This suggestion has some merit. Bit of a fait accomplis if you can turn round and tell them that not only are you riding a motorbike, but you also passed your big bike test.

if your gonna tell them just explain that you enjoy riding, you ride safely, have correct equipment and have passed/ will pass test etc. dont mention speeding or any close calls etc.

also explain that is your choice and they can't change your mind.

or just dont tell them and lead a double life Wink

My mum isn't going to be overjoyed, but then like everyone says, we're adults. I can handle her being a little pissed off for a while.....
