On yer motorbike, William

I HoPe Kate’s fears about Prince william riding his motorbike don’t discourage him from continuing his enjoyment of it or prevent Prince George if he shows an interest when older.

Horses are far more dangerous than motorbikes as there are two heads involved when riding a horse, rather than just one controlling a motorbike.

I remember being very frightened when a horse bolted, with me narrowly avoiding falling off on to a tarmac road, which might have resulted in permanent, life-threatening injury.

Simply crossing a very busy road with the increased heavy volume of traffic can be risky, but you can’t stay indoors for ever, worrying you might be fatally injured.

My late father was a keen motorcyclist for many years, and my brother has enjoyed motorcycling since his mid-teens and takes pride in restoring vintage british motorbikes.

every May, he used to travel with friends to the Isle of Man to watch the tt races and made many good

friends with other motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world.

This summer, my brother and sister-in-law spent two weeks touring Spain on a Triumph Bonneville, enjoying a memorable holiday without the worry of traffic jams and parking.

Where would all the dispatch motorcyclists have been during both world wars if their mothers had tried to prevent them from riding?

There is an old english saying that Kate should learn: ‘ You can’t keep a good dog on a short lead.’ William sounds rather henpecked.
