it's a Rose thing.

Since a young boy I have all ways had the urge to go find adventure!

Being one of two sons with only a year between my self and my younger sibling we all ways looked to our father to teach or show us something that would light our imaginations and keep is entertained!

                                   

One of my earliest and strongest traits I have got is my interest in motorbikes.

My father and his before him have all ways had motorbikes in the family..... We have all ways had the ambitions and dreams to build...own...and ride these two wheeled death machines as some people may say.

It's a Rose thing to throw caution to the wind and do it!

It's a feeling I can not describe.... Yes I have a higher chance of getting injured or killed and yes being a father I think about that a lot... How ever if my time is up....MY Time is up, I can't stop that.

There's no better feeling of throwing your self into a corner or a high speed manoeuvre as you weave between obstacles on a track or road! A sense of danger comes over you but you have to just embrace it as it's what I'm here for... That Cheshire Cat smile I have when you are so close to a fine line of staying on the bike or finding your self in a tree.

                           

Riding is a way of life for a man in the Rose family as a young boy I believe at 9 years old my father bought my self and my brother our first motorbike... It little 50cc red moto monkey dirt bike... We couldn't believe what a Christmas present this was.. With in my young years my father took us up and down the country as he raced his favourite motorcycles across the number of different tracks hoping to clinch a championship. This has given me such a large spectrum on life with all those different people I have met some older and younger but we all had the same thing in common of motorcycles and speed.

As I am a father I hope to raise my young Leo in the same way.... As he is a Rose and he is all ready showing an interest in these two wheeled machines... The basics of sitting with me on a Sunday and watching the MOTO GP and watching his little smile on his face as he sees some of these motorcycle go crashing through the air or his affiliation of calling them trains as he sees 12-20 bikes all head in a single line into a corner. ( I see what he means)

He all ready has a desire to copy what i do.. Such as times when I'm unloading my bike.....S.... Into the garage he is so keen to jump with me and do as I do!

I hope as he grows he will want to learn to ride and love the thrill of riding and i will all ways be there to show him how and to pick him.

With 2015 sitting on the horizon and Leo's 4th birthday next year I'm hoping to get the teaching of these two wheeled machines under way.... May be a start on a push bike at Christmas and then for his 4th birthday a motorbike!

What do you think? Are your children learning to ride and what obstacles are you coming across... Is any one against you teaching your children to ride? 

                          

I hope as me and leo grow we will become more than just father and son but best friends and will be able to talk about anything and everything!

What are your thoughts and feelings on motorbikes and teaching children to ride safely but have fun?

Yours sincerely Luke!
