Nice one galty, . . have a good day and lets see the pics, . . . they've launched a safety campaign for bikers but in all the years I rode bikes every accident my mates were involved in was due to a stupid car driver.One friend was badly crippled because a trucker came out of a junction, . . the statistics say that bikes are only 1% of todays traffic but account for 15% of road fatalities, . . the only protection a biker has is the crash helmet so think twice before exiting from a road, . . a bike is only a fraction the width of a car, . . and the "A" posts on modern cars are too dammed broad IMO, . . they act like horse blinkers.

Unwashed louts and hooligans-thus spoke the fount of all knowledge.*I really hated my father.
Odd really how he was so prejudice when my Uncle(the Baptist Minister) only had a bike and a sidecar when he took up his first Ministry
* He also said all pop stars were the same
