I taught a girlfriend to ride a bike when she was 18.. Despite falling off on tarmac and scraping and bruising her protruding bits, she was determined to conquer it, and learned successfully in one day... She was a very ambitious and motivated young woman [top A level and degree grades], and soon progressed to buying her own powerful fast motorbike.. Not for me, I've never risked getting on one because I wouldn't trust myself at such speeds, and I was working in an artificial limbs clinic with bikers my age.. ...Of course she eventually left me behind to meet and settle down with my much calmer mrs who is as undriven and laid back as me...
