Do not start the bike in an enclosed space with baffles out and johnny cash at full pelt

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

That would work out quite well if you're not a Johnny Cash fan.

Someone getting nervous about where there hat may be getting too?

The well known Cambridge photos are a case in point the one where she is having a crafty smoke.....


Look closely.....


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...
