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...

They should all be speed limited to 3mph.. AND there should be some form of test people have to do before using one of those bloody things.
I kinda raised a smile and muttered a 'Yessss!'..

Other people react the same way to motorbikes!

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

yeah
]
we have to do a test
we have to have insurance
we have to pay road tax
we can lose our licences if we are stupid etc
those whipple wagons have no requirement at all - anyone can use them, they can go on pavements, no need for lights etc etc
Beccles used to have a nun in one - fucking nightmare - and christian views my arsehole - that stupid bitch was bloody dangerous... she clipped the heels of the police inspector and he could do nothing about her....
(And she was not even a proper penguin - she wore brown!)

I'm just not fond of generalisations, though I must admit to treating a disabled badge,with reason in my experience, as an indication of a mental disability.

Being disabled shouldn't give you an excuse to get away with acting like a twat. Book him, Danno.

Cast iron best, Stainless will do just as as well but is a costly extravagance.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

One year at a local carnival there were a lot of them all dressed up - one woman had a sign on the back "My other vehicle is a Harley"
