Anyone from on here?

My yesterday lunchtime was pretty much taken up by scooping up some
bloke who put his Buell into the side of a VW Golf, right outside my
front door.

It's the first time I've seen someone cut a slot, from wheel arch to
wheel arch, without using an angle grinder and, for good measure, re-
aligning the back wheel of the Golf with his foot.

However, he did prove the safety nazis wrong by being pretty much
unmarked (other than the aforementioned foot, which was fairly
mangled) despite wearing only t-shirt, jeans and trainers.

I suspect that my proposal to the new bike committee is going to be
revisited fairly soon as she saw the whole thing and was less than
impressed.

 

I did once manage to put a large crease down the side of my mate's Fiat
131 Mirafiori, from mid driver's door to rear wheel arch, with my
Z1100R.[1] I & the bike simply bounced off the side of the car and
ended up in a pub car-park[2] on the other side of the road.


[1] And that's the 3rd mention of that particular bike today!
[2] The Half Moon in Petersfield, IIRC.

 

Quite rightly so. She'd want to make sure you're well insured and that
particularly sub-standard display outside has robbed the world of a
widow who now can't claim on a life policy.
