That won't wash. If I can ride bikes with stitches & pins in my fingers
you can forget trying that one on. Champ even rode his bike when they'd
put his hand back together with the fingers in the wrong places..

Was that what that was on the roundabout? So much traffic it was hard
to tell. But that was just a joke, right? The Pan leans far more than
a Wing. FWIW, my pegs scraped a bunch of times in those vids, but it
sure doesn't look it.

Adds to list, not replaces list.

iirc Champ's middle two fingers are in the wrong place, and my outer
two are the same.

Nope, it really happened.

I usually get as far as a boot scrape and leave it at that :-)

I can vouch for the fact that it happened and the fact that I refused to
reverse the rider/pillion positions so Matt could get his knee down
while pillion.

I still find it hard to believe that SD didn't realise there was
something odd when he was asked for the keys to his bike.
