth its weight. I would love to do something a little special and different for her birthday on Sat 20 April. Alison used to pillion a long time ago with an old boyfriend. she hasn't had the opportunity since. She is unable to learn to ride as she is registered blind. Now I know that she loved being on a bike and would love to do it again. Thing is I can't take her as a pillion as i only passed in July 2012, plus I've not got the riding experience either. Is there anyone (or more) who would be up for taking her out on a ride around as a pillion on her birthday (or the Sunday). I'd like to see if i could get her on as many different bikes as I can in one day, but I know that is probably a bit much to ask. Would anyone be up for this? Just thought I'd ask. Ta RB

RB I am working that day otherwise I would definitely have been pleased to do it, However I think if you put it as a bm rideout, explaining what it is, on events page I would bet you would have more offers than you would know what to do with. she could have a choice. And we all know bm members like a good excuse for a ride and chinwag

Cheers everyone. @non hot male - honey, you are sooooo on the list. and I will make it the Saturday (which is her actual birthday) as I know Ali would love to see you. I will PM you about it. @Petewick - that is such a good idea. I thought I would see if anyone was able to help first and haven't even thought about details yet. I will however float the idea by Sandi and see if we can get it on the events calendar. I am very much open to suggestions and ideas of what people would suggest with regard to meet up etc having never been on a ride out or done anything like this before. Sandi - would it be easier if I posted again in events. The day will be Saturday April 20. RB

Just a thought Jo.

How are you going to convince her she needs to wear bike clobber to do trapezing?

This I've got to see.

Right-e-oh
This is now set for saturday 20 april. Non hotmale has agreed to play "mum"

The idea would be to meet somewhere easy for anyone who wants to come along.

Lunch will be fish and chips.

I would be very much appreciate route/trip suggestions.....bearing in mind that there may be a range of experience.....I'm still new to this myself.

All help gratefully accepted
