Karen Ramsay points out we’re surrounded by motivational people, if only we take the time to look.

Cold, wet and foggy. Perfect weather for the pink handguards and no problem for Karen, solo or in a group.

I didn’t grow up in a motor-cycling family. At one stage during my childhood Dad had a farm bike with a homemade sidecar. In truth it was a metal box for carting tools and parts around the farm, but he’d also take us for little joy rides up and down the track beside the house. I seem to recall that stopped when Mum took my sister for a ride. The sidecar and bike began parting company and they ended up through a barbed-wire fence.
