how fast is fast?
Had my GS 500e up to 110 last summer, then started to lose my helmet, (open face), So i thought, WELL you can`t see now so slow down, That`s why although i love my YAMMIES, I`ll always keep the GS, We can all do with a little terror in are lives, But it`s each to there own really, I don`t know what i was thinking that day, I prefer to cruise, Must be an age thing, O G Will know. LOL. But we all like to know what are bikes can do don`t we. Think i`ll E-mail age concern now, Thinking back to that day i`m becoming quite concerned.

Bikes in bus lanes victory
Am i the only one not sure about this, I ride through London often (Daughter visiting) And it could turn into chaos, Will you be happy to sit behind a bus, or will you say "I`ll just overtake this one and get back in lane, weaving in and out of traffic to do so, The bus driver heart attack rate will double, Don`t forget the huge amount of riders all trying to do the same thing, And i`ll not mention all the scooters (spit) piddling about, getting in the way,(as they so often do), Now I`m a born optimist but still... I`ve nothing against Scooters, My youngest daughter has one, Devils spawn from hell. (I must get a D.N.A. test soon).

Hello hello hello.
You know Queensferry, Nice quiet sedate town nothing untoward ever went on there, After a freezing few days sweeping, (round and round bass rock) I still feel giddy sometimes, Once ashore it was two beers, fish supper and back on board, YA RIGHT, more like DODGE CITY. Great place for a young man,

Numberplate recognition
Pulled over yesterday, "Just a quick check sir" No great shakes, gave me a chance to have a fag (the ash tray on my bike was full), Whilst one officer walked slowly round and round the bike, Probably wishing he had one, The other was reading my papers, And having a chat (as they do) AS IF, Probably checking for signs of alcohol / hangover, It being 8 ish new years morning, who in there right mind would be cruising in the bitter cold, (well i would), My query is, Don`t they just put your index number in there computer, And receive Bike / owner details, Strait away?, I know they were probably checking ME out, Any insight into this GAS-UP?.

When God created France it was a most beautiful and wondrous place, The other countries complained because of this, So to appease them he created the FRENCH,
