    He highsided it in a hotel car park on the Alps run last year.

    I think it originally came from them being "ATBs", "All Terrain
    Bikes". People called them "Mountain Bikes" and abbreviated (wrongly)
    in a similar fashion.

    I highsided it on our trip to the Alps last year and demolished the
    right hand rearset, right hand clip on, a couple of fairing panels and
    the swinging arm. All this at about 10 mph in a hotel car park.

    Stop laughing...
    That's next weekend.

    Why don't you come to Chimay for the classic racing? Loads of silly
    bastard thrashing classics around a proper road circuit while we sit
    in the sun drinking beer? The usual schedule is get a late tunnel
    crossing on the Thursday, stop overnight in Calais, Chimay by
    lunchtime then into it and return Sunday afternoon.

    In fairness you were extremely helpful when I threw mine down that layby

    Sounds good, I'll check with the gaffer. We're off to Disney very soon
    after so it would be the perfect antidote.

    Has anything been booked yet?

    I'm sure Adie will be happy to supply you with the relevant details. I
    haven't got a clue which crossing we're on or which hotel we're in,
    all I know is we're going.
