Here's my souvenir from my £1000 visit to the transmission shop

Notice the bearing at 12 o'clock, you can see that it is completely chewed up

Yes, the differential bearings from deep within the transmission.

Tami, that looks like trouble brewing!  I really like the pink shorts and t shirt attire.  Please make her wear proper clothes before riding that thing,  I'm sure she knows that though.....

So much trouble in my life was caused by motorcycles and mopeds, but I fortunately never got hurt really badly. Sure did spend a lot of money

She can't ride right now as she doesn't have her license yet. But she'll be properly suited up. She's from a family of bikers and has been riding since she was 3.

That was my first reaction too, glad to hear you've got it covered! Don't let her forget the helmet though.  :)

If she's been on the back of bikes since age 3, then it probably feels like a natural progression!
I'm sure it does freak you out though. But, as long as she's as safe as she can be ,then that's all you can ask for  :)

No. She's been driving motorcycles since she was 3. Lol. We got the kids their first motorcycles when they were 3, 5 and 7.

This will be her first road bike.

Driving motorcycles?  Don't you ride a motorcycle?  I'm sure your biker credentials are higher than mine, but still....

No, Tami had the terminology correct the first time. It was me who was the numpty, so she clarified for me  ;D
