Two days later
Friday
The Farm

We were back up at The Farm.

Chloe was having her second motorcycle lesson. For this a field wouldn't be adequate, but to start with, I sent her to complete ten circuits of the field, to get herself re-acquainted with the motorcycle. Again, we had driven up on the BMW and I sat with Jack, enjoying a coffee while Chloe started the motorcycle herself and set off riding around the field.

"She's progressing well!" Jack said, approvingly. "You're a good teacher Mindy; Damon would have been very proud!"

I felt myself blushing at the compliment!

I had sent a copy of the video that Jack filmed last time, to Marcus. The asshole actually asked if the video was R-rated and would there be a lot of blood! Just because I was training somebody in the damn video, does not mean it's going to be all bloody! Marcus watched the video and said he was actually very impressed with me and said my Daddy would have been very proud, too! He also said it was very normal, for a change!

Once Chloe had completed her circuits, I got on my BMW and led her out a back gate; we were going off-road, along a track beside the river. This would take us several miles out and back. It would give Chloe a good run and let her experience off-road riding. Plus, I could exercise my new motorcycle! I was looking forward to this, as Dave's BMW was in the mail! This would mean that we could both go out together, which would be great fun!

I had obtained some GoPro Hero4 Cameras and attached a pair, in waterproof mounts, to the front and rear of my BMW, so I could film the ride. I had done the same to Chloe's motorcycle. There should be some interesting footage later, as my cameras were also connected into our comms system. My motorcycle had a Fusion radio in the left Pannier, with an aerial mounted on the top box. I had lunch packed into that top box, too, as well as some other emergency accessories!

..._...

We started off along a track making idle gossip. Chloe kept bringing Josh into the conversation. It appeared that she was looking forward to going back to school next week, as she wanted to see her friends and show Josh off to them! Apparently, she would have the hottest boyfriend in the grade and the best bit was that he was British! We rode along the extremely twisty route for about four miles, before we pulled up.

"You enjoying yourself?" I asked.

"Awesome!" Exclaimed a grinning Chloe.

"Let's try some more slow speed manoeuvring. That is very important to learn, so you can control a heavy motorcycle at very low speeds," I said. We moved off slowly and I had Chloe play 'follow the leader' with me, as I led her in ever increasingly tight and slow turns. Once or twice Chloe had to put her feet down, to stabilise the motorcycle, but she did very well otherwise and her balance was brilliant.

We stopped for lunch beside the river and enjoyed some sandwiches. It had been a great morning.

"So... What does this personal training, you have in mind for Josh, involve...?" I asked, innocently. "Keeping up Anglo/American sexual relations?"

Chloe almost choked on her sandwich and her eyes bulged out.

"Mindy... I... I don't know..." Chloe stammered, before blushing and running out of steam.

"Aww, you are so sweet!"

"Mindy!" Chloe growled dangerously.

"Watching you shows me what I missed out on, growing up and I'm starting to regret it. You actually make me feel more like a normal girl everyday! That sounds weird, sorry."

"No it doesn't, Mindy. You helped me get my life back on track. Without you I would never have found Joshua and he might now be dead, ignoring you trying to cut his head off, of course!" Chloe said, grinning.

"Do you have to keep bringing that back up? I apologised to the kid, I even treated his wound!" I moaned.

"You still owe me for that slap, Hit Girl!" Chloe said smugly, rubbing her cheek.

"Jeez! Hit Girl's being held for ransom by a fourteen year-old girl!" I grimaced.

"Oh yeah!" Chloe said, smiling.

"Okay, Shadow get your ass back on that damn motorcycle, you can dream about riding Josh, later!" I said.

Chloe gave me a very nasty look indeed!

It was almost two, by the time we got back to The Farm and Chloe was exhausted. I had made her ride over some quite rough terrain, including tight corners and steep drops.

Later that afternoon
The Farm

Now it was Joshua's turn to learn!

I had bought Joshua some motorcycle leathers, in dark grey, with gauntlets, boots and a black helmet. His jacket and trousers had a composite armour lining, just like Chloe's and mine. He also now had his own personal concealed comms, which linked back via a Fusion radio installed at The Farm.

As with Chloe, I explained the circuit in the field, which Josh had already seen Chloe use, but going over it again was important.

Josh explained that he had had some limited experience with motorcycles and had ridden smaller scramblers, years before. I pointed out the essentials of the motorcycle: ignition switch, clutch lever, front brake, throttle grip, engine stop button, rear brake pedal, gear shift lever, fuel valve and kickstarter, as I had done with Chloe. I showed Josh the positions of the gear shift lever; horizontal for neutral, first gear, one notch down and then second to fifth gears above the neutral position. I explained how the clutch operated and let Josh pull the clutch lever, then push down on the gear change lever.

"Ready?" I asked, smiling encouragingly.

"I was born ready!" Josh said, with enthusiasm.

"Let the clutch in gently. Remember, when you stop you must pull the clutch lever or you will stall. Ignore the front brake for now; use the rear brake, down here. Twist the throttle backward to go faster and twist it forwards to go slower."

"Okay," Josh acknowledged.

"Don't look at the front tyre, try to look ahead and don't worry if you fall, okay?"

Josh nodded and started to look a little apprehensive.

"Apply a little gas, then let in the clutch gently! Try and follow the course, keeping it slow and don't forget, we drive on the right over here!," I said, laughing.

"Yeah, the wrong side of the bloody road!" Josh scowled.

I watched as Josh twisted the throttle gently and let in the clutch... He moved, reasonably smoothly too, which was impressive. He hadn't been lying about riding before. Jack was filming Josh with a camera, just in case he fell off! Josh managed a full circuit, before coming to a halt beside me, pulling in the clutch without stalling.

"Not bad, Josh," Chloe said, smiling.

"Very good!" I agreed, impressed.

"That was cool! I'd forgotten what it was like. My Dad used to take me on small scramblers, when I was about nine or ten," Josh explained, looking a little sad for a moment, before smiling.

"Okay, lets see you work up the gears, then," I said, encouragingly.

Josh went back out and worked his way up to third gear, quite successfully and managed two circuits, before he shifted down and came to a stop beside Chloe and I.

"You are a natural Josh, I am impressed; you're not the dumb shit, Chloe said you were!" I teased.

"I never said that!" Chloe exclaimed indignantly.

"Just fuckin' with ya!" I laughed.

"Thanks, Mindy. I enjoyed that, hopefully when I'm fully healed I'll be able to go out on a motorcycle properly," Josh said, smiling.

"No problem, Josh, "I said, smiling back.

I think I have some more shopping to do! With all this spending I'm gonna need to go out and get some more cash from those generous drug dealers!
