Heh.

'This thread'

 

*whoosh*

 

Indeed, although I'd like to add that it's cars which sometimes cause
bikes to stop _rather_ quickly. I'm not even going to think about Smart
car VS Wing.

 

I don't wish to test my own hypothesis, but I reckon a Wing'd go right
through a Smart car.

If you Google you'll find we had a short discussion about this in August.
The thread was called "The best way to travel 5 miles to a train station"
and the conclusion was that people from uk.transport and uk.rec.cycling are
wankers.

Depends how sturdy the brick wall is.

 

Had a few driving lessons with a Police instructor last year, who was also
an ex-police motorcycle instructor. He said that bikes have more efficient
brakes than a car but in reality cars stop quicker than bikes as the rider
has to get the balance between rear and front brake perfect whereas the car
driver just stomps on one pedal.

 

Depends if the car's got a parking sensor.

 

Not the URC peeps. See the thread about hard saddles and numb bits.

Anyway, everyone knows that a Ford Cortina on crossplies
has the shortest stopping distance.

 

Too right. And if you get that balance wrong...

Well, the advantage there is that it feels like you're rubbing someone
else's cock...

 

My colon goes like shit.

I've seen a parked Harley and Wing fall over towards each over
due to mutual gravitational attraction.
