Which foot do you use??

[Flipfly]

I have actually... and now you come to mention it.. it did do pretty much what it wanted

You were lucky

Used to have a couple of the wretched mules when I was a kid. You'd be galloping along and it'd just stop dead throwing ya off. Have a look in the grass and there would be a grid of some form or other. The Dakar would have just ridden over it

They do have their uses. They make a cracking stew

My name supposedly means "lover of horses", this however is just a nasty rumour

yeh right

I think you will find that John Kocinski would disagree about that.

Having spent the best part of 1 1/2 hours running round looking for lil john at donny one year (along with most of the paddock) i can tell you he had little control of himself let alone a motorcycle. We did find him in the end, he was cleaning up outside someone else's motorhome cos it was a mess. strange thing to meet a bloke with a compulsive cleaning disorder. he had no idea what was going on, didn't care that practise was underway all he cared about was cleaning up someone elses mess. Very strange.
granted though he was quite quick on a bike. just very very strange. mind you Phil Mac's probably the strangest bloke i've ever met and if they ever do a remake of "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" i'm putting my money on him for a lead part, damn he was fast but well on the wrong side of normal.

Was the "Hendon Shuffle" originally worked out when the Police used Triumph Speed-Twins and the gear change was on the right and the brake on the left?

Why do riders insist on choosing to ride a bike which is too tall/heavy for them? They can't be in full control surely. I wonder how many riders have collisions & other incidents where this is the primary cause.

Does it matter how tall the bike is when going along? I'm sure that most accidents occur when moving and not when the rider finds they have to stop and put a foot down?

did we ever decide

how? someone has to cut the meat up for them, someone has to turn on the stove for them... just because they can use their mouths to put the stuff in the pot doesn't make them cooks.
