Isn't that the machine that took the road-races away from the 2 cycles for a while ?

Is it a coincidence or what?
Before helmet laws in motorcycle crashes I never hit my head on anything.
Since I have been wearing a helmet, my head has had numerous impacts that would have probably killed me without the helmet.
Duh?

Hi the FID. How are you doing down in that part of world,are you getting out on the bike much, the weather up her has been crap all summer(iv'e got another few words for it but crap is the politest) I am managing to get a few runs in between the monsoon rain and the force ten gales and thon cold hungry brute of a north east wind, that's no use to man or beast, thought I'd give you a shout to let you know that there's a couple of LS's alive way up in this barren wet windy migey infested part of the country, WISHING YOU WELL,, Kenny
