He motions for her to get in front, and he gets on behind her. "Now, what you want to do is see this here, that's the throttle, you want to ease it out just a little bit. Not too much, because if you run this too fast and you don't know how, you can run into a tree or something and get killed. So take it easy until you get the feel of it. That's right, easy to start." They drive on about another couple of kilometers, until they get to a crossroad. "Okay, stop here." He gets off. "I'm going to give you a chance to try this solo. Now, remember what I said, take it slow. Go down this road a piece, then do a u-turn and come back." She does, and when she comes back she has a great big grin on her face. "It is fun, isn't it?" She nods. "Just remember what I said, take it easy and work up to it as you get better at it. There's an old saying, just like..." he stopped himself before he said ‘pilots' as she'd think he's kidding again, or still in character, "people who work with dangerous equipment. There are old motorcycle riders. There are bold motorcycle riders. But there are no old, bold motorcycle riders."
