on the plus side at least the bike is upright on top of the grass and not ploughed into it :smt002
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I think it only does that at 60 mph....

(I did notice on the ride out that everytime we came to a corner with a grass verge, the bike did veer towards it.....)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I think those RAC flat-beds are restricted to 60 - so it won't have been able to go any quicker

Even on a flatbed, it's still upright.....

I was going to bid on Petes previous bike but I thought it might not be the best idea
