I dont think yuo can do more than 30 mph still after passing the test, by definition all you can ride at 16 is a 50cc bike restricted too 30 mph etc, so technically youre mate could have been done for riding a bike capable of more than 30 mph so if he was 16 he should not have been on it at all would only have had a provisional licence there fore should not have had a pillion no plates he was very lucky the old bill did not throw the book at him Merv

Little Johnny's at it again...... A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses.. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!' * * * * * * * * * * * Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. 'Why do you do that, mommy?' he asked. 'To make myself beautiful,' said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue. 'What's the matter?' asked Little Johnny. 'Giving up?' * * * * * * * * * * * The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, 'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44? Little Johnny quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX,ESPNand the Cartoon Network!' * * * * * * * * * * * Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. 'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him. 'Little Johnny asked, 'Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?' * * * * * * * * * * * Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest.. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Johnny, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.' * * * * * * * * * * *

* Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. * Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 70 mph. * You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck. * If you wait, all that happens is that you get older. * Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need. * The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror. * Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise. * Sometimes it takes a whole tank of fuel before you can think straight. * Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town. * Never do less than forty miles before breakfast. * One bike on the road is worth two in the garage. * Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go. * Whatever it is, it's better to do it in the wind. * Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway, it's an attitude. * People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently. * The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome. * A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down. * Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary. * If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every tavern. * There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer. * A long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith and use up a lot of fuel. * If you can't get it going with bungee cords, wire and electrician's tape, it's serious. * Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you. * Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside. * You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze. * Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the car window. * There are two types of people in this world: people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could.

well having driven trucks in Europe for the last 20 years i must say the standard of driving in england has got terrible in the last few years, but the standard of driving in france is improving, but it has to be said that the French government is doing something about it, the introduction of points on licences over there slowed them down a bit, before just a fine and off you go again, but traffic calming systems, ok in big cities the standard of driving leaves a bit too be desired but that is the same in most countries, oh and the instant removal of your licence for 50 kph or 30 mph over the limit and drink driving helps calm em down, and their drink drive limit is lower than ours, also you do not seem to get so much road rage over there, if yuo make a mistake and someone has to brake hard thet tend ot just shrug their shoulders and carry on. unlike on daft pillock in Poole on monday night reversed straight out of a parking space in front of me witout looking making me brake hard when i blew the horn just sat there and wound down his window and stuck his fingers up, car is noted next i will not brake, 40 tons of artic vs 08 registred nice new disastra guess who will be worst off Merv

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services.' Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? Sincerely, Bill Clinton
