My son the criminal

jess jephcott, 15 February 2013 15:30

An interesting situation is developing in our lives at the moment - I would welcome comment about it. Last June, my 17-year-old son went to a local supermarket on his motorcycle to use the cash machine. Whilst in the car park he was hit by a car, knocked off and injured.

Supermarkets make bikes rough

Nathan Lewis, 01 April 2011 16:31

Been only 17 you expect me to have not much money (correct) so I tend to find the cheapest deal, be it insurance, oil or fuel. Recently I went to get my bike checked because it was running a bit rough, only to be told not to buy supermarket fuel. So I took the advice on this and bought some fuel ...
