Not A Happy Bunny {:o(

[TOWIE]

My son has just informed me he is buying a motorbike......really not happy about it.

[tonyav]

Yep, all motor sport is expensive, Den.

[Prudie]

I'd be very unhappy too Towie. No amount of protective clothing and advanced training can help with other bad drivers.

[TOWIE]

though the lad in question, Tone, now has sponsorship and has just tested a Formula 1 racing car - watch this space - up and coming FM1 champion.

[tonyav]

Yeah Den, you have to be very good to get to that stage. I'll keep me eye out.

[albaqwerty]

ooh Den, if it's the lad in question who was on TV a couple of weeks ago, I wish him all success and fortune (if it wasn't then I wish the same for your son's pal)

[Barmaid]

Prudie - training can help. OK it's never going to protect you from the most serious idiot, but motorbike training is SO different to driving lessons in a car. As I say, my mate has been a biker for 40 years and only had one minor accident. It's all about risk reduction.

If we all stopped doing things that had a risk attached, none of us would ever do anything.

[TOWIE]

he has been on TV, Alba was interviewed by the BBC.

[Dee Sa]

I know how you feel, went thru all that too luckily he soon progressed to four wheels.
In your son's defence he does have a point the traffic on the A13 in the mornings is horrendous and the bikes do get thru fairly easily and returning home same route on a Friday after 3pm must be a nightmare for everyone.

[TOWIE]

Hello Dee - he already drives a Mercedes, so has been on four wheels for a few years now - just don't feel happy about a motorbike.

How old is your son?
